So, everytime i start this game up for the first time and trying to load my save, it stops at like 10% and even after 20 minutes it doesnt budge. So, I bring up task manager, end program, and reload the game. After that, loads up my save file without even a stutter. Any ideas why this is happening or how i can fix this?

Hi, i have the same problem after 2 years you made this post. I have this game on Epic Games Store couse they gave it for free and i didn't had any issues about loading screen. I bought another copy on GOG, couse I like this platform for no DRM. But this loading issues that you wrote above is killing my vibes. Just wanna slay enemies without waiting 10 min or restarting the game.

//Edit: Never ending loading is no longer a problem. I dont know what was the problem, but it wasn't GOG version issue.
