Does not load past initial screen

[kristoffer]

Been trying since yesterday and it does not load past initial loading animation screen. Bar fills up then screen dims slightly and hangs until I use the task manager to force close the program. Have included dxdiag for detailed system specs and a screen grab of the screen on which it gets stuck. Ran as administrator. Uninstalled and reinstalled. No progress since I started yesterday. I can send crash dumps as well but they all exceed the attachment file limits for the forum.

Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 10586)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz

That would be a hard one to figure out.
Can you upload crash dumps to google drive?

1. Find and rename SwordUltimate.exe to SwordUltimate_Original.exe.
2. Download,and place the new SwordUltimate.exe from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8D5aa2gyLNZOEdnYVFsOVA1XzQ.
3. Delete Crashes folder.
4. Start the game.
5. If it's stuck again. Provide link to the new dump file.

FYI: If the game isn't stuck, you still won't be able to play multiplayer. It's just a temporary diagnostic version of the exec file with the purpose of zeroing in on the stuck problem.

Sweet.

Any progress?

[Mitko]

The next big update should have the issue resolved.
"Should" meaning Georgi says he fixed it, but you'd never really know until we release it in the wild.

[kristoffer]

Same error after installing latest update.
