iirc there was an issue with load screens, I don’t remember where it was mentioned though.

I believe it was the issue with how the game freezes up when it loads, making animated stuff like that useless.

Zombieassasin and The Sink God are correct, there is a problem with loading screens that causes them to freeze. While I do think the loading screen you show is nice, I personally would prefer GMT syle loading screens. I thought there was a thread about bringing back that style of loading screen, but I can’t seem to find it.

Unreal Engine 4 has some issues with crashing/freezing on loading screens. The devs are going to have to wait until the UE4 team has fixed this issue.  
Not sure if the UE4 version used in 0.2.0.0 contains this fix.
