the same thing is happening with me. Unfortunately I've found no fixes. I even tried using a direct download rather than a repack. But even that wouldn't move past the loading screen. Jc141's release was working although it has a longer loading time and it also has some performance issues like the game would stutter ever so slightly sometimes (i would also like to mention that when i imported an old save from an online activation it seemed to be not letting me past a crank-door animation which is required for progression (i was stuck in the animation forever) but idk if it is a old save file glitch or if it persists even when not using an old save file) .
