Stuck at Main Splash Screen

[Koukai]

Currently anytime I open this game, I am stuck at the main Splash Screen. I can see the town, the wagon driving by, and have audio, but never go past this point. It never freezes, just continuously acts as if its loading the main menu. I have gone through the following:

OneDrive is disabled on my PC always has been.
Uninstalled/reinstalled 4 times
Multiple verify file integrity
Cleared all registry entries associated with Farthest Frontier
Deleted all folders associated with Farthest Frontier
Recreated the folder and the migrated.dat in the save directory
Reinstalled Graphics Driver
Multiple reboots of PC during this process
Turned cloud save off.
Ensured any type of Nvidia overlay/optimization is turned off.

There is no high cpu/gpu usage during this time. I am at a loss at what could be possibly causing this.

Same issue here now; worked fine yesterday. Did you figure out a solution?

Actually, mine is only freezes when trying to load my game. Starting a new one worked fine.

It can take up to 15 minutes or more to load the game. The more villagers, the longer it takes. New game has few villagers so it loads quickly. Open task manager as the game is loading. You'll see it cranking along.
