Give it a few minutes if not, go to the file location and there should be an .exe called packcheck, i used that and when it finished i didnt have the problem no longer.

How long did that packcheck file take? I'm going on 15 mins+ now and all it says is " Checking pack file content.ggpk.

oh umm, it took about 10 mins i'd say, try closing or reopening? Or try running the game again

ok so after waiting fo a whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ eternity the game pops up. Am I going to have to wait 30 mins + everytime I open this game to play it?

I am having the same problem, I am running the "Checking Pack" and it's right, takes ages. So, after this checking the game will start? Perhaps after 30 min? That sounds ridiculous. Is sure that it only happens the first launch? Thanks

Ok, the problem was that for Windows 10 is necessary edit the compatibility with Windows 7 on the exe file. Also mark as run always as administrator. It should fix the issue

One day, maybe, someone will make one of these posts and actually list what hardware is inside of their machine.

First load was very quick. Now most loads take anywhere from 1-3 minutes.
