How to Fix Infinite Load Glitch

Sometimes the game will get stuck in an infinite cycle of loading after launching from the main menu. This work around should help solve the problem and make the game playable again.

Overview

When launching the game and shaders have successfully optimized and you are connected to WB Services (which can take a while in itself), you are brought to the main menu. Naturally, you click "straight into the action" to play the game. However, you may find yourself sitting at this screen for countless minutes.

The game will refuse to load in, but there is a solution to force it to load. This fix is not permanent, but nor does it need to be applied before every play session. I don't know what causes the game to break, but this fix is consistent in allowing me to actually play the game again, since the devs have still not fixed this issue, and likely will never, due to the reception and attitude around the game.

Step 1:
Make sure the game is not open. Press (Windows Key + R) to bring up the run window. Type "appdata", and press OK. From here, navigate to Local, and then down to Suicide Squad - Kill the Justice League. Open the folder called Saved.

Step 2:
There are files in this folder that end in the suffix (.ushaderprecache). All three of these files need to be deleted.

Step 3:
Close out of Windows Explorer and launch the game through Steam again. New repaired versions of the shader files will be generated upon launching the game. You should notice that the boot-up sequence is quicker. After clicking "straight into the action", give it a minute, and you should load back into the game at wherever you left off at last.

Step 4:
If your game still refuses to load, I found an additional solution that allowed my game to load, so it's worth giving it a try. Within the "Saved" folder described in Step 1, navigate to "SaveGames", and then to "OfflineSaves". Delete the .vdf vile, or move it to your desktop if you are uncomfortable with outright deleting it. Another one will be generated when you log back into the game anyways.
