I just bought the game and when I started it up the intro was fine up to that message, but the game is just stuck at this point.
I can hear the music just fine but this screen won't change at all so I have no way of playing the game.

I have tried validating file integrity even though I just installed the game, and there was no problem in the game files
Apparently restarting my PC (probably had to do with steam) fixed the problem
In the screenshot above the ALIAS part says "UNKNOWN" for some reason instead of my actual username
So maybe the game couldn't connect properly to steam

I am currently also experiencing this problem, but restarting my laptop doesn't fix it

did you launch the game while steam is offline? got that happening when that's the case for me
