crypitic screen stays...forever

so I get through the launcher and the patching, then get stuck on the Cryptic studios tag screen. My mouse icon will fly around and occasionally will turn into the hourglass/thinking icon. At this point nothing else happens and I have to restart my machine. Anyone else?

    Try running in windowed mode, there might be a popup from a firewall or something opening behind the game.

    Try using Alt - Enter to switch between full screen and windowed.

    You can also try Alt - Tab to switch programs.

    Unchecking fullscreen will do it.

    Total seat of the pants suggestion:

    In the launcher, go to the options at the top of the screen. In the sub-window check force verify.

    If I understand correctly, that will force it to check all your game files, and correct any it detects as bad. That may fix your piggs file problem.

    After that, if you still can't get into the game, use the same options window to start in Safe Mode. If that works, quit and try it again normal.

    Good luck.

    Fatal error: Error decompressing data. Verifying Files in the launcher may fix this issue.
    Technical Details: ./piggs/texture.hogg: Texture_Library/ui/Startupscreens/Loadscreen_Progess_Bar_empty_left.jpg: Error decompressing data.
    Verifying Files in the launcher may fix this issue.

    I tried to force verify and while it seemed to work, it didn't fix my problem. That is the error message I keep getting. will try the safe mode thing, but it wasn't helping earlier.
