"Loading..." +10 minutes & still waiting!

Why does "Loading..." take so long? :confused:

If you are not sure, please refrain from guessing; I'm a 20 year IT veteran & I have all kinds of guesses.

I'm not asking for a guess, I'm asking someone who Knows! A GM/Mod/Dev or someone who knows what processes are going on besides; loading a Character Selection Screen, because that should only take seconds! :eek:

Loading with a progress bar of whatever the heck is taking so long would be informative and greatly appreciated! :)

Thanks in advance for your KNOWLEDGE.

    20 Years knowing IT ... sorry for being impolite, but you should know after these 20 years:
    Just saying something is not working, won't lead to any solution without guessing.
    There are hundreds of possibilities, the most reasonable your firewall.

    well ther are 2 things that can cause this
    1 the game is downloading new data
    2 the game crashed

    PS the game has sort of a loading bar its the large numbers at the right side.

    No it finally loads; this latest one using ~100% CPU for 20 minutes.
    There is no numbers anywhere on the screen after CRYPTIC, that only displays "Loading..." and the StarTrek Badge/Symbol.

    I believe it is doing a system assessment test of the computer, it at least does the Video Card, if not System I/O; Local Storage, network and CPU, thanks to sysinternals process viewer and other tools. :D

    Not downloading as Net i/o near zero, not crashed as Loading finally finishes. Hmm guesses. :(

    Firewall, yes it is up and set to block baddies. :P

    I use PeerBlock firewall that uses iblocklist level 1 list with the following settings:
    The best Solution to this Problem (& funny now the search engine has hits for "Loading...") IS:
    "I am stuck in a never ending loading screen, how do I fix this? "

    What happens when your ping is 60ms ,you have a 120mpps internet connection ,firewall and AV turned off ,the game installed on a ssd and you have to wait like 5 minutes to load ESD or your bridge?
