My fix for the stuck loading screen was to delete the AMD Crimson driver files and replace with the older 15.7.1 Catalyst driver files.

First you need to know what operating system your PC uses and which video card you have.
On your desktop, right click your Computer System Icon and click on Properties. Under the header "Windows System" it should say something like Windows 7. Under "System", look for System Type. It should say something like 64-bit.
Now we need to find out what video card you have. Look on the left column and you should see a link "Device Manager". Click on it and a new window should appear. Look for "Display Adapters" and click on the arrow to the left. It should show which model video card you have.
Go to this website http://support.amd.com/en-us/download and go to the "Manually select your drivers." Click on the options to match what you found out earlier. It should then bring you to a page with the newest Crimson drivers. Look on the right side for "Download Previous Drivers & Software." Click on 15.7.1 to download.
Then go to this page to read how to uninstall the Crimson drivers and install the old Catalyst drivers http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/catalyst-windows-install.aspx
When you uninstall your drivers, your computer screen will change. Don't worry about it. Once the new-old drivers are installed, it will go back to normal. And don't forget to restart your PC after uninstalling the Crimson drivers.
Hope this helps.
As it is, i have to endure the brightness being altered across my monitor through my drivers because someone made the game so damn dark. Yes the game settings for brightness are globally altered through the drivers directly. After the game crashes the brightness on my desktop is horrendous until i hit advanced options on my drivers.
This game is starting to become malware.
Soon i`ll email anti-virus companies to add this game to their database detection list. (For realz)
Try selecting safe mode under options in the launcher. From there ingame select DX9 for graphics display settings (Direct3d 9), also select NONE in the Anti Aliasing option and over ride that setting in the amd driver options to your preference.
After this it loads up just fine and not had an exe crash. No DX11 though
Until there is an update fix that's all i got.
Just ignore it, until it costs them money.
Using my headphones STILL crashes the game in combat, every time, and that's a bug that started with LAST YEAR'S winter event. They know what it is and what causes it, but no fix.

I'm with you there. Been playing since Day 1, bought a life sub 3 or 4 years ago, bought every KDF and Romulan ship that ever came out but I'm not about to roll back to an older version of the driver just for STO. Crimson works great with all of my other games (including Cryptic Champions Online and Neverwinter). I will still try to log on now and then but I won't do any changes to my system just for this one game.
Also, I had submitted a ticket to Cryptic and they told me the problem was with WIndows 10, not Crimson. STO still does not support Windows 10...
It almost worked. Safe Mode actually let me in... once. I had already adjusted those setting through Crimson so I did not even have to change anything. It worked well for maybe 3 minutes but the moment I tried entering a new zone the gameclient crashed duiing map transfer and I have never been able to get back in since then. Safe Mode crashes at the loading screen just like standard mode. I'll check again in a few days but since this has been going for a month now I get the feeling it's not about to be corrected. Back to Neverwinter or The Old Republic.
