Hello, when I enter the game, I create my character. Then I wait on the loading screen for the game to start, but it freezes on the loading screen. When I look at the task manager, it says the game is not responding. I can create my character but cannot enter the game. The game music plays but the game does not start, thank you in advance for your help.

Hey! Do you know if your game is downloaded on an SSD? Scum loads a massive amount of data on initial spawn. If the game is installed on a normal hard drive (HDD or Spinning Disk) it can take upwards of 5 to sometimes even 10 minutes to load in. You will start with just the loading screen, then the environment sounds will kick in (game sounds will start), then the game will finally load. If you click around in the window Windows will think Scum is not responding, but Scum will still be loading in the background as long as you don't close it in task manager. An SSD speeds up this load time immensely
