How to fix endless loading on PC?

The game shows no errors and runs smoothly. The title comes up and the going forward among stars animation begins but nothing happens after that.

I'm using a PC. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Solution 1:

If this is the first time you have loaded the game or haven't started playing the game proper and the screen says Initialising.

You have to hold the E button down.

Solution 2:

If stuck on "Initialise..." white screen:

There was a patch recently (around 8/22/219) - "beyond update" - that allows for the rebinding of keys again. I had not played for a few years so my keys were still rebound but not "activated" because of the patches in between.

Solution: log into old save, rebind all keys that have a lower case letter instead of a caps letter in a square. Then the activating screen actually showed a letter for me when starting a new game.

Solution 3:

This could simply be the game is still loading. The first load on PC can take a number of minutes and once it is complete and the screen says Initializing you must hold the use button (E by default).
