PUBG stuck at loading screen but game audio still plays

Whenever I start up PUBG I can get into lobby with no issues and everything works fine. However when I click start, it puts me into a game but it goes to a loading screen (where it shows PLAYERUNKOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS) and stays on that screen for a very long time. While I am stuck at the loading screen I can hear everything and even control my character, but I can't see anything. Sometimes I will be stuck on the loading screen for up to 5 minutes or longer (meaning by the time I can see I have already been dropped from the plane). Once the screen goes away the game plays as normal. Any fix?

My specs are:
GPU: GTX 950 CPU: I5-4590 3.0GHz RAM: 8GB
