Fixed: I validated my game files through Steam and had to reaquire one file - FIXED!
I get stuck on the loading screen with the icon spinning. I cannot open the menu - but when I press escape I can hear it. It also sounds like I can walk around but cannot see what I am doing. I have to alt+f4 to get out of the echo loading screen and tried 4 times with the same result.
I managed to get into one echo but now it is back to not letting me in.

My friend and I were having this issue in multiplayer (just in multiplayer for me), turned out he had 2 corrupt files (none on my end) the verify integrity of game files on his PC fixed the issue. But even though my files were fine if we were grouped it would bug for me as well. Just adding this as more info for the devs, and to confirm the verify integrity of files as a fix.
