sits on loading screen indefinitely when starting a new game

[exo66]

Describe the bug
stuck on the intro screen when loading a new game. the voiceover finishes and the music keeps playing but the blue button doesn't appear.

To Reproduce
step 1: on the main menu click 'play now'
step 2: listen to Sean bean butcher someone's name. (eg "hoejoe talkymoon")
step 3: 2 minutes after clicking 'play now' it should still be loading, I don't think it will finish.

Expected behavior
I tested without cqui just now and timed it at 30 seconds for the button to appear

Save game and logs
no save games. can't load in.
tried uploading logs but getting errors; seems like each file will have to be uploaded individually, let me know if any specific log files would help and I'll try.

Modding.log and Lua.log are the two that would be most useful, if you can grab them.

Not sure what is the release number on MacOS, but on Win it is 1.0.12.9. Are you sure your game is up to date?

I found this happened on my NixOS system, though for me I think that it was actually better world rankings. Regardless, most menus were missing again.
