Hanging on splash screen

splash screen and development console hangs after:

Until textures start loading at:

What I expected was an indication that it was loading, and that the splash screen stays responsive.

Clicking on the splash screen while it's loading makes the system think its unresponsive, and goes white.( but will still load ) Clicking exit at this point crashes the game.
