Did you try switching to a different graphics mode > You were on fast > switch to beautiful and try loading.

 

Same result, how did you determine I was using fastest?

 

The same thing was happening when loading into Owl's Head earlier this release, and the graphics mode switch seemed to allow me into the scene after frustrating moments of being stuck at 98% on tens of minutes.

Was worth a chance to attempt.

 

Your system does not meet the minimum requirements for the amount of System RAM. Unfortunately, I believe your lack of System RAM might be what is leading to the issue you're experiencing.

 

I've 8 GB which is the minimum, also I'm playing normally just fine albeit on fastest. I was going to try loading to the overworld first but decided to give it one last go and actually got in, not sure what changed after failed three times.

 

This is an issue that is happening on live that is also happening on QA. It usually (but not always) happens on the first load in. When this happens try switching to a different video setting (Fastest to something else, for example) or try the overworld. For some, just trying again will work. We're still working out the nitty gritty on this one.

 

Your Intel HD Graphics 530 takes some from system RAM so the usable memory (RAM) is much less than 8 GB.
