The white loading intro takes a really long time all of a sudden and the game lags at probably 8 or 9 frames per second once it gets to the starting menus.  I can find the output log thing you guys do have to have account to simply post it here?  I also can't find the option to search for this issue as there doesn't seem to be a way to search the forums or filter them and I would've looked to see if this problem had already been solved :/

In the black box to the top of forum: "Search games, ideas, posts". Click it and a new (white) line occurs, where you can put in the key words for to search.
