So ive had this issue since I downloaded the Closed Beta yesterday night. When I lunch it in steam, it gets stuck in a black screen, says its not responding then crashes. After restarting my pc, and launching it again, the intro movie will start. Everything looks normal, until the first loading screen. It takes forever to load and then when it finally does load, the avatar portraits looks horribly pixeled and the game starts to get choppy. After a while it will run smoothly again and when I hit start, once again I get a super long loading screen. 

Anyone else on steam running into these issues, and if so, do yall have a workaround for them? 

(and yes, I do meet the recommended specs for it)
