Is anyone else having issues loading?

Skip,
If the version you are having trouble loading is test, try changing your game graphics option with the button at the bottom of the log in screen.
I had trouble after the update myself, until i changed mine to use Directx 8. The preset is Directx 9. I will attach a screen shot of the log in screen below.

I hope this helps with your problem.
