I've been having issues since the 1.30 update with getting stuck on the Loading Assets screen.
Sometimes it will start if I haven't logged in (I have premium My Colony).
It happens on all the versions I can use, Ape Launcher, the web app, Windows Store, and the standalone.
The standalone is the only one that let me play after I logged in, it stopped working when I exited and reopened though.
I've tried the uninstall reinstall thing.
It's an ad blocker issue most likely

This happens, even on offline games, when you have no Internet connection.
