I wanted to know if anyone else is having this issue because after reading all the other posts I can't tell if my problem is related to what seems to be plaguing OOO right now.

I download and install the game through Steam with no issues.

I get to the character creation screen and create a character with no issues.

But then when I click play I get to the loading screen where it says loading and gives a percent but it doesn't move from 0%.

I leave it like that for over an hour multiple times and it doesn't move from 0%.

And before you all say, I have updated to the latest version of Java, Flash, and my graphic card drivers, and nothing helps.
