Apex loading screen stuck in Steam

Hello everyone, is anybody else experiencing the issue where Apex on Steam just keeps staying stuck on the wheels turning screen?

When I start the game, the Respawn and EA intro plays, and then the game gets stuck on the loading screen.

I've tried verifying files integrity, reinstalling the game, flushing DNS cache, running the executable as administrator and in compatibility mode. Some guides suggested logging in to Steam on a Respawn site, but the link doesn't work anymore.

Is there anything else I can do, or just wait for an update?

@nikkehtine could you try removing any USB storage on your PC and see if that helps.

  @EA_Atic Strangely enough, unplugging my external HDD solved the issue. Heh
  Thanks
