SW: Squadrons Mission 9 never loads after cutscene

I've progressed to Mission 9 and cannot get past the loading screen after what I assume is the final cutscene before starting the mission. I tried reinstalling the game and that didn't work.

Is there a workaround for this? I bought this last week and the game runs great on low graphics settings but I just can't find a way past this.

Edit: After looking deeper into the system requirements, the recommended video card for my AMD laptop (Radeon HD 7850 or Equivalent) has 2gb of dedicated ram while my integrated GPU has 512mb of VRAM.
