Post Odyssey patch 4 - Now can't load game

[Bionic Bytes]

Anyone else having the same issue - after Patch 4 dropped, the game just sits at the "Loading Game" text and won't go any further?

Yup...apparently Steam didn't update files correctly but they are working on it. Launcher has an option to validate files but mine doesn't go past "Preparing"...

I'm was patched, in and running (non-Steam install) but can't connect to the adjudication servers now (Blue Cobra error).
Something's wrong somewhere!

I'm pretty sure the launcher is scanning all 64+gb of files at the preparing stage. Based on the way the task manager is reporting the disk access, it will likely take some time to get it all done at 15-25mb a second. The steam verifier was faster, not much faster but faster.

SOLUTION FOR STEAM USERS:
Start Launcher from Steam
Launcher Options-> ED Cache disabled!
Launcher Options -> Validate Game Files
Launch Oddyssey and play
