Can confirm, just like a few of the other guys here, VFS.asi causes an infinite loading screen. My game is a legit copy and the build is 1491.16 which is the newest version. Perhaps and update is needs to be made for LML idk
update - was able to get it working by using the files from beta 8, then replacing VFS with the one from beta 10.
update 2 - nevermind, still not working.
