Hello NoxEmpire,
After a very deep search in the graphic engine, we have found and correct a bug which can cause a freeze when loading images in some old graphic cards (for example it didn't work on every GeForce 10 series). I hope it should correct your bug, can you try and confirm me if it is working now or not ?
