Worldbuilder not Loading

[SJSerio]

Is anybody else having issues with Worldbuilder not starting? Just after getting G&K, it worked fine and I was able to get in. Now, however, whenever I try to open, WB will come up to the loading screen but never goes any further. It would usually take about (maybe) 30 seconds to load before (even after G&K), but now it is just sitting there. I have started it and walked out of the room and when I return a few minutes later, it is still "loading". Eventually I just have to close it out. Anybody else having this issue?

PS... Just to give an idea, I started the Worldbuilder just before posting this thread and it is still loading at 7:10am ET. About 20 minutes... way too long!

So I take it that I am the only one experiencing this?!?

I have this too, sometimes it loads and sometimes it doesn't. And when it doesn't load and I close the splash screen, it leaves the Civ5 process running in the background, so I have to end it using the Task Manager to be able to run the game or the World Builder again.

Mine is not quite like that. It just sits there. I've even tried letting it sit for a while and nothing happened. When I close it, I am able to reopen the SDK or the actual game, just can't get into world builder.

I also was able to get into ModBuddy.

OK... just to pass on that I figured it out. It was an antivirus program that I installed. When I disabled it, I was able to open the world builder.
