Preload complete, loading news?

My preload has been complete for a while, and everytime I open BGEE.exe it stalls for a few minutes on "loading news", then takes me back to the "preload complete, click here for manuals" page. Is this simply because the servers are very busy, or has something happened that I need to fix? Is anyone else having this problem? I have a class starting soon, so I'm not impatient to play the game (since I can't anyway), but if I need to reload something, I'd rather get that process started so it can run while I'm afk.

Thanks for any information/help, and thanks again for a fantastic game!

    Unfortunately it looks like everyone has the same issue.
    I know this waiting is a real pain in the buttocks but i'm sure they'll fix it one way or another ;)

    I'm having the same issue. From Trent's tweets it looks like servers are overloaded and they still have a few bugs to fix.

    Yeah ,looks like everybody have some major problems to launch the game right now ,it´s a pity.

    Thanks everyone, it's nice to know it's a common issue. I'm sure they'll get it worked out, I just wanted to make sure it was a server issue, rather than something broken.

    And thanks Trent and everyone for keeping us informed and working so hard ^_^

    LOL, it is always the same. Like it was one year ago with Skyrim.
    One big DATE when the game will be released, overloaded servers, last minute bug fixes and all this couple of months before the game will be finally a bit stable and ready to play. :-)

    Well mine advanced past preload complete. But now stuck at getting download info :P

    It's amazing how badly jammed the servers are -- even if they fix the final download piece right now, I'll be amazed if we all can finish downloading it in the next day or so. While waiting for some fix to get the last 100MB, I thought I might as well download the manuals and look them over. No dice... gets maybe 10 KB and dies. (Figured I'd best stop trying, since doing that can't be helping... :-))

    This is exactly what I have.

    I know I shouldn't be upset about it. Release days never go smoothly and I'll probably be able to d/l the final bit and play tomorrow (what's another day when I've waited 12 years). It's just aggravating to pre-order a game and still have to wait the same time as people who didn't pre-order. ;/
