I ran into what might be this issue on a 2016 macbook pro. It would hang on any load screen. I solved it by adjusting my graphics settings down to low.
 
Trying to play on ALIENWARE
Alienware 64 bit system/Intel core 1-5 processor 6400 CPU @ 2700GHZ /16 mb Ram/Windows 10/Nvidia GE GTX 745 with most up to date driver With a 2tb hard drive

Started a new game yesterday. Load times were not great. But at least playable. Today the button continue shows up. But nothing happens on clicking it. When i click e.g. skirmish or something else. It loads forever. Started the game on a normal HDD, switched to a SDD. Load times are not improved by any means. Looks more like a FW/Server issue maybe?

Edit: updated to todays Nvidia drivers. Now at least the options menu loads in a reasonable time. But without the ability to load a saved game it is kind a showstopper...

I have been trying since yesterday when the game went live on Steam. Hangs as soon as i press campaign button with endless tooltips on the load screen. Single player skirmish menu is kinda jacked up as well, if i change lance size it gets stuck in an endless load as well and pressing start does nothing. I have tried backdating video drivers, reinstalling, admin mode, dll edits, compat modes, different video settings, and no results. I even started it and took a nap, 4 hours later it was still scrolling tooltips and playing music on the load screen. I have zero logs in my game folder from any of these as the only way to end the load screen is alt+f4. Past the deadline for a refund so I am sitting here with a useless chunk of data I paid 40 bucks for. Paradox has earned my loyalty from their previous games but this is causing some concern. I will wait another day then I will be contacting someone for a refund. I have 6 hours logged in the game on steam but have yet to play it. Bogus.

This is what I am experiencing as well. No ability to continue a campaign (load is greyed out) and skirmish mode options just spin at me in an infinite load screen

While I'm sure they'll get this fixed, this is definitely a "Pre-Order" / "Early Access" killer for me. Here's to hoping we hear something soon.
 
Experienced the same upon clicking on Campaign for first time. I let it load for a good 15 minutes, but nothing came of it. I have to suffer through long loads for games like Stellaris and Star Citizen, so was semi-prepared to wait a bit. But at least they eventually load. I noticed the new NVIDIA driver per Wolf's comment above. Updating now to see if there's a difference.
 
Another angry user. I am trying to load on Steam; the saves get grayed out, new game gives an infinite loading screen. Yesterday loading times were long, but at least it worked.

I'm starting to wonder if I didn't give Battletech long enough to load, but it was doing almost nothing with system resources. My CPU was at 6% when it was in use, Battletech got around around 1.5GB of RAM before it stopped accumulating resources, Disk was 0%, and my GPU was a constant 25-27%. And it just never did anything except show me some cool tooltips. On my i7 / Quatro Laptop, it loaded in about 30 seconds. So there's something funky... just wish I knew what. I want to blow up some giant mechs!
 
Another bug report stated that un-setting "Read Only" on the folders in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<user_id>\637090\" (where user_id is whatever your user ID is, there's only one on my machine) fixed the issue, but it might have been coincidental. I'm guessing Steam is to blame here.

I have checked the game integrity on steam, updated the Nvidia drivers, even updated Windows and after 10 minutes of loading without success I think I can honestly say that the game is completely bricked.
