Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Enhanced Edition Stuck at loading New Game screen

Hey guys,

First of all - I did my research but couldnｴt find any help after two hours googling/reading through forums.

Problem is that whenever I click a New Game, the loading screen appears, music plays, game tips change but no loading is happening.

Latest version of the game on i5 4460, 8Gb RAM, GTX 670, SSD, Win 7 64 Home Premium.

I also noticed that I canｴt find any games for MP. The game seems unable to connect to Internet??

I tried, reinstalling (first on HDD then system SSD), switching off Firewall, changing various graphic settings, running in administrator/compatibility mode, delete the Documents/Divinity ... folder, reinstalling MS Visual C++, ... Nothing helped.
The original game ran no problem.

Any suggestions are very welcome!

Thank you.
