Introducing
In this guide I will show you some ways to fix unlimited loading.
First way
First way to fix - is to change type of game in myltiplayer option:
if you play in private - сhange it to public, and if in public - change to private.
When it changed - try to start game. (If It worked, after quit you can return to your usual settings.)
Second way
Secong way to fix it - switch game to 32 bit.
To do it you have to run 7 days to die launcher:


Then you have to switch game to 32 bit:
After that you can try run game and start your world.
Third way
Third way to fix is to simply verify integrity of your game files.
Go to prorepties:


Then go to local files and press "verify integrity of game files:

When verify is done you can run a game and try to start your world.
Fourth way
Fourth way to fix it - add this into your launch options: -force-d3d9

Go to 7 days to die prorepties:


Go to the "set lauch options":


Then add "-force-d3d9" to launch options and press ok.


After that you can try run a game and enter your world.
Fifth way
Another way to fix it - create new or use one of default profiles.

Go to options:


Then to player profiles:


Choose one of defaults or create new one:


Try to enter your world.

Additionally
Also to speed-up loading world ( in singleplayer) anti-cheat can be disabled.
To do it you have to run 7 days to die launcher and disable anti-cheat:

Yes, it may cause less fps at some systems.

Would putting it in 32 bit give me less fps?

More things than don't works: reinstall and delete all your saves; Use or not the latest experimental or estable A16... I'm so tired now, ¿perhaps in a17?

Restart is not a real fix, reinstall isn't a real fix, change profiles or stop using custom profiles isn't a real fix, switch "persistent profiles" on/off isn't a real fix, disable anticheat isn't a real fix; restore the integrity of game files isn't a real fix (if you dont use mods, all your files are ok), Stop using HUI mods (The only ones I occasionally use) isn't a real fix, switch game to 32 bit isn't a real fix,
create a game in navezgane and come in and out isn't a real fix (oh, yeah, the only game working is the navezgane one). -force-d3d9 isn't a real fix; and change in multiplayer public/private also don´t works.
Thanks to everybody working in this issue. I come back to navezgane, or to stardew valley. ;)

restarting the game fixes it for me :D

And yes, wrong-mofided XML files may cause this problem and even game crashes. I prefer leave this files untouchable.

Thanks. Maybe problem in default visual renderer. I think, if try to use GLCore renderer bug shall go. I will test it.

Me again.
I've downloaded a mod (SMX stuff) ggives some visual changes, but since I installed it the loading bug has gone.
I think it might had something to do with the XML files on the config folder...

you could always try and uninstall completly, and than reinstall. I did this when i switched to default characters, so it could have also been that.
