Do you have a high refresh rate monitor? I'm stuck at the same part for the same reason and I'm starting to think it might be tied to some thing like that. If I can't force my way though after another few dozen tries I might try it on my art tablet which is only 60 and see if that does it
Edit: Yeah I'm almost certain that refresh rate was the issue. Soooo much slower on my 60 fps tablet and I got it right away, though using my tablet pen diiiiid also help
