idk if it is just me but the open forest level is not working once the cube go's on it it just takes me to the loading screen and never loads

What stage does it get to?

Does it go to the screen with the picture, or does it get as far as the final black loading screen with the text updates, and if it gets to that, which one does it get stuck on?

My working theory is possibly something is failing to load properly, so it keeps trying to place an object and fails the whole section of code stopping progression. The other one is that code keeps going but gets into an infinite loop trying to spawn it.

The bits of text that pop up like "Trimming bushes" are markers for what is currently being spawned/generated, so if it's stuck on one of those, it gives a good idea what's failed.

The other alternative is to quit and try again. Most things should spawn in the same place, but it might just have been a glitch. Still bad and I'd still like to track it down.

it gets to the loading screen with the pic but after a long time it never loaded anything just stayed on the pic never chageing 

 

but it only happens when i go on the open forest levels but the dungen works

So they're totally different level types. The dungeon is relatively lightweight for loading, while the open forests are big and have to load a lot.

First things to try would be update windows then update GPU drivers. I tend to find more often than not that issues resolve when everything is up to date. If it's not getting to the black loadscreen then it can't open the level at all. Does it do it for every forest level, or just that one in particular? Could be an unseen error in one of the levels.
