what windows version do you use?
do you use multiple monitors?
do you have any antivirus software that could be interfering?
do you have VS 2008 - 2010 - 2012 - 2015 redists and upto date .net's installed?
is there any updates available for your graphics card?
have you recently done any windows update? (if so reboot)

google vs2008 redist
2010 etc and install those
google .net and install those

do you use multiple monitors?

try making a shortcut directly to somawindow.exe in soma folder

"C:\Myth of Soma\SomaWindow.exe" 192.99.150.23

in compatability ensure reduced color mode is enabled. to 16 bit.

Do you play other games? Which ones and do they run ok?

Sounds like a very important question from your symptoms. Also what make/model of laptop/desktop do you have?

VS redist shouldn't be needed anymore the required files are included with the client patch.

Multiple monitor issue isn't noticable until in-game and after lots of text is drawn.

For Windows 8 and above reduced colour mode 16 bit has to be manually set in compatibility tab for SomaWindow.exe for windowed mode.

I don't know why you would be getting stuck on loading screen unless your character is bugged somehow. Edit: I have logged into RAGIN_FIRE without issue. There is a crash that can happen on loading screen but that would just cause the client to close not freeze and it doesn't happen that often (also will be fixed in a upcoming client patch).
