Unable to start 2.0 b285, game hangs on initial load

When I start the game up from Steam, I get the initial splash screen, and it just sits there with the moving ellipses after Loading Block Textures . I bring up the console, and this is what it hangs at.

It'll wait 600 seconds, and then repeat these messages. I let it run for 30 minutes, but after the third repeat, I closed the game. I even told steam to verify all the files, and I still get the same result.

If I need to post any more info aside from the logs and dxdiag, please let me know.

Thank you for reporting and providing logs. From the logs I see you have a lot of mods from V1.x. Please remove all mods, verify files through steam, and try again.
