Hi there,
Sorry the delayed respond. These are my PC Specs:

Windows 8 Pro
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M460 @ 2.53GHz with Turbo Boost Technology up to 2.80GHz
RAM memory: 4.00 (3.86GB usable)
System Type: 64-bit OS

Video Card:
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5470 Graphics
Memory Type DDR3 - 1Gb (1024Mb)

And the Please Wait... message, is the one that appears when the level starts loading when clicking new game, not the one when the engine is loading.

I hope this may help you.
