When I start my minecraft up, I receive a black screen for several minutes and go right to the menu. I do not get the Mojang splashscreen, but just receive the menu right away.

If I tap on the options or any other button the game will take its sweet time to load up and take me there, but not before it freezes for some time (30 seconds). This also happens when I go to the options while pausing the game.

Please fix this asap as it is really making me dislike the game. Thank you for your time and I hope this helps!
