Why have I not received my refund, was there a problem not caught when filing?

It was filled back in the very beginning of February, direct deposit was set up, received the state refund almost immediately, but nothing from the rest.

When your return is e-filed it only goes through a cursory check. then if there are no reasons to reject the return outright it goes to processing where issues can be found. if the IRS refund site doesn't provide more info, then the only option is to contact the IRS which may require multiple attempts.  if the IRS needed more info, you should have received a notice or letter by now spelling out what it needs, or maybe it's a proposed adjustment that you would have to agree to or provide info to rebut the IRS adjustments
