Long load times

Made another thread earlier complaining about this, the patch before this current one was great. Load times were fixed, lag was fixed, everything a-ok. Now back to as bad or worse than it was last time this happened. Missed lots of trades, just don't even feel like playing right now with how long the loads take.
win7 64bit
amd phenom x6 2.8ghz
16gb ram
geforce rtx 3050
SSD

loading into town takes about 2-3 mins, 1 min minimum for each loading screen, even to my own, tried vulkan, dx11, i dont have the option for dx12, dx11 is unplayable, so i have to use vulkan. I tried all the fixes, deleted cache and let the game redownload everything, nothing fixes it. this new patch made it worst somehow, almost doubling my load times into my own hideout from a map

Same issue here. Loading times have been worse for me this league than before, but at least somewhat tolerable. But since patch 3.22.2, it's become completely unplayable. Loading times are 30+ seconds more often than not, even into areas that were just loaded, and ground tiles constantly need to be reloaded, be it in undiscovered areas in a map, my own hideout or especially harvest areas.
Something in that update specifically seems to have negatively affected lots of players while also positively affecting others; maybe this is hardware-dependent (intel/amd)?

As it stands, I won't play the game until this is somehow resolved; I'm trying to buy some tattoos and loading into halls of the dead takes 40-50 seconds EVERY time to the point other players have messaged me wondering about it and I feel bad doing anything.

Specs:
Windows 11 64-bit
Intel i5-7600K 3.8Ghz
Geforce GTX 1060 6GB
24GB RAM
Same, tried everything I could without luck... WTF

I am experiencing this identical issue as well since the recent patch.

Windows 11 Home - 22H2
Intel i7-9700K
32 GB Ram @ 2666 MHz
NVMe Toshiba 512GB SSD
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080
Here i come back to PoE, being done with the Diablo IV Season and i get greeted by 1-2 min loading screens.
I am sorry but with these conditions, i will look for other viable games and spend my money there.
Please resolve these loading time issues. It has made this leaguestart worse and now it is back ...


Using Vulkan Renderer and mostly minimal settings.

Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit
Intel i7-4770K 3.5 GHz
32 GB Ram DDR3
Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Holy!!! Your rig is expensive AF, and you're still getting long load times too? I feel somewhat better now.
My observation was, that for public instances like towns (2-3 mins), the loading times are about 2x to 3x than e.g. loading into my Hideout (40s - 1min). Does this hold true for you guys aswell?

Yeah, because it's loading everyone's MTX and killing performance. But with the latest patch everything is slower to load, even maps and contracts and blueprints when previously those were quick to load when towns/hideouts were slow.

GGG ninja updated their minimum system requirements and Windows 7 is no longer supported. Not that using Windows 10+ is going to help this situation, though.

Yeah, I upgraded to win 10 just for that, over the weekend, I get like 10 secs less for load times but its still taking 1-2 minutes for towns and 20secs - 1 minute for hideout
