Technical Support (Path of Exile 1) - Game loading long time issue - Forum

I'm experiencing long game loading times before even getting past the first ggg logo screen. Before the game even starts. Has anyone else experienced this? I have an i5.13400, a gtx 3080, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB hard drive—defragmented. New drivers. So it shouldn't be a hardware issue. After that everything seems normal. Its like only lunching game has this issue.
