these excessive area loading times really need a fix

They are killing the momentum of the game. Loading times going from area to area, and especially towns, are at least 3x longer than any other league I think I've ever played.

Did you update your graphic card drivers?

I had the same issue, updated and it's now like it used to be - fast.

Hope it helps!
I'm pretty sure it has to do with server load. the servers have to send
your client the details of the area you are about to enter before you enter it.

with tens of thousands of request for that information per minute the servers
are lagged. if your on useast at 3 am the area load times are great.
but during prime time.... its taken an actual minute for me to load my own
hideout after dieing in a map. the assets are still in ram. why the delay?
its gotta be network loads.

last league started laggy as hell but so many people quit loadtimes got better.

yea I updated my drivers back whenever that happened and it didn't have an effect.
league retention did., or the lack thereof.

I will take one for the team and not login to this lazy trash league.
your welcome for the server resources I yield.
