Long load times

that's what fixed my issue with loading screen, it was taking 5mins to enter high gate. i did all the tutorials on internet, such as cleaning cache, mygames, setting a partition and linking cache to it.

None of it solved here, but it was just to add it to the custom list that my game was fixed.

i am 15 mins in and still loading on oriath docks jesus. and i've tried all the help in the thread not of it helps.

yup I have it, too. definitely related to shaders for me, since they're loading a few minutes everytime I change location, even if I come back to the same instance.
And GGG hasn't even acknowledged this specific problem in their Known Issues, after 17 pages in this post...

5080, 7800x3d - big problems with loading towns, especially. Maps and hideouts load more or less fine, but towns are a real pain. They take 30-40 seconds to load. This didn't happen before 3.27. What a heck???
