extreme loading delays

The game starts just fine. once I select a character I get the rotating gears FOREVER!!!!! After the usual map loading time the game loads in the background, I can here players moving and grunting but never get past the gears.

I have tried Vulkan and DX11/12 and multithreading settings per some of the googled results. The game ran fine during previous builds 0.1

My system is dated but should be more than enough to run this BS game.
