Extended Hideout/Town load screens since the release of 3.28

Bump.

Standard is fine for me on load times, but the new Mirage League takes so long to load any zone/hideout/town/map that I stopped doing all of the portal hopping during Acts because it was faster to run around the already loaded zone...

I am also experiencing these same issues with load screens anywhere between 3-8 minutes on average to load into any town instance and sometimes to load into my hideout. I am also experiencing this same issue when loading in and out of mirage instances in my maps.

same for me on xbox i cant even play basically and im not trying to just stare at the screen for 10 minutes ggg please fix.

also having the problem, sometimes it takes 2-5 seconds and other times i just have to alt f4 out of the loading screen after 5-10 minutes, happens in 3 servers i tested

I have the same issue. 2-3 minutes loading times randomly.

Only interesting thing I noticed is I feel like the character already loaded, I can hear the background sounds and whispers ding but the screen stuck on the loading animation.
Sometimes only alt+F4 works.

Edit: also checking on process monitor the loading (disk usage) is done after 5-10second but the client still hangs on the loading screen.

Same issue here. I've followed all the recommendations posted in the thread but nothing has improved the long loading screens. I can also confirm that this is a mirage-specific issue. Haven't had this issue with other leagues / standard. NVIDIA GeForceGTX 1660 Ti

Update: I don't know if it was a patch, or cleaning out all my driver caches, but the issue seems to be much improved.

On the server side I load into the game instantly but on client side it still loading. When I join a friends map they can see me and confirm I’m in the map, healthbar present and kill the map boss. (I’m still at the loading screen) so I close the game and restart and I confirm I got the map completion credit.

I literally had to change my hideout to battle scarred and have my last location as act 2 just to load in! Also had to keep on server hopping to less crowded server like, Australia, San Pablo and Moscow lol. I’m almost about to just give up.


Long load times, forget even doing league mechanic as most assets are invisible and not loading. So when O can get into a map, I just kill the boss and reload the client because I can only do one map at a time! Before infinite load screen takes 5mins+

Xbox console BTW series X

Having the same problems (PC). Long load times of 30 seconds to 1.5 minutes. CPU, Memory and system power use up significantly. Disconnects. Have never had these problems with any previous seasons.

Try blocking Breach. It might be a placebo, but I think loading times have decreased. However, it's also possible that fewer shaders are loaded when the map starts, and Breach has nothing to do with it.
