That may be valid, but I cannot reproduce the extended loading times on standard.

This is an important clarification. I tested this on a standard league. I'm a noob and my gameplay is completely different, so I won't be reaching endgame anytime soon.

The files for both standard and mirage should be under the same folder right? So what would cause one league to have problems and not the other?

I think so. If you're an experienced user, you can monitor game activity using the free utilities Process Explorer and Process Monitor. Process Monitor creates a significant load on the system, do not forget to turn off monitoring.

I haven't made much progress in the current league yet. So I don't know how much the locations in the standard league differ from the new league. It looks like some kind of bug.

By the way, antivirus software can cause some problems. It intercepts all read requests and is the one that reads files first. This can also put additional load on the CPU.
Antivirus software often causes problems because it heuristically attempts to detect threats, and it often does so incorrectly. This is one of the reasons why it requires constant updates.

Been having the same issues, 20s for a two and longer than usual to come back to my own HO, i've kicked out most of the MTX/companions i left hanging around IDLE in my HO, the loading feels much better now, i've won like 7/8 seconds, but it obviously doesn't really help in towns where i have to download all of the other people's MTX no matter what.

Clearly, the more players in a town, the worse the download is, personnal opinion but i've been fiddling around with setting and MTX and there clearly is a notable difference.

Reporting back, after updating my GPU driver (GeForce), the load times are back to normal. Not sure if this was patched in or was my driver all along.

can confirm after updating gpu driver as well as switching hideout to one thats bare bones with no mtx and only the currently needed npcs (no navali, zana, etc). issue seems to be resolved for loading into hideout from town or from a map as well as loading into and out of mirages in maps.

Updating Geforce drivers also seems to have helped me a lot.

same issues

Same problem. Loading to town and other people hideouts takes a lot of time, sometimes minutes, and by the sound it seems to be loaded a long time ago, but the loading screen is still there. It was OK in 3.27.

Same problem for me.

Fixed yesterday with Nvidia Game driver (not the app) update.

Thank for all, this post helped me a lot !
