Extremely Long Load Times on Start

[joint genie]

I've already learned news on how Respawn is trying to fix issues related to load times but the issue mentioned there seems much more serious since I've heard such issues like "people being locked out of their accounts" and that they've been even getting compensation in rewards or whatever but will there be a fix for the more common load time issue as well?

Me and most other people I know who play this game need to wait around a minute or two just to load into the main lobby, and sometimes I even get stuck at the starting page before the continue button even shows up, having to alt+f4 out of the game to retry.

Most of the time it's just this pattern:
1. start page takes longer than usual to show the continue button
2. I click on the button and get stuck on the black loading screen for at least a minute
3. I get a code: net error
4. I click on continue again and get in a lobby
5. everything in the lobby lags for the next 10-15 seconds

it's a serverside issue meaning the devs need to fix it, happens to certain people only. yet devs don't seem to care, they just fixed it for the people who have it severe enough to be locked out of their accounts and then completely forgot about the rest.

what percentage of the playerbase does this affect?
