Long loading times killed my joy.
I just can't get myself to enjoy this anymore. Aside from the grind, in-game microtransaction store and ridiculous challenge achievements that promote rogue behavior in teamwork the worse culprit for me is these loading times Are they not frustrating?! I mean I would sit sometimes in loading screens forever trying to start the game to get to the morningstar lobby and then wait again in the mission map screen for the right map I need for difficulty/obj/challenges then join a party or load into a map and have to wait for the deployment load to end as well. Then after to win or die you have to go through a whole lot of loading again. After doing this a dozen times I cannot even work up the energy to launch it anymore.

Hope these loadings get fixed.

The load times were punitive until I switched the install towards the SSD and it's better. Still long but it's serviceable now. Would be nice if they could cut down on load times by another 20-30%.

Its not that slow and yes have it ona SSD and does move a bit faster with loading but still does not excuse the absurd amount of time you still will spend loading and waiting on map screen compared to getting into an actual skirmish.

i have never waited for more then a 2 mins not counting when someone crashes

if 4 mins of waiting is not worth 30 mins of none stop action, is it for you......

Nah guess just been spoiled with games like GTFO, COD, Back4Blood, Left4Dead2, KF2, Vermintide 2 and Payday 2 where the loading is almost non-existent or almost instant and get to play and not wait 2 to 5 to 10+ minutes for one decent match then wait another couple minutes or more to go back to lobby.

My loading times are between 30 and 55 secs. An SSD is of no use if your teammates have a slower loading time. I think it simply depends on the weakest link in the chain.

Still compared to other games older than this including Vermintide 2 these loading connections are atrocious.

I had long loading times on my 7200 RPM HDD. Then I got a third generation NVMe and wondered how the Hell I managed to get by for so long without one.

My load times vary, but are usually 20-30 seconds. If the load time takes more than 1 minute I alt+f4. Then relaunch the game since it only takes me about 80 seconds to get back into the game searching for another match.

Yes I am on a gen 4 NVME drive and yes even those load times are super long considering most games load in less than 5 seconds.

Still could learn by example since it's literally the follow up title to it! Gives no excuse to make the community be forced on such horrible loading times until years later its fixed AGAIN. Nobody wants that.
