Some people have issues with loading screens when running the game using very high settings when the game hasn't finished pre-compiling shader-cache. Try seeing if the problem still persists when changing or lowering ur graphics settings (especially ray-tracing).

Was this an issue you had from the beginning? I don't know what you tried already. So you'll have to go through the basic stuff like:

- Re-install and verify before hitting play.
- Updating your gpu driver.
- Lowering all graphical settings to low and try lower resolutions if you are on 4k and higher.
- Check for any overclock on your gpu/cpu and revert to default or underclock.

Also: you should let the game pre-compile ALL shaders before playing. So make sure that when you hit that first loading screen from the main menu, it shows the numbers in the right lower corner reach 100% before playing the game. If it doesnt and it loads you into Albion before 100%, leave the game and load the game again until it builds all of it.

What could happen if your PSU can't cope with the load is:

Bad 3D performance
Crashing games
Spontaneous reset or imminent shutdown of the PC
Freezing during gameplay
PSU overload can cause it to break down

nope, never had any issues since launch. just from this morning,

alright I'll look in to the pre compile stuffs. I never payed attention to it as the game loads way to quick, but I'll check that next time. thanks

I have the Corsair HX1200 Platinum. so having enough power isn't issue.

I had this when I updated the NVidia driver, the game did not start, went to "Not responding" in Task Manger. Had to use "End task" on it. It worked after though, it just rebuilt all the shaders again.

I have a 4090 aswell tho I have to play with no ray tracing,
what I did was
uninstall from ssd, reinstalled in a different hdd, saw the problem didn't go away, then re installed again in ssd, then updated the nvidia driver to latest and optimized the game and launched the game from nvidia panel, then on the starting menu I disabled ray tracing and launched again for the first time.
after that I haven't faced any issues yet, settings are ultra (auto selected) with just motion blur turned off

i have amd. had it installed on ssd. never used ray tracing. game never stutters or fps drops. my guess is this a server issue and when you change area it disconnects and you just stay stuck on loading screen.
