Assets loading issues - FIXED
I've had some loading issues with textures and assets in general that makes the game borderline unplayable.

Teleporting to a town takes a long time, after arriving there it's missing 90% of the models. Takes like 5 minutes to fully load everything. If traveling fast by motorbike, I can arrive at a town, see all enemies moving in air, close to zero buildings. I can shoot everything and then wait 5 minutes for buildings to load and then move around collecting loot. (I can move and shoot "through walls" because they didn't load yet...).

I've seen more people complaining of the same, some with high-end PCs.

I have draw distance maxed and removed the FPS lock, all other settings either turned off or at the minimum. Even reduced the game to 1600x900. Can't lower anything else on the settings.

Yesterday I was fiddling with the settings one by one to see if I could improve things. And I did! It's now working properly with zero issues.
I'm now playing at 1080p, everything maxed, except for one thing... The FPS lock back to 30! This is the setting that was causing me issues. If I unlock the FPS it causes lots of issues. If I lock to 30 it works smooth as hell.
I also have antialising at middle because it makes stuff blurry when maxed out.

It may be a server issues and it was just a coincidence that changing FPS capping happened at same time the server issues vanished, but until I see the issues again, I'll assume this was the fix.

Hope I can help someone else that faces the same issue.

I put everything I found in the post, but:
If you didn't try, turn the Texture Quality to the max so that the game compiles them. it even says that it may take some time when you apply the setting. But, I doubt it'll fix the issue.

Some other generic fixes for performance in games:

Make sure your computer is using the GPU on the game. This can be done several ways (I always do all of them):
1. Desktop > right click > display settings > Graphic Settings (at the bottom) > find the game's .exe and set it to High Performance.
2. Desktop > right click > NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D settings (at left) > Program Settings (tab at top) > Choose the program and set to High-performance NVIDIA processor.

Something else you can try is giving a higher priority to the game's process in the Task Manager. I've fixed similar issues in other games by doing this.
Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) > find the process in the list (you may need to expand to see the process) > right click > go to details > right click > set priority > above normal or high.
This will only fix issues if your CPU is on the slow side.

A very last resort (should only apply to very old games), you can try disabling Hardware-acceleration. This will apply it system wide and needs a restart, so I don't really recommend it unless you can't play at all without turning it off.
Desktop > right click > display settings > Graphic Settings (at the bottom) > the very first option (Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling), turn it off and restart. If it doesn't work turn it back on as it can impact other stuff on the computer.

Hope you get it to work.
