5 min waiting to enter town... loading screen takes too long

5 min waiting to enter town... loading screen takes too long ...
dont knwo what happened ... but this event is very bugged..
i played the zizaran one .. the gauntlet and i had no problems changing zones...
i have 2-3h at least standing between zones so far... tried vulkan instead of dx12 ... the same.. changed the server the same... dont knwow what this comes from

I'm experiencing the same.

Not happening every single time, but most (~85%+) loads take exceptionally long. Using Vulkan and AMD Adrenalin 26.1.1.

Edit (21:13 01/30/26): After playing today I'd lower that estimate to maybe 60% of loads to take unexpectedly long. Load times did seem shorter today as well; no data though. Shader bar on the in-game debug tool shows work during these load screens, so maybe getting better over time.

Yeah the game is now unplayable, I'm not waiting 5 mins for every load screen. It's insane that a game this old is this poorly optimized. Won't spend another dime until I can actually play the game.

Amazing tech support.., the times are actually getting worse every day.
