[PlayStation] 3.28.0 Hotfix 12

Is there any update on a fix for the extremely long load times and invisible assets?

PS5 client on PS5

This started happening around March 8 at 2AM UTC (March 7 10PM EST my timezone). Nothing changed on my end. Didn't even restart the game. I just resumed playing from earlier and all of a sudden zones were taking minutes to load, or didn't even load at all. I can start the game, load town once, load hideout once. Maybe load a map once. Then after that, every zone transition is at least a minute and usually not multiple. When it finally loads, lots of effects and enemies are invisible. I did notice that the invisible objects eventually appear if you give it enough time. Almost like the servers are throttling my connection.

Actual gameplay is totally fine. Once the zone loads, I can blast dense maps with minimal latency. It's only loading screens that are affected.

I tried clearing cache, rebuilding database, full reinstall. Nothing has fixed it.

No one else in PS chat seems to be experiencing this (or maybe they are and just stopped playing), but many Xbox players are based on forum posts.

Day 1 was working fine. No loading issues. It didn't start until the evening of Day 2

Huge bump. Having the same problem here on PS5 Pro. I've had to restart the game upwards of 30 times today. I can play 1 map, maybe 2, before getting stuck in an infinite load screen. Tried all the same things as you, as well as removing cosmetics, changing servers, nothing. I seem to have more luck loading and returning from maps in Karui Shore but it still happens eventually regardless.
