Is it Just Me but Loading Tmes Seem to Have Doubled in Some Cases

Treemagnet · September 2021

I notice it most when I do a character load.

This is NOT after a patch or maintenance as I expect the the times to be longer in that case. Just everyday login.

I am on PC/NA.

No they are way less since Waking Flame for me.

From hitting "log in" to character select is 2-3 seconds now, used to be 30. Selecting character to in game control of character is also faster for me.

The multithreaded rendering supposedly does stuff during load screen to make stuff faster.

Games performances for me is random.

As for me, problem is at quitting!
Like before patch, I get the usual 9 seconds (or not on good days, but that's rare), and after that, a black window lasting for quite a while before it really closes. Never had that black window before patch.

Edited for add. info: have multi cores

If you enable that new multithread rendering option but your computer doesn't have multi cores, it will make your load screens long and will add load screens when you open doors and stuff. So that might be it.
