Is it me, or is does it take an unusual long time to load the game?

I'm talking about from logging in, to the character selection phase.

    Is this the first log in since the patch? If so, it can take while for the game to first intialize. After that, it should be fairly quick, unless you have a lot of background apps running, in particular ones that Stream.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    First one after patch, literally waited 1-2 mins before closing window.
    My internet isn't the super crazy best, but other games I know I login load screen takes less than 15 seconds bam done. This game I feel like that load screen from logging in to the character select takes unusual long time.

    Makes me feel like I'm in an Everquest loading screen back in the days. It's just with all this new technology, figure loading screens be faster and all.

    Just wondering if others feel that its too long or not. I feel its too long myself.

    Also, does the music, does it get a lil choppy during that time too? I'm hearing the music than all sudden it stops for a brief second and then resumes.

    Heh. First one after patch takes 10-13min to get to the character selection screen for me. :# My internet and computer are really sucky though. And yes, the music gets kinda choppy.

    Its a routine...Open the game after a patch. Wait 1 minute. Alt F4. Reload the game and it goes right in. This has happened on every patch since 5.
    I'm kind of a small deal!

    It has nothing to do with your Internet. The game is compiling and registering files after a patch. One to two minutes is normal. In fact, I am not sure exactly how long it takes as I launch the game on patch days, go fix a beverage or have a smoke and then the game is up. I am not going to sit there and watch paint dry as I know the first log in takes a while.

    This can work if you close the window after the game has chewed on it's files. But if you do this too soon, your still going to wait.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Does anyone else get this when they click play? I've put a ticket in for it, but no update from ZOS.

    Since I quit smoking a couple years ago, I now prepare two beverages... Two double Scotches make me very mellow when playing, so I don't mind the bugs.
