Hey all,
I've noticed, since the One Tamriel update, that NPCs are taking quite a long time to load in populated areas. This is probably normal, but I just wanted to check to see if anyone else is noticing the same thing.
In Mournhold, or Rawl'Kah for example--all player characters load in at a normal rate (being all black at first). But NPCs can take like 30 seconds to a full minute. They are physically there as collision detection does kick in, but I can't see or interact with them. 30-60 seconds isn't horribly long, but it feels that way sometimes. Like if you port in to Mournhold and run up to the blacksmith to sell items, it's pretty awkward just sitting there waiting before you can do anything.
Are NPCs supposed to take this long to load in?
