login in takes too long?

craybest · March 2016

Whenever I enter the game, it usually takes a LONG time till I can actually play it, even getting to character creation can take up to 4-5 mins or more, and then after that another 3-5 mins.
Is this normal? or is it some kind of problem on my end? I have never played a MMO that takes so long to load everything (once inside the game, everything runs just fine though)

I often have this happen the first time I log in after a patch, but not otherwise. Are you seeing this pretty much all the time? Are you PC or one of the consoles?

everytime I play. sometimes it's a bit less but still a long while. I'm on PC btw...
ok at least now I know it's probably something on my end though.

It takes longer than your average MMO anyway but it doesn't take me longer than 1 minute to open the game and get logged in so yeah it's probably is a problem your end.

Also I found this:

I can't vouch for that but it seemed to work for them, maybe there's a cache delete option in the launcher settings.

My experience has been exactly like UrQuan's. I'm on PC as well.
