As from today 8 Dec 21, It’s taking 20+ minutes. I’ve killed it and restarted. Rebooted the PC.
Checking for updates takes 9minutes (2ms ping and 180Mb/s download line speed).
Then loading takes forever. It gets stuck with the little progress bar all the way over, no more black - but seems to be a small piece of dark blue. Like it’s done but not fully done… It’s ridiculous. So frustrating how unstable and full of issues the game seems to be. I’m so disappointed. At the moment my game is not playable.
