Long load screens post 3.18.1c Hotfix

How long to wait for fixes? If you can't fix everything quickly, rollback. We just want to play the game!

Sorry false flag guys. Back to watching the gears grind my time away.

I'm now just watching the shadercache, if I delete it, I load faster for awhile, but then the cache grows bigger and load times get longer. Could be circumstantial though.

Some other general observations:

Switching to a small hideout that had no decorations seemed to help get back to hideout faster.

Sarn encampment (act 8) load time was like 40+ seconds no matter what, loading into Bridge encampment (act 7) was usually only about 5-20 seconds so I switched to that town. Still trying out other towns to find the best load time.

The more stuff in the map, the more likely it is to grind the gears for a very long time. A typical tier 1 map loads in 5-20 secs, but tier 16 is 30-90 secs. Loading into the early levels in the acts I hardly notice any delay. Loading a unique map or maven's encounters takes about 10 secs. Maps with no influence or missions seem to load faster.

Dx12 and Vulcan don't help me, they seem to make load times longer if anything. Turning Sound on and off doesn't help.

GGG when are you going to address the multi-threading issue the hotfix introduced for amd users???????? There have been so many posts everyone with first gen ryzen is having the exact same issue and crashing every ten seconds. For the love of god at least acknowledge that you are aware of the problem.

For anyone who is having this problem, I have something you might want to try. My load times were insane after patch. Over 1 minute for a juiced map. I troubleshoot for days, nothing really helps, including deleting caches, updating video drivers, and today I totally reinstalled the game.

Just now on a whim, I turned off my item filter and what do you know, my load screens are much better. (Filter was from filterblade, downloaded it like 2 weeks ago I think.) This just now happened, I have only tested like 2 maps, but if you are as frustrated by this as I was, I can only hope this helps you, so I'm posting this right away in that hope, because it is very obvious the difference that I'm seeing in load times.

uh nope. thats not the problem item filter is not yet activated before and when loading the game. item filter is only activated while on the game. Plus i also tried turning off my filter and its still the same slow loading.

And this is only not the issue, a lot of performance issue after this patch. latency spike, my cpu is also working more than it used to.

and that is not the only problem, the first time you meet pack of monster game always lagging, i died alot because of this

Not only load screens but full second lag every time an altar spawns, influence mobs spawn, intervention spawns, randomly, start of map, atlas takes time to render, etc. Any news?
