    Load times to connect to Division servers drastically increased?

    Anyone else notice that in the past couple of days, it's taking considerably longer to connect to the game when you first start it up? I mean, just getting to the character select screen can take upwards of 5+ minutes.

    Hello,

    Indeed I have exactly the same problem see can be worse (I wait almost 5 to 7 min before the game launches intro and another 5 min to load the character selection)

    In addition to having big FPS fall when I group with other people 20 FPS ~ and solo 50 FPS ~ and that in all the missions of the game.

    It happens for me as well. And additional random ingame mini-freezes up to almost a second. No idea what they did, but it's really annoying.

    Yeah the launch time is like 3-5x longer to load the damn game now. They must've broke something with the last patch or two. Started within the past few days. I could literally get up, go refill my e-juice, take a piss, pour me a glass to drink in the kitchen, come back, and my game still hasn't even connected to the character select screen. So glad I got this NVME drive, bros. LOL

    Yes i have noticed it (I keep a white dwarf handy and have a bit of a read while it loading now).
    I've also noticed a dramatic fps drop (have the ubi overlay one in corner) when the game is loading, even when playing and your in a 'loading' section, the frames drop. Something has changed.

    yes, long time with nothing happening after EZAC splash comes on. then a long blackscreen, then loading into the menu, then loading into the game... and then you still have to load before leaving

    it's getting a bit ridiculous.

    last time i saw such bad loading times i was playing on a playstation 1.

    I am pretty sure the question should be "is there anyone who HASN'T seen a drastic load and connect time?" I don't think it is affecting just some. Started after the server maintenance the other day.
