Well, looks like the new patch has tossed us all back to the original "Load Time" bug. Anyone else having one hell of a time loading into the game to have it just crash??
It's more likely that the load times are because the servers are being slammed by people trying to get into the game and play it. So you're probably sitting in a queue behind several hundred other people who are waiting to get in. That would be my guess anyway.
The same here on PS4. The game is loading for five minutes now. It's either a crash or the longest waiting time I've ever had. Just wanted to restart the zoo mission. I hope this will not persist for long.
If it was a queue it would show that there are X players in front of you no? That's how it was when there was an actual queue. Also After clicking the play button in Uplay it takes a long while for the game to start up.. and it's on an SSD too.
