    Long load times

    Anyone having issues launching the game? If i open uplay and click play i can be waiting 8-9 mins before the game launches.
    PC is decent spec and game is installed on an NVME

    Happens a lot to me. Loading the game up and even fast traveling takes a while. Can't wait for the Series X and that SSD to speed load times dramatically.

    Assuming it's on your end and not the server hamsters.

    I've had long load times on PC (on occasion) where the game is just idling (waiting) and not actually loading something (disk activity) or processing (cpu activity).

    Also, there were issues with their servers yesterday evening, could be the same again now.

    On XB, yes. But I don't have an external drive. PC with an SSD, no problem at all.

    I occasionally see the game in Windows Task Manager apparently doing nothing shortly after launching, not consuming much CPU or disk resources.

    I just kill it with Task Manager and relaunch it and second time round it works fine and loads quickly.

    It's quite a bit to be honest. Xbox for me but even my friends suffer long load times as well.

    Ditto, just on PS5, i just walk away whenever i go from DC to NY, Won't be a port I've read but here's to backwards compatibility.

    No issues here, everything loads within seconds. @OP 'decent' specs, doesn't tell us much and if your SSD is old one that could reflect on the loading times, just like a bunch of other things. So it will be a guessing game, unless you feel like sharing a bit more info first.

    As the others stated, having your game on a SSD can definitely help with load times. Clearing the Uplay cache before launching can also help!
