Is it taking anyone else's game several minutes to launch ever since the Castlevania chap release?

It takes my game anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes to launch ever since the Castlevania chapter released. I submitted a ticket for it but I am curious if anyone else is experiencing the same issue

    The shaders do take longer to compile at launch, but no serious issue.

    Not that much to launch, but when it reaches the intro screen and I press any key, it actually takes quite longer than usual to load past that and actually get to the main menu.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled my game and now I have no longer any long launch issues or fps drops during a match. Maybe if you uninstall and reinstall your game too, it will solve your issue

    I'm struggling with my gaming machine running hotter than normal and lagging sometimes this patch, just sitting in the lobby. I haven't played any matches yet since Dracula dropped because I'm waiting for some bug fixes, and also for the sweat and hype of the new chapter to die down. But this is really intense and crazy; I'm concerned this could be a new trend. I've heard some have had graphical issues too.

    Thank you all for your responses. It's very inconsistent for me. Sometimes it all takes forever (notably the shaders portion like someone mentioned) and sometimes it launches fine. The lobby is always laggy and unresponsive for the first minute or two though.
