Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Anyone else have constant freezes their first game because the game is still loading everything in?

Very annoying how the game doesn't pre-load all of this… unless it's just me?

    Nope, it's not just you. I have the same issue whenever I play on PC. First game always has a few moments where the game freezes (in the first couple of minutes) and then everything runs just fine. It's weird and I have no idea what might be causing it or if it even counts as a bug, but it is a little bit annoying.

    The game in general takes a lot longer to boot up from the desktop than it used to as well. I wonder if they know about this and they're still ironing out a few lingering bugs from the move to Unreal 5.

    I've been having this issue as well, but only recently. I guess something changed recently in the back end to cause that kind of thing?

    Whatever the cause, it is annoying. Hopefully it can be addressed soon.
