Very High Loadtimes And Random Lockups

[NeoCrimson]

I've been getting 5+ minute load times ever since update 17, including hanging on the load screen at 100% full for at least a minute while hearing gameplay noises in the background. Loading times seem proportional to group size as my load times are fine while soloing.

 

Additionally, the game also locks up for about 30 seconds when I try to enter the starmap or the options menu. The former doesn't seem to happen when I set myself to solo.

 

As far as I can see the recent update has not fixed any of these issues.

Didn't notice the unparking cpu thread. Will try that and report if that helped.

No, that didn't seem to help much.

Have you verified and optimized your download cache from the launcher? If this started immediately after Update 17, some corrupted files may be responsible.

I tried both of these and they don't seem to help. Also, I can confirm the loading issues only happen if I am in a group WHILE going into the mission. Starting a mission solo and people coming in after the fact works fine.

 

I also get massive framedrops if I play for too long but that's probably my PC's fault.

I'm having framedrops and increased loadtimes regardless of single/multiplayer. This also started after U17. Unpacking cores and verifying caches have done nothing. No other games have suffered in the same manner. I play on an old laptop, but I didn't notice any big graphics/display update rolling out with U17? I noticed AA was on high in the options menu (I had everything on low), but turning it off had little effect.
