Bug #6519

Unusually Long Load Times Compared to Teammates

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	oscujic on May 23, '26

Reported for:	RC:EA:00.07.12

Steps to Reproduce

1. Get to a mission stage loading screen by starting a new mission or completing a previous stage

Explanation

It consistently takes significantly longer for stages to load for me compared to my teammates.

As client:
Depending on the lobby, it takes on average 2 to 4 times as long for me to load compared to the next slowest person, with extreme cases of 5-10x leading to waits of a full minute or more.

Sometimes, loading will stop completely for a significant amount of time, with CPU usage ramped up to 100%, before continuing to progress.

This is so consistent that in over 180 hours of gameplay across both the alpha and release I have never not been the last person to load.

I also load slowly on the original DRG, but nowhere near this.

All this occurs on a good connection (<100ms ping).

As host:
In intervals, the loading bar will push ahead a small amount for me, after which the rest of the teams' bars will all push ahead together to a position slightly ahead of mine.
