Not sure what got changed during the update but it now takes forever for me to load into a game to the point where sometimes everyone else on my team has already picked their characters before I can even see the character select menu. While it’s not stopping me playing the game, it’s a massive hindrance to me picking my character as DPS or Support as there’s now an even bigger chance the other DPS/Support player could take my preffered character before I even load in.
This is on the PS5 on both the PS4 & PS5 versions of the game (tested both to be sure). This has never happened to me before in the 6 years I’ve been playing OW, it is only since the latest update that it’s started happening.
Anyone else on any other platform been experiencing this?
Might just be an issue that came with the update and strained servers. Give it a few days and it might sort itself out as it was a huge update.
Still happening & I’ve been asking in game chat if any other players are affected and it turns out yes they are.
The following so far have all said they are having the same problem:
PS5 players on the PS4 version of the game.
PS5 players on the PS5 version of the game.
Xbox players although I’m not sure which Xbox series they were on as they didn’t volunteer it.
None of these horrifcly slow loading screens happened before the update so it’s definitely something they’ve done or changed in it.
To go from being one of the first to load in (thanks to the speed of the PS5) to being one of the last to load in to the point my entire team have already picked their characters when nothing has changed my end is ridiculous.
