Zone entry stalling

Since the patch yesterday, whenever I try to move to some zones, it comes up with a Patching bar, which stalls.
Last night it was LoMM (the party has made it's way to Arcturia prior to me zoning in, a friend pinged me a tell, and it sounded, so it was not a crash), Icewind Dale (25+ minutes), and Avernus (unknown, gave up after 15 minutes, and found myself logged out).
Today, after using force verify, attempting to zone into Chult from Yawning Portal, I had enough time to prepare the mise en place for a Bolognese Sauce, and start sautéeing the ingredients before the Loading screen hit 50%, I drained off the Oil, prepped, seared, and set aside the Trout and Minced Beef.
Then started cooking down the Tomato Sauce.
The Loading screen was at 75%.
I eventually managed to zone into Chult 43 minutes after travelling there.
I don't have on-demand patching enabled. I had a 5Gb patch yesterday.
What's going on?

The problem started for me about two weeks ago. Usually when loading the Stronghold map, but it has occurred with several different areas. The 'patching ........" white message appears at the top right of the window and the entire process just stops. I didn't realize that I could prepare the evening meal or figure out how to configure stats on my character using fixed numbers to adjust a moving percentage during the time it would load. Perhaps this new feature is there just so we have the time to do so?
In any event, it happens all too frequently, if I kill the client and restart, I am able to load the new area without any problem at all (which means to me that the patching of the area is unnecessary for the task at hand.
