I just patched Season 2 on the live server and when I log in it is taking forever to loading. Is this normal because I have never had this problem before. I hope it doesn't do this every time I log in or it will get annoying.
Forever is too long. My rule of thumb is 30 seconds with no progress and I eXit the game and reload because it may be stuck.
I was home for lunch when servers came up and loaded three characters and did a couple map transfers and only had a problem loading once. It was a little slow as each character loaded the first time...processing all the character changes, etc.
Well, it was obvious everyone would try to log in right after the servers are back online, so I won't even try logging on before tomorrow's maintenance is over. There will for sure be one ... because the game is crashing as soon as entering a DSE in Gamma Orionis and there are hundreds if not thousands of players right now just trying to do that, so they won't have to rubberband in sector space.
I've been trying to load various maps for the last 45 minutes and keep getting disconnects or map crashing error messages. It's like game launch all over again, but with less people playing.
Also, getting either REALLY slow map loads or else Map Load errors. Zones seem to load fine, like Pi Canis Block, Sirius Block, etc. - once you get into System and even bases/land missions, they fail.
