So, ps4 load times won’t be fixed? Shouldn’t it be just as easy? PC users could have fixed it themselves just by following simple instructions. Those of us on consoles don’t have that option. This stinks.
Have you taken the time to check your loading times prior and post update? It’s going to remain the same. The loading times was never an issue on consoles. The update on console has corrected some network issues but the loading times issue was a pc issue and therefor is a pc fix. Console update is other fixes on network side.
XBOX ONE X – After the update i was not able to load into the game, crashed around the popup about the skull immersive mask advert. Did a Hard reset to clear console cash. started game again, was able to load in to my arcade. walked around a bit, got to my safe, as soon as i clicked on action to open safe, network connection lost. Left it for 2 hours, tried again and seems to be working fine now.
Please note the loading times issue was never a console issue, if you are on console don’t expect faster loading times but rather expect improved network stability.
Will check if the “Test Nat Type” trick still works later but some reports indicate that this no longer works after the update.
