Original Post — Direct link

I got the game for PC a few days ago and made sure to install it on my NVMe SSD specifically to make loading times as short as possible, and yet I'm having insane loading times when launching the game, every time. Booting up the game for the first time takes like 5 minutes or more, and the "checking for add-ons" screen another 30 seconds or a whole minute.
I already followed through the troubleshooting guide and made sure everything was updated and no other background programs were running that could affect the game's launch. I've checked this forum and reddit and this problem seems to be going on, at least, since the Siege of Paris patch.
Could someone please help me solve this? Is it a hardware issue or a software issue?
My PC specs are:
AMD Ryzen 3600
16GB DDR4 3200Mhz Corsair RAM
GTX Gigabyte 970
Game installed on a WD 500GB NVMe SSD

Hey there, @brakjart . I'm so sorry to hear that you're experiencing some long loading times when it comes to launching the game! Since you mention having already completed our most basic troubleshooting steps, the next step is getting a look at your MsInfo and DxDiag files. Since those aren't able to be submitted here on Discussions, I recommend submitting those via a ticket on our support site instead! Thank you so much for your understanding.
