After Double-Clicking on TD2 icon, anti-cheat would load and then after about 10 seconds the screen would go black and the game would start to load to main menu. Total Load time about 55 seconds.

After today's update 2.1, I Double-Click on TD2 icon, anti-cheat loads and then nothing for almost 20 seconds, then the screen goes black and starts to load, BUT then sits on the 'Connecting screen' for about 15 seconds. In total it now takes almost 2 minutes to load the game to menu.

My system is not fantastic, but is ok, (1440 monitor, i7 6700K, GTX 1660TI, 16Gb DDR4).

TL;DR...It now takes almost 120 seconds to load to main menu instead of about 60 seconds.

I noticed something similar for me today when loading up. Thanks for the feedback here, everyone, I'll be sure to make a note of this.
