The xbox load times are game breakingly bad

  • I am posting this about 3-4 minutes into a black screen load time post mermaid.

    As much of an advantage PC players have with the aiming and whatnot, their biggest advantage is load times. Faster respawn off the ferry and from mermaids.

    My crew is rolling up on a skull fort as I type this and I am helpless. I'd like to know if this is a hardware limitation and can never be fixed or if its on the agenda. Because this is frustrating as hell.

    That's unusual. I've seen it MUCH less on both X-Box and PC. Do you have a video or copy of a live-stream while you played when you encountered this?

  • It seems that sometimes entering the black screen right after your ship sinks will cause a massive wait time, as if the game gets stuck determining where and what to load.
    OP may have experienced this.

  • @gloog I just cannoned off to an island to grab resources.

    I've had this happen before to. I don't know what causes it.

  • @tawpgun This is not an Xbox vs PC issue. We get the same problem. We are also not all running super computers, so your comments are close minded and entirely incorrect.
    I have quit the game and relaunched in the past when experiencing this issue.

  • While I personally haven’t experienced this, I have played with people who have. I would consider this a bug/glitch more than anything else, I don’t believe it has anything to do with being on Xbox or pc.

  • I'm pretty sure this is server/game related rather than platform related. I play PC and get those extremely long load times all the time. Most of time it's around 20 seconds, rarely I load almost instantly but many times it could take minutes if ever (I quit and get a re-invite).

  • @tawpgun whats your internet connection?
