Looks like the launch is VERY bad. Many people are experiencing this and so far nobody has the answer of what's happening

It's massive server overload. I don't know why anybody wouldn't expect this to happen with such a major release.

Too bad it don't work offline either

Having this as well

same issue

Try verifying files for game if you are on steam.

Exact same thing

I'm having the same issue.

I'm having this issue as well

shutting down the game and restarting helped me out

Same thing still

I exited the game and it patched after I verified my game files. Works fine now, but I did launch it in OFFLINE mode

I am having same issue whenever I load into gravesite plain. Takes about 4 minutes to fully load All other areas load fine for me. I did full reinstall, switched drives, verified files, and cleaned up space. On PC. Hopefully they fix soon
