Yes, but now it's in the realm of ~3 minutes, and not ~8 minutes even on a top-spec PC, right? I really liked the game, but waiting 8 minutes to load just to get griefed by hackers within seconds of walking outside... I don't understand how that game makes any money.

IMO it varies widely. This past weekend it was taking me multiple attempts to get logged in to a public lobby— after waiting ~5-10 minutes!

Nothing has changed appreciably. If they would let you login to a private invite-only lobby that would likely speed things up greatly— but it’ll never happen.

It was like crack. People put up with a lot of problems and bugs just because it was really fun just enough of the time to get them hooked.
