    Dunno, it was the same for me. In addition I had to start it twice, because the first try sent me to some FAQ for hackshield in korean

    Has to do with windows defender.

    Open windows defender, set exception to the game directory (or rather add to the exceptions).

    Delete anything in profiles/temp.

     

    This fixed it for me and many others and it used to take nearly 20+ minutes to load the game.

    Poster above me is correct>: it is due to hack shield. Antiquated software that does nothing really.

    This is what I did when I used to play, it would take minutes for me as well. How annoying it would be to wait 10 minutes for it to oad to then way more for queue times image

    I was getting an error code, then the infinite back splash. I had to dl an older version of direct X.

    Windows Defender "Real Time Protection" is the most common cause of this problem.

    I really hope that *insert game name here* will be the first game to ever live up to all of its pre-release promises, maintain a manageable hype level and have a clean release. Just don't expect me to hold my breath.

    Solid State Drive will help those loading speeds.

    Not quite. I had the same issue. It was Windows Defender. It was filling my SSD in matter of seconds and emptying it for whatever reason. The anti-cheat system really made my PC go bananas. Adding the game and the anti cheat as exceptions corrected the problem for me, among other things.
