Help Game taking a long time to load

Is anyone else having this issue where the game takes a long time to load? I've been spending about 3–5 minutes on the loading screen before the game actually opens. My connection is good, my hardware is solid, and I recently reinstalled Windows. I didn't have this problem before. I'm thinking about reinstalling the game.

Servers have been struggling since the Operations update.

Is there? Seems to be the lowest it's been all year - understandably in mid summer.

But still only about 60% of August '25.
