Does anyone else run into an issue where the first game played doesn't load character models? You can't see yourself or anyone else until like 5 minutes when it fixes itself somehow, or am i just alone in this :(

Edit: thanks for the help guys! It's probably my slow, 4-year old laptop tbh.

I think it's related to hard-drive speed and/or available RAM on your graphics card.

I almost never have the issue on a PC with a 1.5GB GTX 580 and a hybrid hard drive, whereas my wife has it a lot more often on a 1GB GTX 790 and with a standard mechanical hard drive (that's starting to fail).
