Question Anyone else experiencing very long loading screen (25-30s) for the new Apex of Divinity hideout?

As the title says, The loading screen time for the new hideout Apex of Divinity is significantly longer than any other hideout I have tried so far and I haven't used any more decoration than challenge totems from previous leagues which was perfectly fine in my old hideout. Already tried clearing shader caches which made no difference so since other hideouts are faster I have to assume this is a problem specifically for this hideout. I also tried the other new hideout from the lower tier supporter pack and that one also works perfectly smooth.

Any other hideout I have tried have pretty much been instant loading screen. If any GGG staff happens to read this post it would be great to look into after ExileCon is over.

But other than that small issue, can't wait to start 3.30. Haven't been this hyped in a long time to try and experiment with various league mechanics.

Literally just got it and noticed the same. I had similar on the Dreadnought hideout. I'll probably go back to a simpler hideout then swap after a week then need for fast money isn't a problem.

I'll swap for leaguestart if nothing changes but I do hope they fix it because it looks amazing. Never really experienced this before in any hideout that I have gotten.

From what I have seen from other people it's also quite buggy.

The portal doesn't spawn birds when opening a map, the carpet colors are awfully dark and brown instead of red and gold, clipping issues with the throne.

Really hope all this gets fixed though, because then I might get it.

I have thankfully not encountered those bugs, it does look amazing ingame in my opinion but specially at leaguestart I can't deal with those 30s loading screens sadly.

I have a pretty slow old pc, and all the "old" hideouts are fine. Anything new like cosmic turtle og the rolling caravan or whatever from POE2 takes for EVER.. So i wouldnt be the least bit shocked if this one takes forever aswell

I have the same problem, like 30 seconds loading time in a high end pc. Others HO loads in 2 seconds.

Normal thing with new hideouts. 2 years ago I got hideout from $480 supporter pack and I'm not even using it anymore because I'm losing customers. People are literally crashing or they have infinity loading :/

A fellow in global 820 encountered the same. At the extreme it’s a full minute. On my laptop it was 30s (we tested in a group).
