Extremely long loading times + more issues since Fire Birds update

Ever since the Fire Birds update, occasionally I’ve been experiencing HUGE loading times, only at the end of a Match loading back into the Hangar. To the point it is way quicker to just close the game with task manger (Alt+F4 or right clicking close in Task Bar won’t close it)
It doesn’t happen all the time, but I’d say about 2/3 times.

Have also noticed a lot of other issues like countermeasures not always deploying when using series, random packet loss when before Firebirds I NEVER had an issue, frame rate drop/stuttering when going into tank sights on certain maps, skins not loading, etc

Never in my 12 years of playing have I seen the game so broken, and this mixed with the map issues I’ve brought up in the past is extremely demotivating to see what was once a good game going down the toilet.

I have linked a video showing the skins not loading. At first you can tell the skins for the Missiles haven’t loaded, then the 2S6 spawns in without a skin at all.

And here’s a video of the long loading screen. As you can see, none of the buttons (messages, friends list, stat card) work which leads me to believe it freezes.

Also have been experiencing the same issue with longer than normal loading screens back to the hanger. I am also in agreement with the frequency being about 2/3rds of all battles played.

Does the bug still persist for you?
I’ll try reinstalling the game, but if it still doesn’t help I’ll make a bug report

It’s got less, but it still happens. I’ve made a bug report too.

I hope they see your report…

Me too, I’m getting more issues now since one of their minor updates. Game will randomly freeze for about 5 seconds.
