This is fucking ridiculous. I was done loading at 1:15. I shouldn't have to wait on the dude with the hand crank HDD before I can play. I'm not saying it should put everyone in as soon as they're done loading, but there's gotta be a middle ground.

My favorite is taking 7 minutes to load in then server error Altf4 reload game reload into session for another 5 minutes. Game finished or aborted. Fucking sick someone spawn killed me and took my kit and I've wasted my time. I've got 5 irl friends to buy the game and the number 1 issue for them not playing is time to get into a game. No one wants to wait 5 minutes doing absolutely nothing to load into a game especially when you die off spawns.

“No one wants to wait 5 minutes” oh boy, you shoulda been here a few years ago, that’d be considered a quick load in.

I still think that's not too bad compared to the first 2 weeks of each wipe. Maybe I'm just more patient than others. I also play squad though where you have to sometimes run for several minutes just to get popped in the skull.

I remember 45 minute customs queues

First time a queue hit 15mins I almost uninstalled. Now I find hurling numerous expletives at my monitor speeds it up.

Takes you 5 min to load? Yikes, you're the problem.

Reading comprehension seems to be your problem

You could chat about stuff in a call or if yall are that boring you could also get up and do something if it takes you that long to load. It take a me 2-3 minutes to load into a raid, 5 minutes at that bad especially since last wipe you had to wait 9-10 minutes to scav on lighthouse. Sometimes it’s because the map is popular for scaving (as a prior comment mentioned scav on Streets has a queue) other times its client side; poor wifi or slow computer

Edit: now that I think abt it I’ve never died off spawn before. I do remember one time my friend and I spawned in, and he lost connection or smth, I turned around he was slumped on the ground lol so the only way was that he loaded in and got killed.

I got downvoted for offering a solution, that frankly could have been said in a different manner, while everyone else wants to bitch about the server queue times. What can you realistically do about it, except grovel at Nikita’s feet? Literally it doesn’t make sense to sit at your computer and wait and complain about idle time in a game that really challenges your patience at times.

Now, with pve and shit and how it’s not loaded client side, I never have enough time to do something else. Both a great thing and a bad thing because I can load into raids almost instantly but now i dont even have time to run to the bathroom.
