This began happening after the latest patch. First, most character models don’t load, but when they do, they are grey placeholder models. Sometimes weapons don’t load either. The only things visible are the names and health bars of the characters. Along with missing character models, world entities such as entire cliffs, buildings, and walls will not load either. I end up walking into and hopping around things I cannot see. The screenshot I’ve included is one of the more extreme instances.
These are coupled with atrocious frame rate drops, both frequent and severe. In addition to these frame rate drops, loading maps now takes excruciatingly long. The minimum amount of time for a map to load has become 3-5 minutes, with the most time taken being around 15 minutes.
Restarting the game and restarting my PC have both done nothing. I’ve never encountered these issues before, and I do hope there is something that can be done to fix them so I can start enjoying the game again. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
