Ok it has always taken too long to get to the front end in this game but this last patch makes it insane. I can go make a sandwich, eat it, pick my nose, take a crap, drink a beer, and finally the news feed pops up.

Seriously PGI?

UPDATE!!!

Cleared the cache folder and startup went from nearly 2:40 to 35seconds.

UPDATE 2!!!!!

So I just fired up MWO and I'm just sitting here again with it saying connecting. UGH Something is screwing the Cache folder up.

It loads fine for me, but the matchmaking system is not working for quickplay. 90% of the time, it makes the game crash. 5% of the time, it tells me I have incurred matchmaking penalties and that I have to wait. The other 5% of the time, it tells me I'm already in a match and has me rejoin the game, but I'm a late-comer to the game and therefore don't get all of the rewards at the end of the match.

The more mechs you have the longer the load time. Also the time it takes to save changes to a mech.

The only new mechs over pre patch are the Phoenix and that's what 3-4 mechs. Those shouldn't add this amount of front end loading time. I'll clock it tonight if I get on.
Sure isn't the system just upgraded to Skylake.
6700K
32GB Trident Z
Samsung 950 Pro 512GB (OS)
5TB WD Black (Steam/Game drive)

Prior patch it took I dunno 30-45 seconds now it's insanely longer.

From typing in password and starting timer when login is clicked 2:37:91 to get to the news feed where you can actually do something in the front end. So 1:15-1:30 extra for 3-4 new mechs is excessive. Maybe clearing the cache will do something since no one else is stating they have this problem post patch.

Cleared the Cache folder and the first start with rebuilding cache 36:57.

The next game start and login was 35:17 which is after the cache rebuilt itself. So it's back to normal. Don't know why a patch caused issues with the cache and added like 2 minutes to the game startup but it's sorted regardless.

Well was fine yesterday after clearing the cache folder and was fine this morning. I fire it up again tonight and it takes forever again. Dunno what keeps screwing up the cache folder but this is nuts!
