No, I'm trying a fresh uninstall/reinstall on the desktop. The issue seems to come up when I try to enter a mission or switch cities. I moved my character to a lower populated server as well.
well, everything's up to date and it's still not loading, it is giving me an error message when I try to log into the launcher but it will take me through the character screen, just won't load the map.
I'm running windows updates, including optional, and driver updates I think this is user error we'll see. Hopefully that reminds someone else to check the same things if they're hitting a wall, these were all updated just a few weeks back and there's more stuff out there now.
