Battlefield 5 Slow Startup and Long Loading Time

I've been having this issue since the servers went down the other week, it was fine up until then. I thought the servers were the problem and that's why it was taking so long to load that night. I've deleted the game, settings folder, Ea app, cache and reinstalled it all, deleted anticheat, reinstalled, repaired and updated... still the same issue with loading as you described.
