[XB/PS] Endless Load Times

During the past 1 year I encountered endless loading multiple times. I play on console (PS4, so please don't ask me if I removed mods/CC because I can't even have any) and I own many packs: most expansion, gameplay, stuff packs and since last month 3 kits. I always have the latest version of the game, so that shouldn't be causing any problems.

If I played for hours or notice minor bugs such as keys malfunctioning (no, it's not related to my keyboard) it's more likely that I'll get stuck in endless loading. I'm not saying loading screen on purpose because it also applies to saving. So far I was able to salvage these situations by just saving it as a save file instead of a lot but last time the save files didn't load either. My best bet was to save it to my library because I suspected it would cause an infinite loading screen, if I went to manage worlds anyways. The upload still froze.

Recently, I had a lot of infinite loading screens. It has also happened during the current event multiple times. The only pattern I recognize is that it occurs either while traveling or while going from build mode to manage worlds. 

It didn't bother me that much but during the past month it has happened a lot. Hope this can be fixed soon.

  • For the past 2 weeks I have to attempt to open the game 4 or 5 times before it will open. I keep getting the opening screen then the “took too long to start” message. I close the game out completely or I restart my Xbox completely and reload the game and get the same message. After playing something else for about 30 minutes the game will finally load. It’s so frustrating. Especially during events. If I miss out on rewards because the game won’t load that's not fair.

    I have tired quitting the game clearing data restarting my console everything I can think of no matter what I can’t get past the first loading screen it loads a quarter of the way and gets stuck at the same spot every time. My game just updated before I started having problem.
