I notice a lot of lag after the last update. Do you have the same problem?

What's happening is the client is downloading resource files. It will "lag" until it has downloaded the files and can load them.

You can disable this and play as normal if you go to your Launcher settings, and in the Download tab tick "Download all the resource files"

This will pre-download the entire update/install, rather than fetching the individual assets when needed.


TL;DR: you can stop the lag in your launcher settings.

From what people tell, it seems that this new feature isn't actually caring about all the assets that are downloaded already from pre-Scylla installations. That's kind of bonkers.

When you open the launcher it *should* give the option to convert those assets into the new files for the shared cache.

It worked fine for me, at least.

I have the box ticked and I still get the 'resources loading' animation, and I'm waiting longer than before patch to see things like full character portraits and other graphics.

Read your damned subject lines, people, before you hit POST!

Not in space, but opening the industry window seems to be taking even longer than usual.

Yea, ive seen a crawl with portraits loading as well. I simply relogged the game and all was good afterwards.

Destiny always seems decades away, but suddenly it's not decades away; it's right now. But maybe destiny is always right now, right here, right this very instant, maybe.
