Having the same issue. I have manually checked for any updates that mighgt have been missed, updated all drivers on my PC, checked my network settings and configurations but after sign in, load icon (lower right side of the screen) nearly locks in place and barelly moves. I have waited until it managed to get through to character selection but the same. Waited for about 10 - 15 minutes just so my characters would appear. Only class and emblem appeared (no character) and when enterign the game even opening my inventory took about 5 minutes. Game runs well until the point of signing in and always ran well before. Only encountered this yesterday and today after the last update.
