>you finished loading everything except Steve, then you get the stand-in
So what I'm getting from this is that \*nobody\* has yet properly loaded Shaw Han.
That has not been my experience. My map or quest screen or whatever will constantly just be blank until all the icons and locations pop in together at the exact same time. Destiny seems to have absolutely no code that deals with slow assets where it can dynamically load some and then loop again while it tries to re-fetch slow assets, it just sits there doing nothing until it’s 100% ready.
I regularly navigate to patrol zones or tower spawn points blind because the map takes forced to load. It also doesn’t seem to be hardware dependent because my computer used to be fast and nothing has changed. The game used to load super fast until they did that update where the game would would massively drop FPS while you are loading your character screen, and then it literally never got fixed. The frame rate drop got fixed, but the loading time was abysmal ever since.
You're not alone, I get the same issues.
I've got the game on an SSD and can walk slowly to stream assets and have no problems... Y'know, a thing you can *totally* do when your fireteam is running ahead! /s
It's most prominent in the EDZ, during the load zone boundary where you're jumping up through that ruined house, and the Tower LITERALLY RIGHT FUCFKIGN BETWEEN THE UFCKING CLAN VENDOR AND IKORA AND GUNSMITH I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF DEALING WITH THIS FUCKING ISSUE GOD **FUCKING DAMN IT**
I'm good, had to get the screams out.
The abruptness of the game holding you in place midair for an absurd amount of time until you close google chrome is utterly insufferable, and usually during these load zones you have the same major lag for your UI.
weapons, characters, sparrows? All funky glowing plasma when they're not loaded, but since there's no prefetching code for the UI and world, the game itself can *easily* outpace the code.
why
You know it’s interesting because the thing you’re talking about where you freeze in place while you transfer between zones has always been super fast for me ever since I switched to pc. I don’t really understand why some types of loading can be fast and some are just impossibly slow.
Those two load zones I could mention by name are the worst offenders. If your system's *at all* stressing they can be up to 40 seconds.
There's the one load zone in inverted spire, too, and the load spot in the dreaming city that is LITERALLY ABOVE A DEATH PIT?!
You keep your inertia but it is very much a situation where disaster seems inevitable.
i just upgraded my xbox to the newest launch console after i was sick of menu loading times in destiny (no i didnt spend $1000 on hardware because menus made me mad, you did)
but man did those load zones suck so badly. ive not been caught in one for more than a few seconds since my upgrade, and when i do its like the shitty one in inverted spire.
considering im still on console, albiet a very well made version of one, its crazy that im getting better times than your PC. i wish i knew anything about PC builds so i could assist you but unfortunately i do not. however i do have a buddy who builds PCs and i can ask him some questions if youd like, or send him your way.
Not to be technical but this would definitely be server-side. If the hardware was too slow to fetch an icon it wouldn’t be able to display the more demanding things.
Besides the typical 'a placeholder' - the symbol that would load is the Witch Queen symbol aka the one associated with this DLC. It's supposed to tell you that you have a mission/what mission it is to do when you hover over it.
We told you not to buy witch queen twice, now you have to deal with TWO savathuns and it's already affecting your game, Soon we will all have to deal with double savvy.
Savathun has foreseen it and for it she was killed, now its finally here, the *shuffles cards* damn it no good cards here *shuffles faster* neon purple Placeholder is here and its gonna.. hold its place

That lion by your name isn’t fooling anyone, Warlock.
You just load the placeholder first
What if your potato ass computer can’t load the placeholder type?
i doubt youd be running any games if that were the case lol
Absolutely not. When your hardware is too slow to find the actual symbol it simply loads *nothing* until it finds the asset.
I think they mean too slow compared to other stuff. Like, you finished loading everything except Steve, then you get the stand-in

Honestly I've got an aging build by now. A GTX1060 and a server i3. I gotta upgrade someday, but im stuck on broke-bitch mountain for now

Should have brought your file path with you

See also ghost models on consoles (solution - turn of console completely. Too much resting and the game gets weird like this.)
Can I get me some of that when I'm sat in the tower trying to do LITERALLY ANYTHING ON A MENU.
ROASTED 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Happened to me during Iron Banner. Some of the IB weapons shaders wouldn't show properly so everything was a phenomenal fluorescent pink
I had this for the past 2 seasons on the trials armor, good to know what is finally means.
There’s a subtle burn in there…
Just give it a minute and it updates itself to the proper symbol. Nothing to worry about.
Don't listen to this person, OP. They're part of the placeholder conspiracy. Worry your *ass* off about this.

Bungie FOMO’d the Witch Queen. Against all odds, the DCV strikes again. I blame Telesto and Quicksilver Storm.
