Since the first big patch, not the latest one, I've been getting incredibly long load times. Before the patch my load times were 5-10 seconds. Now my load times are 10-15 minutes.

PC btw.

You're not alone duder. I have no idea what's going on, but mine's doing the same crap. Sometimes it doesn't even load, or I'll have to force restart my BF3 while switching between levels.

Actually, my BF3 uninstalled itself randomly for the second time today. Wtf?

Is the patch out on 360?

Yep. In addition to this, every virgin boot load of the game requires Battlefield 3 to stop working first before going stable. Other than disconnects and lag, I never had an issue. Since the first patch, mondo fucker. I sort of gave up playing since half the time trying to join a server results in the single player campaign launching instead. So now I roll with the 3 strike rule before I move on for the night.

Ye - initial loading times are hell. At least I haven't had a crash/hang-up at map changes anymore.

I'm dreading the load times now. I thought it was slow before this patch. They'd better fix it.

I would like to know this as well.

I noticed after the patch that it minimizes the BF3 window after joining a server, you just have to maximize it and its as fast as it was before if you do nothing it just sits in the taskbar
