    What does redownload character assets mean?  How do I do that?
    Was about to ask the same thing since playing matches with a character doesn't seem to do it as several people have mentioned.
    If a player starts a mission and sees a long loading screen, if they replay the same mission with the same characters, they shouldn't see another long loading screen.
    Hi Brigby.  Not trying to be contrary and maybe it's just me, but I'm still seeing the loading screen using the same team against the same opponents.  The first match seems to be the worst, but the issue still lingers.  Several others have described similar experiences.  It's as if the increase in level of the opponent (or something like that) is a factor.
    I would still need to confirm this with the developers once they're back in the office tomorrow morning, however I speculate that you're fighting the same opponents, but with a different background image; that's what's being downloaded.

    I played a match with every character in the game, and I'm still getting constant loading screens.

    This is what happens when after 3 years you STILL don't properly test patches

    @Brigby - I've also completed Daiches recommend process for this and can confirm excessive loading screens still existing. Also confirmed during multiple PVE clears of same node with same team that issue will restart.

    Stop complaining! We'll probably get a couple Elite tokens for this!

    Notes that there's no release event in progress, puts down game, plays something else, checks forum occassionally to see if the issue has been fixed.

    Thanks for adding the update about the loading screens. Makes sense about what is happening. It's getting faster the more I play after the patch.

    As someone who has EVERY character in the game, this does not make me happy

    Just undo the patch. Life will go on as planned and we will forget this patch every tried existing

    Anyone else notice, if you tap on a repeater tiles to see its description it's blank? Nothing there.... 

    Oh and also, in case no-one noticed those load times are terrible at the beginning of every damn match.....

    I noticed grumblings about shenanigans with this patch so I delayed updating as long as I could. I'm just glad today's PvE sub is a 48 hour one. I think I'll just wait patiently for them to fix it before I attempt to play.

    This is like MPQ karma for that bug in classic tokens.

    I know nothing about programming and stuff but I find it funny that the weird odds thing was fixed in a matter of hours whereas this loading issue is still going rampant! And to top it off.. the suggestion is for us to fix it ourselves by playing with every character we have. And on top of that, it is not even a guaranteed fix!

    Keep at it guys... Plenty more players to lose I guess

    I was thinking the same. If it benefits the user then it'll get patched immediately. If it hurts the user then they'll get around to fixing it eventually.

    Really slow loading of each match.  @Brigby

    I used all my characters in System Reboot as suggested (starting match and retreating). It did seem to help. Lightning Rounds were fine this morning. Deadpool daily was slower, since those were the first missions since the patch dealing with ISO-Mutants and Maggia thugs and Symbiotes. Doom door in Strange Sights will be slow at first too, with all the ULTRON Sentries and Mindless Ones
    Secondary frustration: if you play on mltiple devices, you need to reload on the second one seperately. Oh well.

    This is just unbelievably irritating; it ruins the game for me (and many of you, I'd imagine). How in the world could someone have possibly approved this patch?
