Still Working On It
We are aware that some players are encountering an issue with some assets taking very long to load, which can lead to objects being invisible or missing. While we have some promising leads (it seems to primarily affect players who have installed the game on an HDD), we are still investigating the range of configurations affected, so if this is happening to you, please reach out to our support so that we can make sure we're helping you, too.
