XDefiant players are tired of \u201ctoo many loading screens\u201d UbisoftXDefiant has largely managed to course correct after a rocky launch but there are still several issues that players are drawing attention to. One of the biggest is loading screens, which many feel are stopping them from enjoying the game. Posts on social media have indicated discontent with the way the game is functioning. One broke exactly how loading happens for them in XDefiant, and many were quick to chime in with their own horror stories. \u201cCan\u2019t even create a class because the creating match freezes and kicks you out of all menus. Completely bizarre that they thought that was okay,\u201d one response to the post read. Another added, \u201cI think the problem is the dead space behind many of the loading screens. If the game is truly \u2018loading\u2019 \u2013 give us something to do or look at that is worth waiting.\u201d A third even complained about the way the game is loading after a match has finished, where the menus are seemingly the only thing that needs to be loaded in. \u201cFor some reason, the worst for me is the 20 seconds loading it takes for you to leave a lobby back to the main menu. Why does it take so long to just, like, disconnect? Just a sad black screen with a loading icon. Also, I need to click \u201cback\u201d 2 or 3 times after that cause it\u2019s taking me to the mode selection instead of the main menu. Ugh.\u201d The problems don\u2019t end there for Ubisoft, as they seek to address the most egregious issues quickly. The biggest is arguably \u201cbunny hopping,\u201d an unintended mechanic that many feel is ruining the experience. Essentially, players are jumping as soon as they find an enemy. This makes them impossible to hit for the first fraction of a second, handing them an advantage in a 1v1. It\u2019s not all bad news for the developer. XDefiant had a record-breaking launch, with a million unique players logging in during the first 2.5 hours. Additionally, it also managed to hit 500,000 concurrent users across all platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
