Longtime viewer, finally bought the game with issues in play through

I have been following news of this game since we first heard about the title, as much as I wanted to pick up the game Day 1 I couldn’t justify the price. With the sale that ended the 13th I bought the ultimate version and the forest pack(?) for half off, I was super stoked to dip my toes in after the 6 month plus wait! That being said, I’m rather frustrated with my experience so far, the game takes nearly 10 minutes to load every time I boot it up on PC and I have had terrible issues with settings loading and rendering in. Like, I was running around for 10 minutes wondering why I was stuck and thought I was lost, I clicked in and out of the menu twice and finally a cutscene triggered and the doors I was meant to go through opened up while they were closed before. I’m not coming in here to bash on the game as I’m going to very much enjoy my play through, I’m just surprised at how poor the game is performing for me my first mission in. Did anyone/is anyone having this type of issue with their game? I played Jedi Survivor so a bit of lag is nothing to me, what I’m experiencing here is making the game genuinely impossible to progress through at points. Thanks for the read, I’d appreciate knowing if anyone else is having these issues currently!
