In jlanders's earlier thread he or she claims that the minor fix released today resulted in Valheim taking a half hour to load from clicking Start to the spawning of a viking with the "just arrived" message. jlanders blames this on the developers adding new emotes at the expense of program performance.

Of course, today's minor fix added no emotes. This fact leads me to doubt jlanders's analytic abilities, especially his or her claim that the problem is not a bug or technical issue.

I hope someone can help jlanders with the problem. Alas, I lack the time and patience.
