There have been countless reports of Dauntless slow loading times ever since the game left its beta period earlier this week. If you’re one of those wondering why hunt waiting times are so long, and you want a fix for this, we can help. Read our Dauntless slow loading times guide for more information.
Dauntless Slow Loading Times | Waiting for hunts
Let’s get to the bottom of the Dauntless slow loading times then. The game left its beta stage on Tuesday, May 22 to the delight of Phoenix Labs, but players haven’t been happy with the game’s performance since then.
Like you, many others have complained about slow load times between hunts. Threads have been popping up all over the game’s Reddit page, such as this linked one, as people look for a way to resolve this issue.
It could be that the servers are simply overloaded with the number of players that are trying to access the game. There have been matchmaking issues too, which won’t help. If you want to read more about those problems, you can do so with our guide.
Dauntless Slow Loading Times | Is there a fix?
Phoenix Labs are aware of the Dauntless slow loading times and have provided an update on the problem via their servers page. They explained that they had sorted out a patch that resolves the loading times and matchmaking issues.
However, that hasn’t been the case for everyone. Players have continued to head to the game’s Reddit page to state that the slow load times are back. This seems particularly prevalent on PS4 consoles, and user frustration is certainly growing.
Phoenix Labs are continuing to monitor the situation, and should fix any niggling issues again if more people struggle to access the game. If you’re still struggling to get on now, it might be best to wait a while longer until things are more stable.

Prelude to Greatness | PlayStation 4's 2019 Lineup
The frontrunner for much of the current generation, Sony is having a quieter year in 2019. While preparing for future plans and a possible new console, there's not a whole lot of God of War-tier stuff on the horizon. However, PS4 owners still have plenty of games to look forward to. -
Days Gone
Releasing on April 26, Days Gone is a long in development zombie adventure that has had a mixed reception so far. E3 showings have been underwhelming, but a recent round of previews brought some better thoughts. Here's hoping that this one will surprise gamers when it emerges. -
Death Stranding
As of right now, Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding is set for a 2019 release. While this probably isn't going to be the case, it's still something that PlayStation owners are greatly anticipating. Perhaps they'll anticipate it even more when they know what type of game it is. -
Dreams
Depending on who you are, it's possible you've already been playing Dreams for months. Media Molecules' creation tool will go into a more wide beta this year before patching in single player content in the fall. Considering that we first saw Dreams before the PS4 was out, it's been a long time coming. -
The Last of Us 2
The second chapter in Naughty Dog's post-apocalyptic epic is also on the cards for a 2019 release as of now. We'll see more as the year goes on, but expect at least another trailer in case the game ends up on Sony's next console. -
MediEvil
This remake of the PlayStation 1 classic platformer has been hanging around since 2017, and it could pop up again any day now. Sir Dan was almost one of Sony's mascots back in the day, so only time will tell if gamers respond to him the same way in 2019. -
Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled
Moving on to third-party releases, long term PlayStation fans will be eagerly anticipating the return of their kart racer in a remastered state. Crash (and possibly Spyro) will be hopping back into karts for a spruced up grand prix that should retain what people loved about the original CTR. -
Psychonauts 2
Long in development and anticipated for even longer than that, the return of Double Fine's 3D platformer should be cause for celebration among fans. PS4 players, in particular, have already had a taste via the PSVR prequel, Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin -
Rage 2
The surprising sequel to id Software's post-apocalyptic first-person shooter, Rage 2 depicts a very neon pink wasteland that players are eager to jump into. It seems like it won't take too much from the 2010 original, so every PS4 player can jump in fresh. -
Shenmue 3
Debuting on the Sony E3 stage several years ago, Shenmue is currently scheduled to return after a long hiatus in 2019. Will you play a game of lucky hit? How are the sailors involved? Is there gameplay this time? We all have to wait to find out. -
The Outer Worlds
Recently making waves due to its Epic Games Store exclusivity, The Outer Worlds is also hitting PlayStation 4 in 2019. Obsidian's stab at a Fallout-esque game in the vein of New Vegas, we're sure plenty of players are eager to try it out after Fallout 76's less than stellar debut.
