multiplayer tab in the menu takes too long to load.
Multiplayer is only enabled at certain times. 10am-2pm and 5pm-9pm (Pacific Standard Time). Outside of these 4-hour windows, the game will just hang on the loading screen if you try to search multiplayer.
The next multiplayer window should be starting in roughly 10 minutes as of this comment.
Yeah they really should have made it more clear as I’m sure people who are less informed will be sat waiting for ages and get frustrated by it. Seen loads and loads of posts about it.
Hopefully in future it is greyed out or has a pop up when it is not operating.
