After playing a multiplayer match, I opted to exit the game and return to the main menu.
When trying to go back to the title menu of the game, the game stays in the loading screen for a very long time before any response is shown. (Approximately 3 to 5 minutes)
When the game finally loads up the title menu, the selection of the exit button takes awhile to respond before the game finally closes. The world does not load as well.
Verification of steam files and renaming of the clientregistry.blob yield no improvements to the situation.
