Overly Long Startup

[Dreadborne]

I’ve been having this weird thing lately,

Ever since I restarted, the first day seems to have worked fine.

Now everytime I press PLAY (So this is POST LAUNCHER) after my credentials in the launcher it can take up to 2-3 Minutes of blackscreen and even inside the realm/character select it can take up to two minutes before my character appears for me to choose and log in.

In-game everything is fine and I have 0 problems, no long loadings nothing.
Is it a hardware issue? A config issue? Windows issue?

Before writing this post I made sure to update my bios, chipset and display driver. The problem still subside.
Also made sure to turn off or stop any overclocking undervolting etc etc settings. All my hardware is on default state except my ram is at 3200

The pc specs themselves
Motherboard: MSI Tomahawk max B450
CPU: Ryzen 3950x
Ram: 16gb 3200 (2x8)
Psu: 800w gold cert semi modular
GPU: 5700XT
Storage: Ffxiv is installed on my samsung 500gb SSD.
My internet is a stable wired 400mbps

Any ideas or similar issues? Only thing I found similar was a problem related to a black launcher not post launcher.

The only thing I didn't do is a full reinstall or wipe the OS but every other games/programs work fine, so I doubt the issue comes from the OS.

Good morning and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Does this issue happen when Final Fantasy XIV is the only program running? Also, could you provide a system report? Simply go to the 'Config' option on the Final Fantasy XIV launcher and to the right of 'System Information' click on 'Display.'

Are your two sticks of ram installed close together or they are space out? Example

x - ram installed
o - empty slot

Not running dual channel
[x][x][o][o]

Correctly run dual channel twice fast loading and data transfer.
