So the client takes 1 minute to load after clicking the play now button. after the latest patch takes a min exactly every time to load. before it would load instently. i have clicked verify and have deleted and re downloaded the client again. every thing else loads instently and i am only sitting at 40% ram load and 2% cpu load when i start the game.
 
A few possibilities would be antivirus/security software scanning the client at launch, Windows Defender's Controlled Folder Access, a permissions issue preventing the client from accessing or creating a file, or another application on the system interfering with the startup process. Since this began immediately after the patch, it's possible that a changed executable or updated game file is triggering additional scrutiny from security software.

Try locating your Outlands.exe file in the installation directory and running it as Administrator. Ie: right click, run as Admin.
