Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Experiencing 5 min load times, was 30 seconds

I'm unsure what the problem is, but suddenly the game takes about 5 mins to load. That's not an exaggeration, thats an approximation. It used to take 30 seconds at most. I have no idea what has caused this problem. Is anyone else experiencing this?
It also started crashing every time I load a previous save. Pretty serious bugs, and they weren't present when I started playing, they seem to have developed along the way. I have no idea why this is happening. Any help would be appreciated

It is the same problem as mentioned in here: http://larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=611001#Post611001 - not solved in this time
