How to load assets faster?

Recently with patch .2 I had to switch to vulkan. DX12 stopped working for me. I don't know why.

Now, whenever I load up the game, its like i have to go run a campaign map to load assets. I can't see spells, I can't see enemies, I can't see the ground sometimes. It takes almost an entire map to render everything.

It's becoming kind of tedious that I have to burn a map or waste time on something danger-free to preload this stuff.

Any advice?
