Below you will find the number of clicks and time it takes to get a match.

1x Click to open the launch banner
- Wait for the banner to load (5-10 sec)

1x Click play on banner

4x Clicks to skip trough the company logos
- total time (2-4 sec)

1x Hold to skip Cut scene
- Wait to load ( 2-5 sec)

1x Click to get past the in-game banner
- Wait to select character (5-10 sec )

1x Click to select character
- Wait for game to load (10-15 sec)

Move character to in-game mission select
- Run to console (12 sec)

1x Click to open console

1x Click to select quick play
- Wait for Matchmaking (10-20 sec)

1x Ready up in team pre-launch
- Wait for everyone to ready up (5-60 sec)
- Wait for the map to load (10-30 sec)

You are now playing the game

Total clicks = 12
Total time = 1min - 1min 40 (approximation)

I think there is some room for improvement here.

The time to load into the Mourningstar is 10-120+ seconds, because of some amazing network architecture they have in the back end.

Don’t forget that you have to stare at the ending screen for a good 30 seconds after every mission DESPITE THERE’S A KEY TO SKIP IT THAT DOESN’T EVEN WORK

By the way, you can disable starting logos and cutscene in the options menu.

I do agree the wait times are quite ridiculous.

There is however a small hack - if you’ve loaded into a lobby alone and you start loading with no team, the loading can be just about instant if no one managed to connect yet, it just depends on your SSD speed at that point. Sometimes the monologue doesn’t even start playing.
