Do you need this game really?

[Alphawolf]

yes, people with HDDs are saying that their games are studdering and lagging. Load screens all say that the experience is better with an SSD.

Everything runs faster from a ssd or m2.
No sane person wants to play a game with minutes of loading times etc.
A good optimized game should still run smooth with exeptable loading times.
Even when run from a spindisk
If not it should need more type optimizing it.
But running from an ssd they can get away witth that lol. most games need to preload shaders to run smooth too im no developer but in my opinion only thing you should see is the loading times are faster.
Only when you system is below recomend specs or badly optimized games run like crap on older hard drives

Yes, most definitely, it's the difference between completely unplayable and just ok, even with low settings.

SSD over HDD is one of the biggest PC improvements you can get IMO.

ho the fck wants put any games to HDD?

bro ive this game on my gen4 nvme and i dont even get to see the loading screen properly 💀 HDDs dont have the write speed like a SSD so ye, u will load slower n feel a lot of stuttering. and 2TB Nvme is super cheap.

Yes, I tried on both. HDD stutters, SSD don't

I have installed the game on HDD and all the textures were loading so slow and the game stutters because of that. On the other hand playing on SSD fixed everything.

so far i notice only 4 games that actually required SSD. I guess the times are changing :)
I'm buying another desktop in 2 months, make sure i have about 5 SSD drives install and the rest external hard drives. I have 8 hard drives now, but only two SSD.

On a HDD I got 12-45 fps avr 24 lots of stuttering and load times were a little long. on a m.2 25-75 stutters only every minute or so fps avr 48 and load times are a little better. this game shouldn't need to be on an ssd, it's poor optimization covered by superior hardware.

really not sure what everyone here is yapping about.
i tried on 2.5" SSD, ,M.2 SSD and HDD and performance in all is more or less the same.
i'm not getting any performance issues in any of them.
i did notice however that on the HDD the game does take about 1 minute to buffer when getting into the game world, but again 1 minute after the game finally finishes buffering the experience is more or less identical like with my 2.5" SSD and with my M.2 SSD.

i would say though that it seems performance in this game varies GREATLY between everyone, this game is significantly unoptimized to say the least so its honestly just a matter of trial and error at this point.

in general however you should preferably install ANYTHING on an SSD rather than on an HDD, but if storage space is an issue you can still use an HDD (with the drawback i mentioned prior) without having any sort of performance issues - at least that's the case for me.

dude, its 2024 who the fk stays with HDD??? thats milenial, get some job, work and then u buy a SSD, is not much xpensive. LOL
