Very Long Load Times
was sitting around 4-5 minutes to load into campaign map and battles. After some optimizing i got it down to 1.5 to 3 minutes to load.

Not seeing many threads on load times. Anyone else getting this? Any Tips?

SSD, on my external HDD WH2 takes about 5 mins to load. Also upgrade your RAM if you can to at least 16GB if you already don't got 16GB of RAM.

This, SSD and plenty of RAM solve these loading issues.

I've got 16GM RAM and the game installed on a M.2 (albiet with gen 3 PCIe, but I still get 2500 MB/s read speed in bench marks).
And the game takes 45-50 seconds to load the campaign map from the main menu. This feels like a long time, but maybe it is the norm?

Ram and SSD fixed my issues for me for the most part.

Just did the test. On my PC with SSD, it's 45 seconds from "continue campaign" (in the launcher @desk) to in-game.

Get an SSD
I have mine on an SSD and loading takes about 5-10 seconds.

for anyone who thinks 30-45 seconds to load into the campaign is slow ....
it takes me 2-3 minutes, sometimes 5 if im in a rush.

I have it installed on a hdd, and i have 16gb ram

Its a big game, so yes its gonna take a few seconds to load.
Based on personal experience and the experience of my friend group, if you're measuring load times in seconds, you're fine. If you're starting to wait a couple minutes to load into the campaign and battles, unfortunately ssd or m.2 appears to be the only solution (assuming you've already got the 16gb of RAM).

I've tried messing with the graphic settings, ive messed with the scripts, ive messed with some mods. Nothing works. It literally just comes down to how quickly you're pc can read from the game files, which is almost entirely dependent on your storage device.

I ended up building a new computer and upgraded to a mobo with gen4 pci-e and the game loads wayyy faster now on an m.2 drive.

Mine is about the same here. Counting in my head.

Nice if it were faster.
