Long load times

[markpiette]

I am curious if other people are having extremely long load times? I know my PC isn't the most up to date and I accept that my load times will not be the greatest, however these ones feel like a marathon to get through. Is anyone else experiencing long load times with a "good" PC

I don't have my spec handy as I am mobile but I have a store bought Gateway that is about 10 years old, everything has been swapped out and updated besides the chipset that is original.

If I remember to check later I will edit this with my PC stats

Very long load times with an ssd and 20gb of ram. Nearly enough time to put the kettle on for a brew.

So I know this isn't really a laughing matter - and it is a bit frustrating, especially when it crashes at the end too buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut....
Hidden developer feature designed to let you go to toilet and grab a drink before a 12 hour non-stop prospect?

You know there's optimazation to be done when cyberpunk loads in 6 seconds (main menu to ingame).

Long loading times with high-end setup aswell. Cant complain, its beta version

@JqqS I wasn't complaining, I was more curious if it was lack of optimization due to it being in Beta or if it is finally time for me to upgrade my PC :)

Loading times still high as hell in 12/2023.
I have a capable rig and still need over 2 minutes to enter the game.

26 seconds for innitial load screen
23 seconds untill the character select is loaded
76 seconds to enter the world
11 seconds till I can move
8 seconds more to load the rest of the high res textures

And I am loading from a NVME SSD. I was wondering, is this just me? Something wrong with my settings? What's your experience?

For any questions related to performance, you must first indicate your Specs, otherwise it will be a conversation about nothing.

SATA3 SSD. Loading to the start screen is a little faster, character selection is faster. The world loading time is also approximately 80 seconds, but this depends on the size of the world. I have it large, the save file size is 1961KB Its loading speed also depends on the performance of the Unreal Engine, so all questions about this should be addressed to this company.
After loading I can move instantly, all settings are High, distance epic.
If I have previously loaded the game and the files are in ‘cache in memory’, then the initial loading stage is significantly faster, and the map loading is also slightly faster.

My full time from a fresh reboot and clicking play in Steam to in game moving on my Prometheus open world is 65 seconds, including the three mouse moves and clicks - main menu, character select, resume.

Textures are set to high and my rig is 6+ years old. My SSD is in the M.2 slot so that could be a part. The M.2 slot is faster than the standard hard drive SATA connections but my SSD is definitely not a performance beast even by 2016 standards.

Not all SSD are created equally though - some of the multi-level cells (MLC, TLC or triple in my case) used in flash memory SSDs use are downright slow compared to the single level cells (SLC). But that's how they cram in a full terabyte of storage in some of the lower cost SSDs. If you got a high capacity SSD chances are it's not in the best performance tier.

True spoken. And I stoped a moment and thought about my situation and found out, I might be asking to much of the game. I am playing on Prometheus, in the last mission, so the prospect is very advanced and the map has quite some camps and structures I have build. Also I am playing on highest settings with RTX and DLSS Frame Gen.

Just for the test of it, I lowered the settings to a more modarate level and loaded an older solo mission. And behold - my loading time from launch to game was 42 seconds.

But yes, my feeling was right, that the loading time was getting much longer than it used to be. But thats due to advanced open world and higher settings.
