The loading times are really really bad...

[TemmieNeko]

4-5 seconds every new [ screen, event, cutscene, enemy, return to prior area ]
I don't recall 1/2 genie hero doing this, only the save old man screens, and that's it. But this game ALSO has those, with a nice 3-5 second loading time.

on an SSD lol

[Myuuzilla]

4 seconds for every screen? Are we playing the same game?

[patpatyos]

Not even a second for loading screens

no i didn't say every screen, i said for every new screen of things you didn't previously go to lol.
I'm on the GOG version, got it there bc it as up way before this one.

[Myuuzilla]

You literally said "4-5 seconds every new [ screen"

So yeah, every new screen.

yeah, the town is a " screen "
I'm not referring to individual 1920x1080 literal " screens ' xd

Timed it and each zone takes 10-15 seconds to load in. It's godawful and that combined with the fact you can't Alt+Tab out of the game without it completely halting the game is just a terrible.

yeah its been an ongoing problem a lot of people are experiencing, also if you have the bad load times you can check but you prolly have the game maxing out your cpu too regardless of core count.

It wouldn't be so bad if the loading wasn't so CPU intensive that it causes whatever youtube video you're watching to freeze for a few seconds.

[GersteLP]

made a video with and about that issue. English description below the video...maybe you wanna check it out...during loading screens, the game maxes out the cpu but I´ll show you a little workaroung

Yeah, I get ridiculous load times and even stuttering in the loading dance (and Shantae running towards that old save dude after beating a boss).

I don't recall any of the previous games having this problem—at least not to this extent—but it's annoying to the point where my 8 year-old and my 4 year-old have started sighing audibly on every load screen we encounter.

[ZelosZalis]

yeah I tried using the "fix" and it still maxes all 4 of my cores. I know my pc is getting up in years but its kinda silly that this game can work my system harder than resident evil 3 remake. theres clearly a problem with how they coded this vs their previous games.

It's a game problem for sure, WF replied to me and a few other people on twitter that they're gonna take a look at it, let's hope they really do something and doesn't take months.

[ZelosZalis]

that's some good news at least. I've refrained from playing it in hopes of a fix.

"Between every screen" doesn't give me loading screens, but the few loading screens I DO get are 10+ seconds that lock up my computer (i can tell, because it causes browsers in the background to pause)

yeah its not every screen for me, but a load between major "zones" that I have all these issues.
