Incredibly long loading times

[vulkan]

I just recently bought Darktide alongside a 3060ti and a AMD 5 5600X and it's taking me ages to get past any kind of loading screen. Is there any fix to it?

HDD or SSD? Even on an NVMe SSD they're still pretty long. No ways to improve that AFAIK.

HDD, though I'd try to move the game over to my SDD, would Steam be able to give me the option.

Should be able to:

Library > right click Darktide > Properties > Local Files > Move install folder

Same thing happened to me. Usually screens aren't too long but one game was over a minute. When I spawned in the rest of my team was standing around like they were still loading.

There's your problem.

i am on a SSD and it still take a long time

The jump from HDD to just a standard SDD is insanely high. If you raise the bar to nvme M2 its even higher.

To be honest I think HDD has played out their role in 2022. Same goes with floppy disk.

But back to topic: Ofc you are gonna get very long loading times on a HDD. Not really the games fault. And I say this in no way to offend you op. Just stating.

I thought the issue was on their server end. I am going to move the game from HDD to SSD to see if there are any improvements, although seems like many people already said no

[Katitoff]

Nothing screams like "I NEED AN UPGRADE DESPERATELY" like thinking you can do without SSD in modern games.

HDD is a floppy disc of our time, its time to stop thinking its valid option.

[vulkan]

Yea

Moving from HDD to SSD worked.

SSD stills take longtime, sometimes really long i think because of waiting other player loading screens

[TheHappyMonk]

I have a new PC SSD all the way. Still takes a long time to load. although in all fairness, it only seems to be when i first start up the game.

Not even an M.2 drive is going to resolve the game's shoddy programming. I'd know. I wasted my time downloading this ♥♥♥♥ again just recently.

That's because this product is not finished. Nowhere near being finished. Not even 9 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ months after its release.

I'm sorry to ask this in this thread but can a computer person help me with this question?

I have an old PC. I NEED to purchase a new gaming PC for next year. I just have to. I'm running everything on low settings as it is. My current HDD has 2TB of space and my SSD has 100gigs but it is constantly full so I can never put anything else on it.

When I purchase my new gaming computer: How much SSD space are we talking about that I'm going to need for gaming?

Thank you very much
