"Starfield Wait TIMES are BROKEN!"

[Sir Happy]

I did some test on my PC because Waiting look weird to me so I tested starfield again's IT'S predecessors my results may vary from you're.

N:1 Morrowind at 2.27=24H
N:2 Fallout 3 at 16.50=24H
N:3 Oblivion at 16.59=24H
N:4 Fallout NV at 17.82=24H
N:5 Fallout 4 at 21.70=24H
N:6 Skyrim at 25.40=24H
N:7 Skyrim SE at 25.54=24H
N:8 Skyrim switch at 27.14=24H
And at last place
N:9 Starfield at 48.71=24H

Now I did almost every one but I did what I had on hand hents why there are 3 skyrim's 1 of every type But now I'll tell you is these where on a hdd, sd, ssd, or my m.2 ssd.

N:1 hdd 7,200RP
N:2 hdd 7,200RP
N:3 hdd 7,200RP
N:4 hdd 7,200RP
N:5 M.2 ssd 3.5GB
N:6 hdd 7,200RP
N:7 hdd 7,200RP
N:8 sd 128M
N:9 M.2 ssd 3.5GB

The RP GB and M are the speed.
The RP 4 hard drives is higher is better.
The GB is gigabytes That is vary fast speed.
And than M megabytes Slow but Is doable at times. Like somewhat as fast as a hdd.

Let's see what you find with my small testing compared to you're.

"old games load faster than new games"

more news at eleven

also stop "testing" on mechanical drives as games are developed around ssds now

You do notice that the processing power of the device and the scale of the game increases the wait time right? It doesn't matter if you have a godlike NVME drive, if the game engine isn't optimized for it.

Heck I have a ultrawide monitor at 1440p and it keeps flickering the monitor when I open up the menu because the menu is strictly 1440p, not ultrawide variant.

Soo.. did I got that right? You try to find a correlation between "wait times" (sit down, hit wait, let 1 hour past?) and used storage hardware and bethesda games?

It's completely valid to test the older games on HDD since people mostly had those at the time.

He tested Starfield on an SSD and it was still slow so no excuses.

If you're ganna wait Like 2 time's to fully reset the vendors it's ganna be a pain in the neck verse older game even on a slower drive. My point being Even when a game tell's me what to use 4 the best experience. And even if I put every game and the best storage still why add more time to the wait if it could be faster and you can get more done in the older titles even fallout 4 did great in a 1 4 1 show down On the same drive.

The load time for me is less then 5 seconds your SSD must suck ass sigh...

And don't forget Fallout 4 as a 1 4 1 on M.2 to give starfield a more recent game to fight.

He tested it with old or failing one because I get faster load times then any the times he got in his tests on this game lol.

What OP forgot is that wait times vary greatly depending on what planet you are waiting on. Wait times on Venus is only 15 hours to reset vendors for example.

Curious. I never noticed that tbh ._. (I always tab out of the game while waiting - using the bAlwaysActive flag in my StarfieldCustom.ini)

[General]
bAlwaysActive=1

I stopped staring at loading screens a long time ago - always have a browser with dozens of tabs open while gaming

Dud wait times not load time. Here I did a quicke load time through a door 4 ya 4.27. Now you try a full 24H wait time and you see. See big different's 2 different thing in the same game.

it's not only related to drive speed but also CPU specs of course, so if your CPU is better it will load faster.

Starfield hates alt tab's pause es the game every time I'm on the other monitor.

Mine was unplayable running on a SATA drive. Music cutting out all the time, 3-4 second load time just to go to the items menu, screen freeze for 2-3 seconds at a time while playing. I deleted the game and re-installed on a SSD and that eliminated all of that. Runs smooth as butter now on Ultra. Using a 3090. Since switching I haven't noticed one thing wrong with the game and am enjoying it.
