Excrutiatingly long load times

[Rusty]

I think something's wrong with my PC, because loading in character models on character select is taking 5+ seconds. Trying on customization options holds me hostage for 10+ seconds.

It's on an NVM drive that tests healthy, normal numbers on Crystal Diskmark. My specs meet the recommended specifications on every single target. 400+ score, and the game never so much as stutters while in game, I get a buttery smooth 60FPS. It's literally just the loading times.

What should I do?
CPU : Ryzen 5 2700x with stock cooler (changed from 4 lol)
MOBO : Asus Prime x570-P
RAM : Corsair Vengeance 32GB @3200 Mhz
GPU : EVGA GEFORCE RTX 2080 SUPER
STORAGE : HP EX920 500GB (windows boot drive, installed here), Samsung Evo 860 1TB, Seagate 5GB HDD
PSU : Antec 750w Gold

Edit: Here is what I tried:
-I have reinstalled it several times. Both the demo and the main version share this issue.
-I have installed the game and the demo on both of my SSDs, neither has any improvement in load times.
-I have cleared my page file.
-I have tested my SSDs with several separate applications.

Note: This was happening in the demo in the same way.

Edit: I think I fixed it on my end. Clean installed Windows 10, and then ran a program called Windows10Debloater[github.com]. using the "Remove all Bloatware" and "Remove all Telemetry" options, I removed a bunch of telemetry phone home BS that was constantly taxing my C drive. Now my characters load in about a second, sometimes two. Oh, before I forget: I also turned off Windows Search, AND disabled indexing on my C: drive.

I'm not sure. Loading time seems fine on my RTX2080Ti system.
I wonder reinstalling game may help.

Here's my video on customization mode.
4K 60fps, but still processing on youtube.

it's a console port so this is expected. pc is always put last nowdays

I legitimately have no idea why it's doing this. It's especially frustrating, because I tried to get help for this during the Demo. I was told it wouldn't be an issue in the official release and given barely any help.

I was just looking for more info on this. Why does it take 15+ seconds to load a character model? I have an SSD hard drive. It should not take this long. Does everyone have this issue? Do the character models load quickly for anyone here?

This is so vindicating to hear someone else share my issue. My friend has less than a second load times to load the character model. Every streamer I've seen that I know is on PC has instant load times for character models. What are your specs?

Yeah the loadings were long even in the demo.

Not for everyone. My friend with a middle of the road PC with so-so DDR4 RAM gets his character models popping in at such a fast rate I could count the frames it takes. Meanwhile I counted to 12 seconds before Paul popped in.

Mine take a moment to load as well. I just thought it was normal. Might be tied to UE5 and high resolution images. Because the T8 character select is still miles faster than the MK1 select.

I have a 4090, SSD, ryzen 5950x. When I played the demo, I crashed a lot, so before even loading the game for the first time, I turned on administrator mode and windows 8 compatibility. I didn't have any crashes, but it stuttered slightly. Might have just been the shaders loading. I'm going to disable administrator mode and I will keep the windows 8 compatibility and I'm going to try again to see if it's any better.

Yeah your computer blows mine out of the water. If this was a performance/hardware issue I could hold the L and save up for something faster, but that doesn't seem to be the case...

Load times are fine. Graphics are 2x better than Tekken 7 and still loads faster than Tekken 7 for me with just a normal SSD.

It's bizarre, I've tried it on both a SATA SSD and an NVME SSD. It literally makes no difference whatsoever.

I just tested without compatibility mode. Still super slow. At least 5 seconds per character. however at some point Kuma and Panda loaded almost instantly. They didn't at first, but after being in the versus menu a while, they loaded almost instantly. But no other character would do that....really strange....

Yeah, I can confirm. Both Panda and Kuma immediately load in for me as well.

Whatever issue I'm having, it seems like you might be having it too.

30 seconds for me to load a match in arcade battle. My pc sucks, but not this much... I have a Ryzen 2600 an RTX 1050 8gb and 8gb of ram (i know i know i have to buy more ram). My pc is low tier but i think this is too much.
