Crazy long loading times on a SSD

[Threxi0n]

No, I'm not talking about the shader pre cache stage. Every loading screen takes several minutes, despite being on a SSD. And yes all hardware is above recommended specs

That's the shaders loading right?

Yep. Welcome to Unreal Engine 5.

Shader compiling? I assume it's internal ssd, not some external version. If external, don't use that...

As for shader, only compiled one long time for me when I first launched game, and a much shorter one when first entering albion, then it's just normal loading screen.

No I don't mean the shaders loading, I mean every single loading screen in the game is taking like 3+ minutes. Full disclosure, It's actually my friend having the issue, and have just been trying to find answers for them. My game loads within seconds so I have no idea what's truly going on, considering their rig is well above recommended spec as well. And issues with the game aren't even the fault of Unreal 5, as there are plenty of UE5 games that work flawlessly. This is a dev issue, if anything. Devs just don't know how to use their tools properly.
