Horrendous loading times.

[congrae]

Game installed on 500gb SSD, it takes 3-4 minutes to get into hub area and around same time to load story or multiplayer, even alt+f4 takes forever. Whats wrong with this game? Snowrunner that i believe uses same engine is installed on HDD and it take 1 minute to get into gameplay. No other game i played in recent years was this slow, even flawed Last of us remake didn't had this problem, not to mention better optimized games.

I have slow loads too. My boyfriend doesn't. IDK why yet.

Hmm do you mean you're using a NVMe or a sata ssd drive? Ideally you want to be using NVMe which is usually 20-30% faster loading than a normal ssd.

better optimised games? what isn't optimised on this game, the engine is a dream, no stutters, no frame drops no matter how full the screen gets with nids! As for loading times, they're a combo of loading from your SSD and also connecting to their live service. Try an m.2 drive maybe. I have mine on a 3 1TB SSD RAID0, which is about 3x faster than a single SSD, and around half the speed of an older m.2 drive, I don't have long loads, I haven't timed them but I haven't really noticed them, so I would say well under a min. Only time I've noticed it is loading multiplayer game and getting stuck on the infinite "joining server" that's a known bug atm.

20-30%? sure let's just make up numbers.

I would check and see if you have the game installed on an SSD. I didn't know what one was, found out what it was, saw my computer had one, moved all files there and it fix pretty much all my issues.

Yep. Funny how SpaceMarine 1 was back in the game advertised as a revolutionary game which never uses loading screens because it was one of the first games which built the loading screens into cutscenes or sequences where the control was taken from the player and you watched a transition scene.

and here we are years later with the same IP and loading screen watching is our newest hobby.

Than you are lucky my friend. But way too many people have performance issues just to call it a marginal error. The game runs like crap on too many configurations. And the fact that i too can not get a framerate higher than 59 is just laughable. And I too run it on an nvmi with 32GB Ram on an RTX4070

What's actually the point of this comment, just to be rude? If you know better why not give a more accurate answer?

or dont makje sucha ♥♥♥♥ load system on a game where its not needed. shouldnt be a long load time in between missions on the campaign or operations or even cutscenses. its poor developement of a game

The only thing retained from the first game is the IP and some of the characters - whole completely different dev studio etc, and they're not going to be reusing ANY part of a 13 year old game

[dodolf <3]

i can only play offline very good but why cant it load the game when im online... its horrible to see dat all the progression i did is just lost cuz all is erased when u play offline i dont even know i gouht a season pass this is just an heresy where even Horus woud be jalous of.Can the developpes please put a connection button in the game when ur offline so all people can skip an infinete ammount of time waiting

and the devs were too incompetent to use the same kind of loading system? gotcha. this is why dei hiring practices and Sarkeesian are one of the reasons the industry is ruined

My point was, if you don't know, which is evident, why mention a meaningless and wrong number? the older m.2 drivers are around 7x a sata SSD, the newer ones are double that, but you could have just got away with saying "way faster"

[dodolf <3]

i can only play offline cus when i turn the wifi button on ive to wait an infinite amount of time where its written ressource loading and it never ends can somone please help meh cus i already lost all my progression in Operation mode

I suppose my vague answer was a bit silly. It does matter what you're comparing after all.

The example I read was this, "if a game that takes 30-40 seconds to load on a SATA SSD it might load in 10-20 seconds on an NVMe SSD."

I apologise for being misinformed and for not being clear. I decided to read more about it now and look up some bench marking tests. Always fun to learn something new. I hope you don't get into too many arguments online though because you could have been more polite and be less snarky about it.
