I've looked at the pcgaming wiki, ChatGPT, aannd... sorry OP, i got nothing.

it very likely it doesn't, but the game does load faster on an m.2 ssd.

welp that sucks since its a UE5 game and UE5 sucks with texture streaming and more, so i thought they might care about minimising stutters. but i guess not.

There are no stutters, shaders are precompiled at game start up. At worse you will see blurry or blocky textures in few places, till they fully load up. The game looks relly good and i only played on Medium settings. Now playing on Low for more fps still it looks better that a decade old Overwatch.

I'm pretty sure UE5 has its own Nvme improvements to speed up loading times and open world games, it might not be Microsoft / Xbox / Windows tech depended though. I'm pretty sure they would want something that can run on Playstation and Linux as well.

well you can run OV2 at 500fps without FG and no stutters while still looking better than MR. i know, we all hate OV, but at least we need to give them credits for their insane optimisation skills and engine.

Well I played OW for few years, and briefly OW2, I didn't like the sequel.

But you have to face the fact the both games used 10 years old engine, slightly improved for OW2.
You can run CS:GO / 2 with 600fps on modern hardware since it's so light weight on GPU.
That doesn't change the fact they looks bad compared to modern graphics.

And UE 5.0 has at least multithreaded game asset loading that take advance from Nvme protocol (many work queues), contrary to older engines and games that focuses on SATA SSDs which only allows one work queue at at time. So having DS or not is meaningless really.

yeah but UE is actually over 20+ yrs old... it was created in late 90s and still has the same issues it had back at the 90s. they just added features. thats it.
