12+ minute Load Times?
I am having an issue where my load times seemed to have increased when I have removed 70+ mods. At first I thought is was because I had prepatcher installed, but after doing some testing the difference was only about 1 minute quicker without prepatcher.
The only mods i have added right before the issue started was
Better Surgery: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2986469522
Vanilla Psycasts Expanded - Hemosage: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2990596478
Invisible Conduit: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1190364506

Logs:
With Prepatcher: https://pastebin.com/H23DxPSL
Without Prepatcher: https://pastebin.com/YXFKG3dc

I recommend you run RimPy with the texture optimizer it can be found on github and is able to reduce load times up to 50% you will need the workshop mod Graphics + though. Invisible conduits is just xml patches and better surgery may be similar the only outlier is Vanilla Psycasts Expanded - Hemosage. But before saying that's the issue you should really look into what mods updated recently, one mod you should be wary of is the holograms mod as it has hundreds to thousands of textures which can seriously increase load times and may also increase your ram usage dramatically.

One last thing is to see if you've switched from compressed textures in the options to uncompressed or the opposite.

So my game is back to loading normally now. I'm not sure what it was since I did 2 different things. One was reinstalling the game through rimpy, and the other was removing dragons descent form my active mods.
