Extremely Slow Loading?

[Choopah Cobbler]

I am unsure if this is supposed to go with the bugs discussion but ive found that everything in this game loads very slowly.
Going between screens in the menu takes upwards of 2 minutes or more and it took more than 10 minutes to get the cutscene to load (lovely cutscene though like wow,)
But ive been waiting for 12 minutes for the actual game scene to load and ive had no dice.
I have an alienware x51 and i have had no loading game issue like this before, is there anything i can do to remedy it? all my playtime in this game has been devoted soley to getting the game itself to work

That doesnt seem normal.

I used to get a slight delay when transitioning between areas. But that was due to my old AF hard drive. Now I'm using an SSD, that immediately fixed that problem. But still, even back then that delay was a minor thing, not present at all times, just sometimes.

The x51 is a Mini PC from what I've gathered. The game is CPU heavy, but you should be way above the requirements anyways. Maybe try re-downloading the game, or maybe starting it from the steam folder instead of the steam overlay? That fixed a loading issue for me in Stalker Call of Prypiat at another time.

I gave both of those things a try but to no avail, there was no apparant change in loading times at all. I even tried running the game as administrator which gave me the same results as my other attempts, which is no dice at all. Could there be any other potential solutions possibly or might this be a problem with hardware possibly? ? I've heard the game has issues with windows 7 OS and i do use windows 7 but i dunno how much of a culprit that issue might be with the game.

Hmm I'm going through the big update now. Getting some strange frame skipping or stuttering at times. Never had that before and its kind of annoying.

[Choopah Cobbler]

Ohh really? Thats a shame! :c It really has not done that before even with your old drive?

114 minutes of fiddling with the game in the start menu alone and seeing anything possible that might be wrong and ive found nothing still, some interesting things though.
When the text in the corner says "Loading..." and i have used the save file that apparantly is a workaround the supposed crash that some users experienced, i checked the program with the resource manager and it says that it is apparantly running optimally and this baffles me. I waited easily more than 10 minutes, likely about 12 or 14, and the game never opened into the full game.. Ive been finding this frustrating and upsetting because i dont have a darn clue why its doing this, i have the system requirements and above and beyond them with what my computer has and yet it does not run.

Okay i dont know how but through time ive gotten the menu to be slightly better, but after the cutscene went through i have been waiting for 18 minutes for the actual game to load and it hasnt finalized yet, does anyone know how to fix this loading issue?

Any luck? Having the same problem

[Choopah Cobbler]

No i haven't yet sadly, its been a frustrating venture and ive been trying to get contact from the devs, they provided me a potential soution (flat mode) but that only worked for the menu, the actual game itself hasnt been able to load so far.

Same thing here! after the tutorial, and hibernate, it enters a gray screen of loading, and it stays like this forever.
Has anyone managed to fix this? Help please I want to play!

For me, its loading the third cycle. I don't know why it happens, but it's loading, still responding but i cant do anything.
I can still open the steam overlay and it's not frozen. The loading just never stops
