Loading time

[Thatrius]

Hi,
I have noticed that the loading process takes extremely long. As it stands, I am having to wait 30+ minutes just to switch from one world to another; and while I enjoy the game enough to wait that long, it is rather inconvienient. Is there something I could do to speed up the loading time? Or is my computer just a dinosaur?
Thanks!

30 + minutes to switch world isn't normal.. i've never timed my loading times, but for sure i switch worlds in less than 1 minute (with a 6 year old pc) and with my gf notebook (not properly a gaming machine) it take some more time, but maybe 1 or 2 minutes..
If you play the game from a lot of time, maybe you have also a big number of worlds and then the folder with savegames became too big to manage for your pc.. in that case, just delete some worlds..

Actually, it did this before I put my Early Access worlds in, so I don't think it could be the excess data. My PC I bought last year (it's a Lenovo with Windows 10), but I'm not sure about the processing power, so it could be related to that. It it possible I installed LEGO Worlds incorrectly?

30 sounds excessive. I'm on PS4 and when I switch to a bigger world it takes usually between 3 and 5 minutes.

You can try to uninstall and do a fresh installation, but with steam there's no much room for a wrong installation..
For sure knowing you pc model/specs can help to understand more, but then i have another question: you got this abnormal loading time, but when a world is loaded, all works fine, or you got also low fps, freeze and/or other problems?

For example, talking again of my gf notebook and saying again that isn't so recent and not properly a gaming notebook, when playing in big worlds the notebook suffer a little with some fps drops, but anyway as already said, the worlds loading time is around 1 or 2 minutes (and for me is already a long time because with my own pc it take a lot less time..)
What i mean is that is really strange if you need to wait so long to load a worlds, but when inside all works without any problem.. otherwise, if also inside a worlds you encounter low fps, freeze etc, maybe something in your pc cause a bottleneck.. (CPU, GPU, RAM...)

Your PC is not in cause. This is a known bug a lot of people encounter on a lot of different specs, even the best gamer PCs.

Im somewhat sorry to say that all my worlds load in seconds, heck i get from menu to ingame in under 10 seconds. So its definatlly hardware related. (i got me a ton of fast ram, wich i think is the cause for me not seeing this problem at all)

The fact is there is something in the space vortex animation that self-exhaust the game on some settings (especially on W10 x64, it seems).

Wow! I actually have considered the vortex animation as a source of the stall, but disarded the idea as it seemed it was simply a GIF image (I began to see patterns after a while of looking into the hypnotic, swirling hole). I guess I was wrong, though. I'll try lowering the graphics options, and see how fast it goes from there. Thanks!

What's outrageous here is devs don't seem to give a stud about that, not even a word on this forum to say they are aware. Thinking about buyers that will take it for gambreaking and could ask a refund... only after playing world one, encounter the bug to world two, think of a first-load trouble, play world two, getting aware of the bug... all that in two hours, else they get scammed of their money.

Bumping this thread, and also because of how much I love the phrase "Don't give a stud."
