PSA Infinite Loading Times? Easy Nvidia CP Fix!

[GingyQueerBeard]

Harro!

Got a decent ass rig, but stuck in an infinite loading screen after the first cinematic?

Stop watching those dancing triangles and open up your NVIDIA Control Panel app,
- Navigate to the 'Manage 3D Settings' page
- Click on the 'Program Settings' tab
- Click the 'add' button
- Find Deus Ex: Mankind Divided in the list or if it's missing, click 'browse' and navigate to "Whatever Directory You Saved the Game in\steamapps\common\Deus Ex Mankind Divided\retail\DXMD.exe"
- Once added to the list, scroll down to find 'Threaded Optimization', click on the drop down menu beside it, and select 'off'
- Click 'apply' on the bottom right of the window
- Congrats, no more forever loading!

From my internet sleuthing, I deduced that this game does not like many cores.
Some folks recommended turning the cycles down in the 'Task Manager', which I'm sure works. However, folks reported that this fix required you to change the cycles on every launch... So is why I tried the NVIDIA CP route... and voila! I cans nows plays the game I paids fors.

Been replaying this and this has been so damn frustrating. Not JUST after the cinematic. It happens periodically when I a load a game. This will be a lifesaver assuming it works.

Edit: Completely fixed. Thank you.
