WARNING for Tarkov players

[$corched]

I recently found out that having this game installed will increase the time to load into raids on Escape from Tarkov drastically. I don't know exactly what the issue.

The reason you don't know why is because that is not a thing.

It could possibly be corrupting data by conflicting with memory and loading cycles. Only the people that coded the engines or operating systems or the updates to any of them could know that. They did all of the coding . So much of the data used is kept in memory for recall for so long until it's purged.

Or incomplete or corrupted data that isn't purging for whatever reason or conflicting with other files could be stuck, a fragment. Viruses occur because fragmented files begin corrupting or blocking data flow.

Did you learn about computers from Criminal Mind?

No, seeing it happen, many times. What's so magical about data? Usually a virus is not malware, it's just a conflict caused by Data corrupting other data via random glitches or unexpected conflicts with other data.

By criminal mind do you mean (A) criminal mind? As in invoking a virus or a crash by intentionally corrupting data flow?

That is... just not how any of that works. Black Mesa and Tarkov are completely different programs and I'm assuming OP isn't running them at the same time, there should be 0 conflict. They're not even running on the same engine so that makes no sense, the programs are calling completely different files, there would be no conflict and if there were a conflict, you would be getting errors, not long loading times.

Viruses do not come from files just randomly becoming corrupted, they're malicious bits of code that are written, they don't just randomly occur. Are you thinking of bugs or errors or something?

OP: your issue more than likely isn't being caused by Black Mesa, I'd suggest uninstalling it and seeing if there's a difference but it's more likely to be something else causing the issue.

I guess a one minute flat loading time on factory can be blamed on Black Mesa? Or one and a half minutes on shoreline? I think you need to look elsewhere, sir.

This is more on the CSI: Cyber level IMHO :-D

The exe on my computer was blocked 4 times tried everything it kept going in virus chest and wanted computer to shut down said IDP.Generic bms.exe Infected file.

So add it to the whitelist, because it is obviously a false positive.

Do you use a SSD or an HDD? How much free space do you have and what is the total size of your storage drive?

If Black Mesa did make you take a longer time to load into that game it would either be because you didn't restart your computer and your RAM needed to clear itself or you're experiencing some sort of slow down caused by filling up your hard drive. As other have said this is likely unrelated to Black Mesa.
