Fast Travel
I'm finding that fast travel takes minutes vs seconds which seems ridiculous. I heard that this was an actual bug back in the day and someone on Reddit mentioned that their was a work around by setting something around "time" to default. I looked around in my settings as well as the launch settings to no avail. Any thoughts? Also distance doesnt seem to be a factor either.

How exactly do you mean?

Do you mean "minutes in real time while you wait for the game to load"?

Or "minutes in the game clock"?

Because long load times are part and parcel for this game if you're running specific hardware or configurations.

The game requires a cap of 60 fps. If you're trying to run the game outside of 60 fps, it may be why you're having SOME issues. If you're on an SSD that also may have an effect because there's a fix for long load times that is designed specifically for ssd users (though would then invalidate your achievements unless you add THAT mod.)

Well, the game clock advances at 20 times real life speed by default, so even when teleporting (instead of just regular fast travel) it passes minutes of time once you complete the fade out and fade in at your destination. Regular fast travel takes much longer, since it advances the game clock by however long it would take to walk the distance (typically hours).

If that's the issue (rather than loading times), you'd have to change it with a console command: "set timescale to x" (where x is the multiplier for normal time, so setting it to 1 would make game days pass at real-world speed). But while you can change it, it's perfectly normal for game clock to advance at x20 speed, since it's a game, and when you're not talking about loading "fast travel" is only intended to be fast from the player's perspective.

Yeah, I know, I'm just wondering whether they're angry that the in game time isn't 'instant teleport' or if they're actually having slow loads.

That's nice, what does it have to do with this thread?

there is more than one measure of strength. i recomend a hydralic press or various fire arms and explosives to see how much it can take

Let's also not forget to check how strong it is compared to habaneros and ghost peppers.

Disable V-Sync in-game to stop the long load times.
Having the game on SSD also helps.
But V-Sync enabled will prolong all of the loading that occurs.

Get a mod called Load Accelerator.

Hows that done...at launch or in the game with settings?

In the launcher settings.
