Drop pod fall at mission start

[MiroKa_Sult]

I saw some videos on YouTube where when you start a mission you will fall in your drop pod and be able to steer it, but for some reason when I start the mission I just load instantly and that’s really ruining an immersion for me. So, maybe there is a setting that skips that sequence and I just don’t see it or something else?

I think it has something to do with load times. If one of your squad have a potato, that's what happens.

Sounds like a load time thing to me.

Then again, I always host my own missions to avoid the Payday 2-esque groundless kicking crowd. So I never had that happen.

Do you have the game on a SSD? This for sure loading issue

Quite the opposite. I have old PC and it never skips pod scene for me but when i watch people play on good hardware usually they would load in with pod already on ground as OP says.

I play solo and my pc is actually quite decent, so loading doesn’t take more than 5-10 seconds, so this issue is pretty strange

thats because the game basically forces them to land on the ground when one of the squad doesnt have an SSD; the entire segment with the drop sequence gets cut because its already technically running. You just dont get to choose where you land because the one guy with the HDD has to use that time to load in with the rest of the squad

I have never seen a difference between when it loads quickly and when it takes forever for someone to load. It usually loads fairly quickly but I have been in a few games before, where I thought it was broken. Regardless I always load in and fall from the sky.

So quick update, this issue is not what everybody thinks it is. Yes, it does depend on the loading time, BUT it is for some reason skips the "cutscene" if you load too quickly, and the longer you load the more of "cutscene" you will see.

It's not a cutscene when you are steering the pod. The only cutscene is when you first start the mission and leave the ship.

I know, that why I used quotation marks

I just built a new PC 14700K + 4090 with an Nvme Gen 4 SSD and it always skips it for me.

Drop your FPS to 60 and it will stop doing that. ;)
