Awful Load Times!
What's going on with these load times? It always takes 4+ minutes to load into any scene, and I don't understand why. When loaded, the scene runs perfectly fine, but loading is just terrible.

The difference? I have a NVMe hard drive (a m.2 solid state hard drive connecting via that specialized pcie connection). My wife's computer uses a solid state on a sata III connection.

When updating, I'll update within seconds as well, while I have to plan for my wife's computer to update a game and give it at least 15 minutes or more to get it done.


Maybe it'll load better once they can afford the time to optimize the game, though they are literally talking about revamping every map, so now's probably not the time for that in the EA process.

However, I'd expect load times will take at least a little while depending on your computer's setup. It's not something unique to Phasmo.

Sounds like something on your end or the servers. But I have yet to have this problem, for the last year, yeah maybe on Asylum back last year. But like once or twice.

I play on an outdated laptop and can even load into Asylum in roughly a minute, so if it's taking you that long then it's most likely a client side issue.

I have nothing very constructive to add, just to say that when my brother played on this computer a year ago it would take him forever to load in (stuck at 90% loading). All normal troubleshooting me and him tried failed. When the computer came back to me I deleted all sorts of excess programs (NVidia stuff, recording software, skype, etc.) and my load times are perfectly normal. The computer has had the same hardware the entire time (HDD, not SSD) so obviously some software can interfere with Phasmophobia's load times. What exactly should be deleted I could not tell you.
