Loading time on SSD

[LowRangTopRampag]

Very long loading on the NMVE SSD. The initial load at the start of the game is about 3.5 minutes. Loading in the game itself (loading the world) takes 2 minutes.
There are about 10 games installed on this disk, there are no problems. The computer is HI-END. According to the windows 11 task manager, there is practically no load on the disk and processor. What could be the problem?

Sounds like an issue on your end. It just took me less than 2 minutes from pressing Start on Steam to my save loaded in game.

OTOH, mine is on an M2 - don't know how much of a difference that makes.

M2 is just the form factor and there are 2 basic types, one is a traditional SATA and has the same speeds as a SATA SSD 2.5" drive and the other is the much faster NVMe

Mine took 1:13 to load into the game world on a Gen 4 NVMe drive but I'm on the Ubisoft version so I don't have the delay for Steam to start and hand it over to the Connect app and I'm still on Windows 10 which may or may not be a factor.

Are you running the game from the same drive as Windows? That may actually slow things down if Windows is also trying to access the drive at the same time as the game.

Hey LowRangTopRampag,

Thank you for your message and sorry to hear it Assassin's Creed Odyssey takes that much time to launch on your PC.

That sounds a bit to excessive, I believe. Odyssey usually take a bit more time compared to other games, but 3.5 minutes seems to much.

For a test, try moving the game to a different SSD drive, if you have another one in your PC.
Perhaps it will help it.

Have you tested what read-write and latency speeds you get on this NVME?
There are benchmark apps available online, free to use.

I have 2 ssd drives, both nvme. I tried it on an ssd where Windows is. the result is exactly the same. linear speed rw 6.7GB/sec , random 4kq1 block rw 85MB/230 MB

Pressed play, it opened Ubisoft connect and loaded my game, 2 mins. Using normal hard drive. Keep spending your money on those fast SSDs people :)

Troll of the year, give him a medal RIGHT NOW !

Another thing you should be aware of is your network/internet speed can affect startup times because the game loads some information from the Connect servers on every startup so if your network/Internet is having problems "talking" to the Connect servers there will be a delay

[LowRangTopRampag]

@Ubi-Vinci
Is there any way to enable debugging information or logs? to see what is being loaded, maybe which connections to the servers are responding for a long time or something like that?
