Does this game still have long load times?

[Alpha-Zulu]

I played it several months ago and returned it because the loads times were just unbearable. Has that issue been fixed?

No, certainly not for me. Installed on an SSD the game only takes a few seconds to load.

Load times are an issue for me, on a computer that is not top-of-the-line but can otherwise run the actual game perfectly fine. Each load takes 3-5 minutes.

I have an NVMe SSD(PCIe 4), and I still get maybe 20 second load times when fast traveling/moving between sectors.

Nothing really bad, but not what I'd consider good either.

[Chickenhead]

my load times are about 6 seconds

Invest in a SSD

The game crashed during a load screen... that was one long wait, to get set back to where I was.

My PC is 10 years old, only added an extra 8GB of ram and changed my GPU once and the game still load damn fast. Steam and games are installed on an HDD!

nope not for me I have it on a pcie drive and it loads up in less than a minute. The longest load time is loading from death takes a bit longer.

Read on then internet that using Alt-Tab during the loading screen would work around the issue. Seems to work for me.

There's no heavy HDD light activity during the loading process. Tried both HDD and SSD. Not much difference in either scenario.

It's loading within a few seconds for me. Not sure why I should alt-tab, seems like more an issue on some configs.

I installed the game to 2.5inch SSD. Loading time may depends on which DirectX version used.
On my PC, first loading time is
DirectX11: 1minute 20 seconds
DirectX12: 14 seconds
However, DirectX12 has texture blurry issue. If you don't mind this, use DirectX12.

Dahell?

10 seconds or so loading time on DX11 on my PC using an HDD.

That's weird!

How does one choose the DirectX version in game?

Or does we need to manually start the game exe that correspond to the correct DirectX version?

The prices between SSD and NVMe are almost the same. Skip SSD and move to NVMe.
