Should I put the game on my SSD?

[Anujkut]

I wanna start the preload and I'm wondering if I should do that or not, any idea?

yes always do your ssd for games

In general, an SSD only increases load time of assets. So the initial load up and depending on how scenes are lazy loaded, loading screens might be a tad faster. Overall, it won't make a major difference in gameplay or FPS so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it if you have almost no space left. If you have 80+gb free with no other use, don't see why not! You can always change it later

thanks!

Put it on the fastest drive you have.

I would do it for this one if you have the space. You can always move it latter.

You'll likely need it for performance and latency reasons. I don't think this game being on a HDD will cut it.

The only problem is that my SSD is my "C" driver, in which I have my Windows too so that sucks, I will be left with 50-ish GB free after. I might give it a try with it on SSD but hope it won't be any major updates in the next few days XD

I'm really sorry, it's nothing personal, but what sort of question it is? Do you also ask others if you should go to bathroom when you want to poop?

xd thanks for asking, if you do not want to answer or you don't have anything to do with this thread why bother joining the topic LUL

Yes SSD is usually your smaller drive devoted to the system. I have room for it there but try to limit my games so I will try HDD and if it works out I wont change if it doesn't I will reinstall on the SDD. You can always change your mind.

It's for the best with games that load a lot of high quality assets, HDD might cause stutters at best tho it should still be playable, might not be the best experience.
Some games pretty much require an SSD for optimal performance, I remember trying to play Path of Exile from a HDD, pretty much unplayable, sprites of items would take ages to load. Whenever a rare/unique mob would spawn the game would lag spike for a solid second, which in a game that requires you to react ASAP is not very ideal.
You could try HDD, see what it does and move it later if you encounter issues?

I bought an external SSD - needed the room and SSD is better for games, I believe

Good plan. Shall look into that.
