Load times in Unity RPGs

[King Crispy]

It's tricky to get it to work correctly, but it made a very nice difference for me once I figured it out.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I also used the "Swapchain Management" option in Special K's Control Panel:

I'm glad there are fixes for some people, but the best solution would be if the devs optimize their shit. I haven't had FPS issues with the PoEs, but Deadfire's loading times were unbearable. That's actually the thing that made me consider an SSD, the desire to finish a game this century.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. And just to be clear: my sole residual issue is micro-stuttering every 30-45 secs. Everything else runs smoothly.

I only have this problem with recent Unity games. Since I mostly play games from at least 10+ years ago or indie stuff like AoD, UnderRail, ToME, CoQ and so on, it never bothered me enough to get one. But I received a gift card and decided to get with the times in preparation for Kingmaker 2. But like I said, this is conspicuously only a problem with Unity games. PoE, Tranny had terrible loading times too, Kingmaker sorta. Other recent-ish games either have only a single loading screen (AoW3 for example) or load a huge area which doesn't have loading screens every 10 seconds (D:OS). But both AoW3 and D:OS load very fast either way.

load times in Expeditions Viking can be pretty long as well.

Bloody entitled millennials!



Try playing RPGs on a C64 with a single 5 1/4" floppy drive some time! Going from the world map to a city map could easily take 1 minute+ and you had to physically flip the disc over on top of it. Nothing worse than waiting for the world map to load and then realizing you forgot to buy something in the city and have to repeat the whole painful process.

Ok, there were floppys, then cds, then dvds... The cycles is repeating and turning round 'n' round. When will this endless cycle end once and for all?

I have never used the CD/DVD reader on my current PC.
