PC Loading Time

[DemetriX]

Greetings everyone.

I am fairly new to the game, and although some people dislike some or all aspects of the game, I find it better and more playable than some 100% finished games. However....loading times are huge, and I believe it would be amazing if in the next version you could optimize the game to a more efficient point of loading data and generating worlds. This isn't just a case with HDD, this also happens with a SSD.

In my humble opinion, optimization of loading times would be a far better improvement than implementing ANY new mechanic or reworking any of existing ones.

This only occurs the first time you start a map as it's generating the world data. It's a feature for optimization in gameplay.

*puzzled look* I have the game installed on an external HDD connected via USB 3.0 with avg read speed of 80-100mb second and I have barely any loading time in this game.

I'll do a little guessing here about my load times.

Starting game/loading to main menu about 3-6 seconds.

Loading in to an already saved game 10-20 seconds.

can't think of any other loading scenarios in this game that takes more than 1 second besides those 2.

@ZombieSurvivor You gonna tell me that if you load a randomly generated map for the first time it only takes 3-6 seconds? I highly doubt that.

512x512 would be that fast ^^. Maybe he plays on such a micromap

You mean generate? I wouldn't call that loading that is called generating. Generating a map for the very first time takes forever! lol luckily I use nitrogen now so no more long wait times to generate a map.

If you are talking about "downloading" a map when you select some random server that is up and running, that would be called downloading not loading.

My original response only responded to the ammount of "loading" time that the OP mentioned. I was not commenting on the time it takes to generate the map. I agree 100% with the OP regarding the issue of excessively long map gen time.

Starting game/loading to main menu about 3-6 seconds.

^ How in the world do you get map generating takes 3-6 seconds out of my sentence? that to me is mind boggling. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you just woke up and did not read what I posted clearly. No worries though I do that as well from time to time.
