No big deal, I just want to have my cake and eat it too by avoiding all spoilers and still spending way too much time in this thread. Also, LOL at the innuendo.blahblah...blah said:Apologies. I figured some might consider them spoilers, but they're really not that significant so I didn't bother. Will keep it in mind for next time, though!
And seriously, someone tell me how to get into Jensen's. This was not intended to sound like such an innuendo."hidey-hole"
From what people were saying yesterday they seem to be just as bad regardless of how fast your HD is.DennisK4 said:Are the loading times bad on a SSD as well?
Anyone here have the game installed on a fast SSD?
I have a 120 gb Intel SSD. The load times are kinda on the long side. It's weird, because I could have sworn they were about half this in the leak build.DennisK4 said:Are the loading times bad on a SSD as well?

Are you lost and confused?Lostconfused said:Great, I just got my self stuck on some air conditioners and have no Idea how to get the hell out of this trap.

Oh, it's unfortunate everyone's having the same problems. At least that way someone might come up with a solution.dark10x said:Yes. It's extremely common and seems to be an inherent flaw in the way the game was coded.
Yes, I'm using a fast SSD and it takes 20-25 seconds to load (timed). Many people are seeing screens last twice as long, however, and that includes some other SSD users.DennisK4 said:Are the loading times bad on a SSD as well?

Sounds like patching time, soon!dark10x said:Yes, I'm using a fast SSD and it takes 20-25 seconds to load (timed). Many people are seeing screens last twice as long, however, and that includes some other SSD users.
However, as I've noted, the game is not accessing the drive during loading screens. It appears to be sitting there idle (CPU usage is low, memory usage is under 1GB, and SSD is going unused).
Wait, so you're playing without v-sync at all? Unacceptable for me and many others.coopolon said:Just in case anyone here isn't checking the Steam forum, one tip klkitchens found there was to turn off vsync completely in your GPU control panel. For Catalyst Control Center that meant going to Gaming, and turning Wait for Vertical Refresh all the way to the left to Always Off, not to "Off unless application specifies." For me this dropped my loading times from 40-50s to 20s, which still isn't great but a lot more manageable than 50s. This despite the fact that I had vsync turned off both in the in-game menu and in the out of game set up menu.
Still hope other issues are at play here that will be discovered and help drop the load times even more.
I have to be honest - this actually makes me feel a bit better about the load times on 360. I had it installed to the HDD, and my load times are the same as yours.dark10x said:OK, I'm very disappointed with the performance in this game.
The loading times are still lengthy (20-25 seconds) and there is additional hitching/skipping that occurs which was not present in the preview build.
Thanks. Gonna try that.coopolon said:Just in case anyone here isn't checking the Steam forum, one tip klkitchens found there was to turn off vsync completely in your GPU control panel.

Interesting that it would impact loading, though.
Seriously. Loading on consoles is the same or faster than most PC users right now.eshwaaz said:I have to be honest - this actually makes me feel a bit better about the load times on 360. I had it installed to the HDD, and my load times are the same as yours.
Yeah, very nice of them of them to artificially extend PC loading time to level the playing field!eshwaaz said:I have to be honest - this actually makes me feel a bit better about the load times on 360. I had it installed to the HDD, and my load times are the same as yours.

They're pretty horrific on my PC.bob page said:Are the loading times even that bad? To be honest, I've barely noticed them. Maybe that's because I just got done with New Vegas, but I can name several games off-hand that have worse loading times than this (pertaining to 360, not PC).
Wow, that seems really short compared to most of the times I've seen in reviews and such. Did you spend much time doing side missions or just exploring or did you basically critical-path it? Does anyone know if there is a timer anywhere on the console versions of the game?Aon said:Beaten! Total of 18 hours I think. What a fantastic ride.
And every one, stick around for after the credits, MGS style. They carry it out with such damn aplomb.
That is so out of line with what everyone else has been saying. There's just no way...Confidence Man said:Mine don't take that long and I don't have a SSD. Around 10 seconds.

Could you perhaps take a stop watch to them? I'm genuinely curious as I've yet to talk with anyone getting sub 20 second loading screens regardless of hardware.Confidence Man said:Mine don't take that long and I don't have a SSD. Around 10 seconds.
Yeah I know but not this one, unfortunately. It's one of those things that just bothers me way more than it should.JaseC said:Some games attach it to the save data (e.g. Assassin's Creed).
Heavy said:Mission 1 stuff:
Where is the black guy's wife? In the hostage room if you talk to the black guy after saving them he says his wife is still being held hostage in an office or something and I can't fucking find that office despite the arrows on the signs pointing the way. GOTY, btw.
Finish the mission and you'll see.Heavy said:Mission 1 stuff:

first loading for the intro was close to a minute. after that it's been less than 10 seconds which is good. then again i didn't finish mission 1 yet lol.bob page said:Are the loading times even that bad?

Yes, that would be awesome. Even better if you could upload to Youtube.Confidence Man said:I've been taking mental note of how many seconds are passing. I can try and record it in fraps if you want.
Lmao, I'm in the same boat. Been playing New Vegas on 360 an insane amount the past few weeks, and am now going straight into this, so HR's loads are barely noticeable for me.bob page said:Are the loading times even that bad?

Yeah I looked there as well, no luck. I don't know what it is exactly but it just drives me crazy playing a game (especially a longer one) and not knowing how much time I've put into it. Not quite crazy enough for me to keep track myself, though.JaseC said:Oh, boo. (And by 'save data' I meant the save file itself, as stored on the console, in case that wasn't clear. I just noticed it could have come across as 'the save data you see in the load/save menu'.)
Try adjusting the mouse sensitivity for X and Y. I think lowering them helped me, at least for X acceleration.Jintor said:Anyone have a solution for the horrendous mouse sensitivity/acceleration?
lowhighkang_LHK said:How is the difficulty?
I don't want to be frustrated, but in a game that offers so many options id like to be semi required to use them.
So normal or hard? Is normal a pushover?
