Horrible loading times anyone?

Post » Tue Feb 16, 2016 7:14 am

I'm quite sure others have had this problem. You move INTO a building the loading time is about 5 seconds ; you move OUT of the building back to the Commonwealth and the loading time can be up to a 1.5 minutes or more!




I've already moved Fallout 4 on my Steam to my SSD drive and made sure the savegames are all ran from the same drive yet nothing changed. The same loading time, everytime i go back to the Commonwealth i get about 1.5 minute wait time which is getting quite obnoxious. Since i'm quite certain it's not the SSD/HDD problem i was wondering if there's any other fix for this. There's no reason to sometimes get normal 2-5 seconds loading screens and then sometimes get a massive 2 minute one or more.

There is no fix (that doesn't have consequences) what I know of. Since this wasn't the case before patch 1.3 and several people (including me) alerted Bethesda about it. Bethesda decided to ignore that (make you think, what's the point with an open beta if you don't listen). They claim that they fixed it, but they didn't and people have alerted Beth. about the problem. They say (now) that they are looking in to it. Hopefully they do that before people give up about the game.



So. I would say, this is bad programming. Introduced by a patch.



It shouldn't be that hard to fix - if they really wanted to.

Wow that really svcks and thank you for at least getting me up to speed with the information. It svcks to know that i just moved my Fallout 4 from HDD to SDD for nothing just because i listened to someone say that changing to SDD works. Well.. it doesn't. You were wrong sir.

Its always good to run on SSD if you can. The patch aside, the loading time between normal HD and SSD is significant. BTW long loading claimed by some does not affect everyone. No problem for me ...

That's what makes this issue strange. There are people with a "super gaming computer" that has longer loading times than me. I have a good computer. My loading times only went up to about a minute (it was 4-10 seconds before the patch).



Well, hopefully they fix the problem. They surely know how (since it was working before the patch). Hopefully they also want to fix the it.
