Quetzalkoatl Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 In 2.5.3 my mission used to load around 3 minutes max. When 2.5.4 came out it started to load for around 9-10 minutes even though I didn't change my graphic settings for higher. It basically looks like that: -it takes 3 mins to load to part "World Preload 60/60" -then like +6 to 7 additional minutes spent on final "Please wait..." It became a bit frustrating :cry: I had 2.5.4 open beta installed for some time - just when it got released... and it didn't have that problem then. So I have no clue what could cause it.

Aluminum Donkey Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Are you running it off a hard disk? Or are you using an SSD? SSD is an absolute must for DCS World. A fast NVMe drive is great, although a SATA SSD should still be pretty good. I fairly recently got an NVMe drive, and loading times are merciful in 2.5.4 OB, but still no screaming hell. I guess DCS just has an awful lot of shyte to shovel when loading missions. I remember when I got my cheap SATA SSD and DCS 1.5 would load in the blink of an eye :) AD Kit: B550 Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5800X w/ Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE, 2 x 16GB Kingston Fury DDR4 @3600MHz C16, Gigabyte RTX 3070 Windforce 8GB, EVGA SuperNova 750 G2 PSU, HP Omen 32" 2560x1440, Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS fitted with Leo Bodnar's BU0836A controller. --Flying is the art of throwing yourself at the ground, and having all the rules and regulations get in the way!

Vitormouraa Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Indeed, got SSDs a few weeks ago, what a huge difference! No 10 minutes loadings and stutterings. SplashOneGaming Discord https://splashonegaming.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitMaster Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 You must not use DCS in conjunction with a HDD, it's a Sakrileg. If you do so, you will without a doubt, punish yourself. kidding aside, DCS is one of the few apps I know that REALLY need SSD speed to work as intended.

Gat0 Loc0 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I can also vouch for the absolute necessity of a SSD. NVME will give best results, but SATA III will still be a mind-blowing improvement over a HDD. It's really no longer a viable option to use a HDD for DCS any more.

Worrazen Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I can't say for certain since I have Release and only ran acouple of times but I think yes it was a bit longer, even tho not that much that stuck in my mind, I'll try again now.
