As a matter of interest, does anyone know why the loading time on the initial PS5 load is horrendous? Bearing in mind the speed of the nvme drive/bus it's gobsmaking. My PC with a slower gen 3 nvme drive takes a fraction of the time. Any reason?
I find the length of initial time to load is largely dependant on how much DLC you have installed. As your collection grows the time to load increases, and this can also be witnessed with Train Sim Classic as well. It has to check every bit of DLC at start up, and collections can be over 100 GB. I agree that loading times in many PS5 titles is much more impressive than TSW, but TSW isn't newly built for this hardware like some of those titles have been. The TSW core was originally built in 2016, before consumer-grade SSD speeds were at the level seen in the PS5 or Xbox Series consoles. It is sometimes challenging to integrate new technology into old software without a lot of effort, especially when not everyone will benefit from those improvements. Better they focus on things that can improve the most people's experience, in my opinion.
Agreed. Just with the three core routes installed took longer for me than TSW2. The only good thing it’s the loading time doesn’t appear to have increased any further with installing up to the 64GB limit. I’m hoping the add-ons manager might help here.
Yeah takes a good while and I only have SEHS & SOS installed. I actually thought it crashed when I first started it.
The loading time is very long on PS5. I have no extra content installed on TSW3 on my PS5. I also have TSW3 on Gamepass on my Series S and the Series S loads up the game in about 10 seconds total.
