Hello guy's hope for some light at the end of the tunnel, im having an issue where changing menus from Career scenarios to Standart Scenarios and Route menus it's really slow changing from one to another its like 5sec my installation it's only about 300GB so not many dlc installed to make the game heavy/slow in the menus, yes i have RWE and Reshade installed too, would be anyone know how to solve this issue please?
Loading times depend on your storage type (HDD/SSD) and number of routes and scenarios. (Assets size is irrelevant). The bigger your scenario database cache is the longer it takes to load the Drive menu tabs. You can speed up menu loading by moving the folders of routes you don't play often to a backup location (Content\Routes\{GUID})
Ah i see i thought i did had to much clutter on my Assets folder hence was to slow loading and slow on my menu's, my content/route file had only around 5 to 6 routes and i tried different thing's and nothing worked, the only thing I didn't try was do a file verify so was really wierd even know i unistall the game left all my Assets folder and installed the core game again and this didn't work either so not sure why it stayed really slow even know i done a fresh install of the core game.
As each scenario only loads the assets it needs (specified in RouteProperties.xml and ScenarioProperties.xml), a huge asset library won't slow down your system - there is one exception though: The QD Custom Consist Builder, which reads every single .bin file in your Asset folder for creating a cache file (RVDBCache.bin). Using a second install (which I switch to by renaming the RailWorks folder), tabbing through the Drive menues on a fresh install containing 4 routes, there's no delay at all.
Do you have a lot of train DLC you don't have the routes for? Or possibly workshop? The game finds and caches the scenarios even if the route itself isn't there. They show when filtering by title. My own menu is around 20-30 seconds. I'm very confident it's an issue with populating the grid. (If you filter by title and switch around, it is fast. It also shouldn't crawl files at that point. It's petty amounts of data. First 64bit was faster.) Ultimately, the game is designed around having 10 DLC tops. Not just performance, also the layout. By the way, in some cases disks can be super slow. My old SSD was sometimes down to below 1 MBps (must never fill above 75%), but also my fancy new Win11 laptop takes 4 seconds to load a screenshot.
Well route wise i have about 4 freeware and 1 Just trains but the 4 freeware routes does require quite a lot payware routes which i only install the assets folder, i just re-install the game and routes at the moments only about 250gb into the game and menus are start to struggle again so no idea where my problem is at the moment still need to investigate why im getting really slow/laggy menus which i never ever had before
