The relatively long load times were starting to become a bother. I looked for some solutions online.
Step 1: Access Secret Experimental Settings
Boot up the game.
Hold down CTRL+ALT as you click on Settings button in main menu
You should see a new option labeled ‘The rest’ at the bottom.
Click on ‘The rest’ to bring up all the extra experimental settings.
Step 2: Enable some settings
The first setting is in “other settings” section, called
cache-prototype-data
Set it to true/click the box to toggle it on
The second setting is in " Graphics settings" section, called
cache-sprite-atlas
Note: The developers recommend turning sprite texture quality to normal/medium in regular graphics settings before enabling this. It will create a big multi gigabyte file on your computer.
Set it to true/click the box to toggle it on.
Step 3: Restart the game two or three times
Watch the magic happen.
But if the game doesn’t take 5 minutes to load when am I supposed to say goodbye to my family and grab the last thing I am going to drink that day?
Long loading times? How long does it take to load your game?
About 30-45 seconds before with about half of that being loading in sprites, 10-15 seconds now. The game is loaded on an old spinning disk hard drive not the new fast SSD or NVMe drives
Super useful, thanks for sharing!
