To whomever may be interested, I was able to significantly reduce loading times on my samsung 850 EVO SSD (from 10-20 seconds to 3-5) by doing the following: - Search for and download Samsung's magician software and install it - In Magician, verify that your OS Optimization is set to Maximum Performance - In Magician, enable RAPID mode (note that this will use some of your RAM so make sure you have enough available) - Install the latest version of IEMod from http://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity/mods/1/? and configure it as instructed. Once installed, use it to disable auto-saves (or set it to save less frequently). Hopefully that will help some others that have struggled with this issue.

Tyranny uses Unity 5 which means loading times might be improved. Fair enough. I'll probably keep an eye out on whether similar issues are reported for Tyranny and if not, I'll consider purchasing the game.

I have the same problem. In town, going in each house can take upwards to 15 seconds, then leaving the house will take even longer (>20 seconds). I tried removing old save files and using iemod to turn off autosaves but the slow loading is still there. I'm using a new gaming pc with 16 GB ram and Samsung EVO SSDs and the load times are unbearable. Tyranny inspired me to load up PoE for the first time in about a year to see if the loading screens were still a problem...I stopped playing after 5 minutes, most of which was spent on loading screens, and after seeing that Tyranny shares the same loading screens, I've decided against purchasing it. I wonder how many other potential customers are lost because of this issue.
