Did they ever fix load times?

[poeteskimo]

I was enjoying POE about a year back but had to stop half way through because the load times became redonculous. I want to reinstall the game but if this problem wasn't solved I won't bother. I have a strong PC handles all other games well.

That depends on when you played; there was an issue at release that was causing save/load times to become bloated. As of the last patch or so the loading times are still way too long but bearable, especially if you have an SSD

I don't have an SSD and the load times are acceptable, though not great, something like 10-20 seconds.

I just measured with a stopwatch under V3.01, in act II with both WM's installed, starting when I pushed the "Continue" button at the main menu, and stopping when the game loaded.  It was consistently 8 seconds for me over three tries.  That's from a spinning disc (no SSD), and it was a mid-high end computer about 2 years ago.

 

Not sure if that counts as "fixed" for you or not, but there it is.

Hey poeteskimo,

 

We have definitely made a few strides to drop our load times since release. As long as you keep your save folder to a reasonable size (not 1 million saves) you should be fine.

 

I got your back
