Congrats on the Cutter. Personally, I use mine as a cargo ship.

Karinka[ Have you tried shooting utilizing the turret or do you shoot from cockpit? Turret improves accuracy a lot. I will defend Scorpio, it has better survivability and much better driving stability than Scarab. Moreover, it has boom boom rocket launcher which is ideal for every ninja in galaxy

DanielFloykO7 CMDRS! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day, spending time with their loved ones and making a lot of credits!
I've come to ask a very simple question, well you see, my current PC is not very powerful to say the least, and loading ED Horizons takes a solid 30+ minutes every time I open up the game.

Which leads to the question, is there anything I can do to improve the load time? I've already optimized most of Windows and all the graphic settings in-game. But I still have to wait those very boring 30 minutes.

Have any of you guys had this issue, and if so, how did you fix it?

1. Waiting for the launcher to appear after you start the game (by double-clicking shortcut, clicking "Play" in Steam library, etc.)
2. Waiting for the client window to appear after clicking "Play" on the launcher
3. Waiting to finish preparing shaders, preparing planet generation, and load into the main menu
4. Waiting to get in-game once you hit "Continue" and choose your game mode (open, solo, etc.)

Before you get excited that I'm answering your post, I don't have this problem, sorry!

Firstly, a quick check. You do mean "30 minutes", right? Not "30 seconds"? Your post reads like you're a native or fluent English speaker, but it can't hurt to make sure

That said, I assume you've already done some googling on this, so you'll know that some people seem to have inexplicably slow load times even when running top-end hardware. I didn't see anyone reporting 30 MINUTE waits, though! Your dedication to Elite is commendable, CMDR

Starting E:D is a multi-step process. Which stage is taking so long?

1. Waiting for the launcher to appear after you start the game (by double-clicking shortcut, clicking "Play" in Steam library, etc.)
2. Waiting for the client window to appear after clicking "Play" on the launcher
3. Waiting to finish preparing shaders, preparing planet generation, and load into the main menu
4. Waiting to get in-game once you hit "Continue" and choose your game mode (open, solo, etc.)

Gatimũ KamauFor instance, would it really be so game breaking or intolerable to the hard core fanbase if FD threw us a bone and had humankind develop an in-universe advanced frame shift calculator that we could purchase for our ships that could allow for inner-system jumps if there are multiple stars? Like being able to jump from the Alpha Centauri entry star to the star near Hutton Orbital? That would save nearly an hour of playtime for those of us who have limited time on our hands. And for balancing purposes, the size 1 slot that FD added when they graced us with supercruise assist could be designated as a guidance component only slot the same way that larger ships have military component only slots. Then the player would have to choose between supercruise assist, the docking computer or the inner-system shift module. If that's not enough, then have it also be pricy. That way newbie CMDR's still have to come up the hard way like we did and go for their free Anaconda at Hutton Orbital, and by the time they have a ship that can use it and the money to buy, they will have the proper appreciation for it. And since it would be a component, old school players wouldn't have to be bothered with using it if they want to keep their experience "pure".

I'd like this, to be honest. I'd also like the ship guidance to just be toggle-able and built into all ships (not this one, but supercruise and docking assist), so people can just turn it on and off at their discretion.

Then again, I'm probably that person who would have it set up so only certain ships have different 'degrees' of guidance set up for various reasons (such as exploration ships having "all on" for roleplay reasons or large ships always having docking assist because I admittedly have some difficulty maneuvering some of them through the mailslot).

Alex Hoffmannhello DanielFloyk,

for me it sounds like slow data transfer rates, couse the games needs 30 min. to load..i dont think it's a grafic problem.

so you can optimze your pagefile a bit, usually it's set to low by windows default. i choose 8 gb for pagefile. but it depends on how much memory you have installed. ed take much ram and if you check the ed folder horizon and odyssey have around 120.000 files in there folders.. very much data to load.. what hdd you are using? i hope a ssd. if you have enough ram installed you can try to disable the pagefile complete, should be better peformance.

With all respect, but you are doing it wrong

Hey! Yup that could also be part of the issue, next time I launch ED I'll have the Task Manager open to see if it uses RAM, CPU or GPU. And no, sadly I'm using an HDD, not an SDD. Although I've considering getting one for christmas, should make things much easier.

I have about 6 RAM installed, I don't know this pagefile you're talking about, I will make some research on it.

i highly recommend a ssd. the hdd seems to be the problem i can bet. the pagefile is a system file which are outsourcing memory. it´s importent for memory management. disableing it let your pc do all task direct fromt and to the ram, without outsourcing to hdd. here´s a link how you find it Windows 10 faster.. it´s in german.. i can look for a english site if you can´t speak german.
