Why are there so many loading screens?

Yeah if you play on PC with a SSD or M.2 drive your load times will be trivial. Or you can splurge for a XB1X.

But other than launching the game and respawning there aren’t any load screens.

Don’t die or abuse the mermaid teleport and your problem is solved once in game 😝

I never mentioned the length of the loading times. Read better. I said why do we have so many loading screens.

BTW I have a XB1X.

Not sure what you’re complaining about then if you’re talking about the frequency of loading screens. Once the game is loaded there are literally no loading screens unless you die or need to mermaid teleport.

If anything IMO the time to respawn needs to increase when you die. But you’re not talking about how long it takes to respawn, just how often you need to respawn. You must just die a lot. I’ll work on reading better while you work on playing better.

@lord-of-goats totally agree on xbox might as well just load you back into the game it takes s bloody long. Forget a death timeout there is enough with the loading time lol

@jakeguy59 Again, you fail at reading. I literally listed all the loading screens I see.

Amd you don’t even understand the ask ppl have for the Ferry, You already wait for the door to open...why is there another loading screen after? Just make the wait on the Ferry the load.

I played for 3 hours straight last night and the only loading screen I encountered was when the game initially loaded. 3 hours of not seeing another loading screen. That was 3 hours of straight seamless gameplay without any loading. I am thrilled that there is so little loading. You’re complaining that there is too much? Are we even playing the same game?

Again, to cut down on the frequency of your loading screens, cut down on your dying and respawning.

Other than dying or losing your ship and needing to mermaid teleport you will not see a single loading screen while playing.

Having a loading screen during initial launch of the game is acceptable I hope. Backing out of a game will require loading the menu interface. This is standard is just about every game ever made. Some games are quicker to load during these times sure, but few games have less loading frequency than SoT.

Don’t die as much and you’ll be fine for hours on end of no loading.
