Could you please say what you mean with long load time? **Edit: Sorry, got it 10-20 min.**

I’ve tested it on 4 different drives, from hdd to nvme ssd.

> Just to throw some values into the room: On my normal sata ssd it takes about 45 seconds from klicking play to menu (skip the intro). On my “fast” nvme ssd it takes about 35 seconds and on my “slow” hdd it takes about 4:30 min !!! Yokes might be right it will be some unpacking or check sum calc. What I can see on my hdd, windows tells me something about 20MB/s, so there must be some very IO intense operations, that is the point where hdd sucks and ssd rules. Put Phoenix Point on your ssd, …

The difference between sata ssd and nvme ssd are only few seconds and between fast nvme ssd and very fast nvme ssd are really really low. So it doesn’t scale that much at some point.

If you say it takes 1+ minute on your system with ssd it could be cpu or ram. What CPU and how much RAM you have?
