There's a couple of things you can try:
Thanks so much Fred 🙂 .. it was the strangest thing but...okay so when I generated my Inquisitor I used mods for her appearance... tried reinstalling the game back onto the original SSD drive where I was happy with the speed of the loading screens and loading screens were still going slow.. frustrated, I tried disabling the mods and... not only are loading screen speeds back to normal, my Inquisitor still looks the same appearance wise despite the mods being disabled..I have no idea how I got that lucky but looks like the problem has been solved 🙂 ..
A few tips for anyone who comes across this thread (I've noticed even if one is not part of a forum per se a forum thread relating to your problem can still come up during a google search when one is trying to troubleshoot)
- if you happen to have Acronis True Image installed use that to your advantage..I foolishly went the "safe way" (in my mind anyways) and uninstalled then reinstalled the game.. very time consuming, if you restore from an Acronis image you created then boot off Acronis's bootable system restore CD that speeds things up a lot ... in my case I wouldn't have had to mess with the mods to begin with after reinstalling the game if I'd just used the Acronis product I already had (I guess I just thought it would be safer to reinstall the game).
- be careful when "upgrading" to a new ssd drive, don't just assume that because the drive is newer you will get better performance ... the Hyundai I upgraded to , turns out it's actually WORSE than my several year old Intel SSD drive (technical details don't make sense to me to be honest :P but the kind folks at the tom's hardware forum explained the Hyundai was DDRAMless or something like that which evidently affects gaming performance)... so even if it costs a bit more, do the google research, say "cheap SSD drives for gaming" .. mind you even the cheapest SSD drive is still better than a "normal" non SATA drive for gaming so if that's all that's within your budget (I foolishly bought the Hyundai on sale for $17 thinking it would be an upgrade) and your game is currently installed on a non SSD drive then by all means give it a try.
