Insane loading times
While playing mass effect 1 on legendary edition, I have lots of fps drops but the real problem is the loading times, Everytime I launch a new zone I have to wait like 1minute (if not more) And somet...
I've thought about that, It would be very difficult since most of the stuff on my main drive is important but yeah, if nothing is working, a new installation on it could be a possibility.
But it would be kinda strange, beause I've installed a lot of games on my external hard drive and had no problem (old and recent games)...
Is it only on ME1 or have you tried 2 or 3. ME1 is old, so the file structures maybe the problem, especially if the increased the texture but retained the old format.
I haven't tried yet, since I didn't want to be spoiled by playing too much of the other two games, I'll give it a try.
OK ! I've tried the prologue of mass effect 2 (and a bit of walking in the normandy) and it seems to work far better than me1, the loading screens are really decent and there are maybe just a little bit of stuttering while doing auto/quick saves but nothing unusual. So yeah, the problem comes from me1 !
Good so at least we know 2 & 3 are most likely fine. Only thing I can think of is to relocate the files. Is the external USB 3.0, Can you try another USB port or if you have another external Drive??
