Re: Exponentially increasing loading times the longer you play a savegame!

Thanks a lot! Could you maybe check one of my own saves too, if you find time to do so? Just as reported, loading it takes 70+ sec on my current setup, traveling to the park ~55 sec, loading the home lot +70 sec again. It's best to load the van Brink's @ Whitehaven (Oakenstead).

    I can try it but there's not much I can do about it. I don't work for EA.

    I forwarded this thread so hopefully someone from EA can take a look at those.

  • It would be much appreciated! I'd really like to know how it performs for other persons that were not affected by growing loading times so far.

    Museum took 45 secs, park took 39 secs.

    So comparable to yours.

     My loading screens are getting longer and longer. At first loading screens between lots took 5-10 sec each, but now - 2 minutes. My saves are about 5,63 MB (after 2 weeks of playing Sims 4).

    Yeah, we have similar systems. I only have a 550 ti and 8 GB or RAM (I think, maybe it's 12) but that doesn't matter since the game can only use 4 anyways.

    Also same size save games as mine. EA needs to work on those loading screens.

    DId you check how far the RAM usage goes up on the loading screens ?

    Memory usage is about 4,9/15.9 (30%). And I've a bug where two songs start playing at once and then continue into gameplay after exiting loading screens.

    It seems my problem gone with the latest patch. Now loading screens take about  25-35 seconds.

  • I'm currently using a different gaming system and load times are about 50% shorter, because of the really fast SSD setup (raid 0, maxing @ 1GBs read write). I will have access to the other rig tomorrow, then I'm going to check if the patch did improve the situation.

  • @crinrict I just tried, no improvement, home lot = 80 sec, park =55 sec, still.
