The first load can take some time, sadly the version of Unit the game runs on doesn't support multi-threading very well so it's not leveraged in loading times. Give it a little while, once you've booted it once it'll be quicker.

Hmmm not sure then. Could be fragmentation or degradation of the storage hardware. I've seen a case where a drive was so badly degraded it ran the load time into multiple 10s of minutes


There's not been any changes on our side since 2018 so nothing has changed about the load process in that time.


Perhaps you could try running a few checks to make sure the installation is still valid and the drive is still healthy? Otherwise maybe try installing the game to another drive and giving it a go from there. Worse comes to worse you could try backing up and deleting your user data for the game.

Hoping this got fixed for you, but due to lack of response I will now decline this ticket :)
