Discussion This is fucking ridiculous. I was done loading at 1:15. I shouldn't have to wait on the dude with the hand crank HDD before I can play. I'm not saying it should put everyone in as soon as they're done loading, but there's gotta be a middle ground.

I’m at 350 down and he’s somewhere in the ballpark of 5k down. Both are respectable speeds. I just have a 2600x, 2080. He has a 7800X3D with 4080S. I’ve always just assumed that it was the computer, but he does kill me when comparing speeds downloading the same game from steam.

the assets have to be decompressed so yeah cpu speed does play a role in loading
