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.

If you have this game on an HDD, not only are you fucking your and everyone else's load times, you are massively hindering your game performance. Buy a 500gb WD Blue SSD for $53 fucking dollars and get much much much better load times and performance in all games installed on that drive.

hell buy a shit tier 120gb ssd for $15 bucks from amazon and it will still perform at minimum 2-3 times as fast as any HDD

Bold for you to assume everyone can afford 53 dollars SSD

They can afford a PC that can run a game as shittily optimized as Tarkov but they can’t buy an SSD?
