Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Slow asset loading

Assets load very slow. lip syncs, textures, even sometimes models.
Does this game need an ssd to function correctly?

1660S + i5 10400 + 16gb ddr4 ram
HDD WD blue 2TB but my windows is on an ssd

problem on both dx11 and vulkan

found a temporary solution. I found out my 6gb of vram fills fast so I lowered texture quality and switched to dx11 (as it uses less vram then vulkan)...
so far I still have some texture streaming issues but no lips sync problems... (characters talking with mouth closed)

nvm still broken with 4gb out of 6gb vram usage.

I have the same issue. GTX 1060 6GB, i5 7400, 8GB RAM. Thought it was a RAM problem but apparently not. I'm guessing the game is not optimized enough for HDDs and there isn't much we can do to improve it
