Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems ISSUE - Loading is "broken up" comapred to patch 4

Dear Developers, Dear all,

First of all, thank you so much for making this awesome game. And thank you for having us in early access.


I know my PC is 11 years old, but I did not have this issue in patch 4, so I assume you guys did something to the loading mechanism of the game.
I imagine, this was made so that the game loads faster into the game world, as i feel loading is a bit faster now.

However, the loading is "broken up" into absolutely everything missing, showing a bit more, and a bit more, and finally having the world load.
This however, is in my opinion is more frustrating then a longer load time.

Please see screenshots below.

Now, whoever suggests me to buy a new PC, can feel free, and send some money my way :P
(Yes I do plan to buy a new one eventually for release, but not right now.)



Initial loading into the game world:


After a minute or so:



After another minute or so: (World still not loaded properly)



In Patch 4 the game loaded the world properly, but some high-res textures were missing.

I had a similar issue. During cut scenes things like smoke and moving water would pop into existence a fraction of a second to a second late, which was distracting

I've been having this exact problem ever since Patch 5 dropped as well. The game loads like a dream on the Nautiloid, better than previous patches, but as soon as I reach the beach I start experiencing that pop-in that you're showing in those screens. It's way more frustrating than a long loading screen somehow.

For reference, my PC is about 4 years old, and while it's not top of the line, it's decent enough. I meet all of the games minimum specs and most of the recommended specs.

I have the same issue and a fairly new PC (I can play Cyberpunk on high perfectly). On patch 4 everything was running smoothly amd now a lagg-a-thon. It's so frustrating to waith forever to load especialy when you quicksave and f up someting and need to load again. This needs to be fixed it's not playable like this.
