My Studio is EXTREMELY laggy when loading scenes, some scenes would crash it 9/10 times, others just take ages to load
it depends on your setup
if your client is sitting in HDD, then its your mistake
this game MUST be placed on SSD
also the slow loading is usually caused by too many object
for example, a map that made entirely from studio props (including wall, floor, ceiling and etc)
crashing is a bit rare occurrence for me, but back when im still using old GPU, some mods especially that GPU bound are more likely to make the client crashes
for example the next gen skin shader and dynamic fluid mod
i remember just spawning 5 fluid mods will make my client crash immediately
those scenes are the most popular ones from booru and few other websites
scenes from those kind of websites tend to using paid mod that the creator has
so make sure to check whether author mentioned that thing or not
but yes, you can try updating the sideloader first to see which mods are paid mod that only the author has and which one are not
it says i have to download another 90gb? Surely not when my HS2 folder is already 147gb?
repack 10 is been around for few months actually and inevitably many mods are released during this time, so i dont think its weird if the updater asked for 20gigs and 18gigs just for sideloader alone and another 40gigs for studio stuff
also imo, you dont really need to download maps from the updater, its for AI, not HS2
so the game wont able to load it anyway and you are wasting your storage space
just fyi 147gigs is very normal
my client already reached 200gigs mark
