doesn't matter what i do
This is the answer to your question.
I know it's a shitty answer, but it's the truth. The game's poor design is what's causing the loading issues.
Here is an example of the kind of thing I mean. That image shows how much is going on with only a single location each time it's being loaded.

Now, imagine all the things that can happen at different locations, and that they're all being loaded to be ready when you go to any of those locations...
Another post by dsconstructor , many pages back ("spam" posts of people not bothering to search and asking the same shit again & again really bloats the thread up, kind of like KST's design methodology for this game) that explains it in much more detail.

Ultimately, however many more versions we've got coming, it's just going to get worse. Whether or not KST decides to redo most of the mess in the future is up for debate, but I don't see it happening.

after seeing that pic i have nothing to say. i brought my in 2011, but it's still holds ups pretty good still this day, i even play and complete "Metro exodus" on 720p mid and low setting and that game set my gpu on 100% utilization and getting 40 to 50 fps that i can understand, but this game uff, i tried everything and still it's putting my gpu on 100% utilization and what i getting 20 to 30fps. Man this game is a disaster, KsT needs to fix this shit ASAP.

The only way to alleviate the loading times is to run the game from an SSD.
Traditional hard disks are the biggest bottleneck when comes to performances on games like this which load everything on each scene change.

SAVE Post updated
https://f95zone.to/threads/the-twist-v0-36-final-cracked-kst.1282/page-958#post-1838190

Now includes saves for version 0.36

Please Note: I have not included any pegging, don't want to, but I did include the part of the walkthrough for it starting from 0.32


Other things to note
Make sure to download the latest cheat plug-in, v1.0.5, if you use it, as the 1.0.3 does not work with 0.36.
https://f95zone.to/threads/the-twist-cheatmenuplugin-v1-0-5beta-dsconstructor.6938/

and at the moment I could find no way to have Dannielle switch between the Normal Lifeguard Suite and the Risky version, so if you switch her back, there is currently no option to reverse it, at least non that I've seen.

That doesn't solve the problem though. There's been plenty people running this game on a SSD that have had problems with the loading times. It's not just a case of SSD vs HDD, and it goes back many versions.
If KST had employed better design and implementation, then SSDs would be loading each location in a couple of seconds at the worst, and HDDs taking no more than five at worst.

This is definitely not a game that someone should go out and get a SSD for. Save that for things like Battlefield, CoD, or Cyberpunk when it releases. Things that will actually take proper advantage of a SSD as opposed to something that needs it to alleviate the author's bad development skills.

It's a bug and it's already been reported to KsT
But from what I've read, it's only invisible and it's still there, you just have to click around for it.

It should be located here, (Screenshot from 0.35)

well there are SSDs then there are the M2s
its a huge difference in reading/writing speeds there.
300mb/s for an standard SSD and up to 3300mb/s for an M2

Unfortunately, the majority of people playing this game more than likely don't have a setup that supports M2 SSDs.
Not to mention they're more expensive than SATA3 ones.

I'd honestly smack someone a few times across the face for using one for this game though :ROFLMAO:

Correct! The game shouldn't need this kind of hardware to run smoothly. All it needs is a better optimization through his code.

Yes, in terms of read/write speed NVME SSD is offering big jump over SATA SSD, however in typical usage difference between them would be relatively small.

Btw, SATA 3 SSD usually have read speed in 560-500 MB/s range.

loading big files is where these shines over standard SSDs
typical usage is surfing the net and watch youtube videos ;)
do you own an M2 or do you just guess how they perform?

Still no pregnancy scene updates? Ugh, bored
I doubt we'll be seeing more than what we've already got for Janice. This game's going to be ending relatively soon, and KST will be working on the new game.
Hopefully the mistakes made in designing this game are learnt from and don't crop up again.

Something this game does not require.
I spent about a year running this on a potato machine, where the most modern part was the graphics card - MSI R9 270 OC 2GBDDR5 - from November 2017 to early this year, and never from an SSD. Rest of the specs were an i3 530 (OC of 3.66Ghz) and 4GB 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM, and running from a nearly ten year old 1TB HDD.
Just out of curiosity I booted that system up and ran the 0.36 Beta 1 cracked version, and loading times only got worse after half an hour, and only by 3-4 seconds coming in with the longest measurement of 18 seconds during a forty minute test, and that was when loading in the beach.

Wasting an SSD (Even bog standard SATA3 type) on this game, is something that should wind up having your rig taken away from you, and all PC gaming privileges removed. For life.

Not only do i think due to the game's poor optimization, that.. having an even more powerful processor and fast loading drives -can- help.. also having more than 2gb of VRAM is key, as the game consistently wants between 2-3 gigs of VRAM.. so those of you with weak/older graphics cards/chips are having even more issues due to having to page out textures all the time. Not that the textures in this game are that complex, but with how bloated everything is, it compounds the issue.
