Oh, I see, it makes more sense nowThe game is slow because KST coded the scene changes to load all the assets that is available for that location every single time, and then just hide the assets that are not supposed to be there causing a scene change to eat up CPU and HDD resources.
This is the main reason for the long loading times so it can not be optimised without a full rewrite of the game code.
There's a cheat mod done by xorxorrax that speeds up the scene changing times if you are using a fairly newish processor (6th gen Intel processor and above) I play the game on a 4th gen i7 processor and it speeds it up a little, but since the processor is lacking newer instruction set found in later generations of the Intel processors range it's still slow.
Cheat mod 2 is currently the best one to use though it could use some updating to add later content unlocking, but it still works fine.
My problem with this game was that it "not responding" during blackscreens, usually from what I know it's due to a lack of memory.
So I made windows allocate more virtual memory and I put the game on the SSD (I had little space so I didn't put it there before, and I didn't imagine it would happen). It really mitigated the problem haha
