I recently picked up Fallout 4. My first Bethesda game, I’m a seasoned gamer, and just got a new PC. It honestly was the most unpleasant gaming experience I can remember. Surely, if this is my fourth time dying trying to leave this area that I got stuck in surrounded by high unkillable monsters, my loading screen will take less than a minute, right? My computer can run Control at 144fps, but can’t load all of Fallout 4’s shades of brown before I get bored.
To be blunt: were you holding it wrong? Was the game on an HDD? Did you tweak the inis in a dangerous way?
It’s been ages since I played FO4. It was janky for sure. But it seemed to run okay, and load fast, on a toaster compared to what I have now. And I never had a loading screen last close to a minute.
Starfield was a whole nother level, though. It felt like a game trying to look like 2077, but with the engine “feel” of something from 2006.
I think the HD texture pack was a major source of the issue, not to say it looked particularly good with it, but it would have probably looked worse without it.

I remember there being mods for it. The loading screens are somehow tied to the capped framerate (yeah, really), which you can remove.
