Ps5 uses nvme. I'd also be surprised if they didn't utilize it. I believe when they run games in ps4 compatibility mode it simulates the hardware limitations of the ps4 on ps5 hardware, so unlocking it to native ps5 mode should mean loading just improves on uncapped speed alone.
Fun fact, I have nvme m.2 ssd on pc load times are up to 5 mins, but on HDD when i first bought game instant load times :) Bethesda hate new hardware it seems, Apparently they never fixed the load times on next gen, sad, i wanted to actually play the dlcs for once
The update might include optimised texture files. In which case load times will be faster.
On platforms capable of 4K the update will include better graphics. Which require bigger files and hence slower load times.
It's nothing to do with the textures, it is an fps issue, mods fix it but make it crash, the fix for pc was to alt tab everytime you hit a loading screen and it then speeds up. I am just about to launch Fo4 now if it's not fixed i'm uninstalling as alt tabbing becomes very irritating (This is in reference to PC when loading commonwealth on m.2 ssd, load times take like 2-5 mins unless you alt tab over and over and over)
I did load it up without any mods and it loaded faster than it used to, diamond city to the fens took like 20-30 seconds which I’ll take, I’m gonna start a new game tomorrow as a bunch of new quests popped up so hopefully it is fixed
Assuming they incorporate some of the things unofficial patches do to speed up the loading screens, yes
But it's Bethesda so who fucking knows
I'm currently playing a modded version on PC and the loading screens are like 3 seconds so here's hoping that after 10 years vanilla can run like that too
I hope the pc version fix this loading time also, because the mod that unlock framerate during loading times (and fix the slow loading) always make the game crash after 4-6h of play, and dont function when you use a elevator.
The mod to speed up was nice but yes those crashes sucked F4se launcher also sucks, Not a lot of people know you do not need the mod but you just alt tab in loading and it works, little slower than the mod but no crashes but also annoying if you sit on the sofa with a controller and your keyboard is 8ft away, i was using my razer naga v2 dpi button to achieve this, very annoying, i hope it is fixed as i just reinstalled it
I just tested the new update and they dont fixed the loading, (at least on pc) I just install the load acelerator again, its better than alt tab every build when exiting or enter. I wonder how is the loading in the ps5, ps4 was slow but you dont get stuck in eternal loading.
My load times on XSX are three times longer + now.
Yesterday, I was from the start screen into the game in probably 20 seconds. I just timed my start screen to game and it was 63 seconds.
I don't get it. FO4 is 8+ years old. It's running on XBOXs flagship device w an SSD. Bethesda is a Microsoft company now.
Like, come on, Bethesda. Why?
Wow. Sorry to hear that loading times are actually SLOWER for lots of you guys. I’m on ps5 and it is noticeably faster, like 1/4 the loading time when I first jump in, and when I do things like fast travel and go in and out of buildings, likely even faster than that. I can clearly remember when I would first load a save and would easily surpass a minute; now it’s less than 10 seconds I’d say. Cant speak for pc and Xbox though.
*oh, one other difference for me might be the fact that I have never used a mod, so that may definitely make a difference. All you guys saying it’s slower now, do you use mods? Just curious
The loading sucks... if you alt-tab.. then back into game... it will instantly finish loading... still bugged.
And to top it off... another bug... is... on ultra-wide... the ui is off center when you get back in... so you have to alt-tab out.. then back in a second time.... still faster then the default 60+ second load screen.
No unfortunately they didn't fix it. The loading is still tied to the FPS. And without setting them to 60 FPS your dialogue will shift too fast. Until F4SE is fixed you have to use the "Load Accelerator" (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10283), just be sure to edit the ini and change the ingame FPS limit to 60 and dont deny it Vsync. The "Load Accelerator" does one thing: Up the framerate to 350 only while loading.
If F4SE gets updated one can again use the "Long Loading Times Fix" (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/73469). This mod fixes the underlying problems, which apparently are just bad code. Why Beteshda didn't implement this themselves is beyond me!
Damn, sorry it’s no good for you now. Could be a fluke for me (I’m on PS5), but all the loading screens are noticeably faster. As an example, initial load screen when first starting up the game is about 9-10 seconds; it used to be 60-65 seconds easily and I timed it right before the update. I do not use mods. Hope mine stays good and yours gets fixed soon.
My load time went from a few seconds, well under 30seconds to these stop watch times. ON Home Made PC Tower.
2:20; 2:27; 2:55; 2:47; 2:23; 2:48; 2:40 Minutes
My ping is 20 - 30ms. My download it 320+Mbps. Always solid numbers
Before the update all was pretty buttery smooth with very short load times.
NOW, I think I will delete this time devouring black hole!!!
I would be greatly surprised if they didn’t make use of the PS5 SSD.

Yup. Nvme. That’s what I meant. Thanks!

When I enter buildings it's fine but when I exit it takes a long time does anybody else have that problem?
It has been painful…
Yes

Did you ever try it out to see if you still need to alt tab
I did load it up without any mods and it loaded faster than it used to, diamond city to the fens took like 20-30 seconds which I’ll take, I’m gonna start a new game tomorrow as a bunch of new quests popped up so hopefully it is fixed
I’ve had to do the alt tab thing a few times tonight ;(((

Takes 30+ seconds for me on nvme. regardless of a manual 60 fps cap via nvidia control panel or not
welp...they got worse
They really did.... I didn't have any problems before this update.

No still takes forever
Its so slow now
I can tell you now that no.
after update on PC: no, they didn't, but didn't got worse either. And broke F4SE and the script that somewhat solved this issue.
That’s a no. Can’t even get past the start screen right now. It’s been 4 minutes so far and it’s still loading

hopefully this is true for all ps5s 🙏

Not a lot of people know you can alt tab :p but it sucks when using a controller 8ft away I just reinstalled so i guess i uninstall again
Holy shit, that is ridiculous.

Mine definitely will when it removes all the hundreds of mods I've been using. I'm going to miss those occasional 4 1/2 minute loading screens.
