My 16 Arc currently only has 1 city and 1 single airport settlement. It makes me think the size of the rest of the universe doesn't quite matter during loading times, only the current system.Don't think so, my main avatar I always load in with is in the normal homesystem with a regular habitable world, but I DO have an alt sitting at the control center of my ringworld with preons
Also I only have 1 discovered ringworld, and it only has 1 city, and it's a small city too, like 700 pop (In fact all of my cities are around that size, only 1 of them is above 1k pop, my capital, the rest are under)
The reason I think the universe is the problem, and not the current system being rendered, is because the very long load happens when I first click the "Play" button when you first open the game
As far as I know, that button "boots" the universe but doesn't load any of the scenes, since you haven't loaded in on an avatar yet. When it finishes loading, and then I click an avatar, the avatar load-in is almost instant, regardless of what system the avatar is in
Well dunno, I now closed and restarted the game again, from pressing play up until having my character loaded, in under a minute, from HDD. (I was wrong: actually SSD) The previous time, pressing play did take a bit longer.
I have 8 colonised and 15 (some partly) explored sectors in the game. (the resource search says "searching 1279 systems"). You did visit all 20 galaxies, so likely have alot more generated sectors in your savegame. so I guess you're right about the entire universe needing to load. Or are generated systems deleted, right after leaving the scene, unless colonised? If they are not, maybe they should be. Just the resource reports need to be saved. In the MMO they were saved for 1 week after last visited, iirc. No need for that, really, in the SP for uncolonised systems. Especially since, as u mentioned elsewhere, dark matter was removed and AI can go to ungenerated systems.
Also the 1 Gb you mentioned, is that for your total Savegames folder or per Manual save? (I would assume the latter)
Unless you have alot more explored systems saved, it would almost sound as if somehow HDD works better with Hazeron than SSD, which doesn't make sense
