I tried to load Open world demo in UE4 and after an hour, I still had nothing loaded.
I then tried to load a tree in a level and after a quarter of an hour I still had nothing loaded.
I wondered if this was normal. This is the first time this happens. Yet I have a good PC: I7 4930K 32GB of ram Geforce GTX 780Ti
I personally think it’s all the 8K textures. They have to be loaded into memory and then they are compressed. This takes a little while with 4K textures already, and it also all depends on your PC specs.
Thanks for your answers.
I will try to load this map. Except for the Graphical Card i have almost the same config as you , so i will tel tou the time it takes for me. My old test was with the showcase. And i didn’t have the patience to wait
Long load times are expected when opening the overview map for the first time, the project is generating a Derived Data Cache and it takes a while when you need to do that for around 150 8k textures. After the first load it should take significantly less time!
wow my is so dying:p(blackscreened at one point), it just took almost 2 hours to open 1 of the maps, and that was the small one so I am not even going to attempt to open the bigger map;)
