They actually made the load time worse with their update. Not by a little, by a fucking tonne. Going from any interior to outside now takes like a full minute and 30 seconds, its ridiculous.

It took that time before the update for me as well. 1-2 minutes for every loading screen. There was a mod for that (before the next-gen update) that you could not load via nexus, bc the setup was a little more conplex, but it worked really well (see https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10283 )

The method of this mod was to speed up the fps only while in the loading screen to 300-350 bc the loading times were somehow tied to the fps. Well done Bethesda.

It seemed a lot faster for me prior to this latest update, but they were never superb. Here's hoping either the mods can be fixed or bethesda can get their shit together.

Alt-tab until you hear the music stop and it will load quicker.

That is the hackiest workaround I've ever heard lol but I will give it a shot, thanks.

Downside is you have to keep the seriously lacking, buggy-ass radio on.

That's the classic Bethesda experience.

Hah, those are the load times I used to get on my Xbox One with its dinky HDD. At the very least, The Midnight Ride has been updated to post next-gen, and I now get really small loading times (<5 sec) on my SSD. The game feels less rough around the edges, too. Only took 3 hours to set up :,)
