Hey all, random forum post.

First off, congrats on Avouca taking 1st place in Episode 1 Any%. Major props.

Second, on top of execution of inputs and movement, computer specs also play a major part in getting a good time.

From what I've been reading, Unreal engine relies heavily on CPU, meaning the better your CPU, theoretically the better your loading times are.

What storage medium you have the game saved on doesn't seem to have that much of an impact. (That doesn't really matter until BtS). However, I'm not entirely certain if NVME SSDs (ones with 3.5GB/s reads) have an effect since my PC doesn't support using one natively. I know for certain that HDD vs SSD doesn't make a tangible difference when it comes to LiS.

If anyone in the community is willing to test out on their rig if HDD/SDD/NVME would be faster, that would be greatly appreciated.

Again, I'm 99% certain it comes down to what CPU you have, but without testing this variable I could be wrong.
