Latency
I love the game but half of the time is spent waiting behind loading screens and I’m wondering if it would work faster if I installed the game on SSD or is it server issues.
No, I don’t use mods

Any game will always have improved load times on SSD over a HDD install. I highly recommend SSDs anyway. They’re cheap nowadays. Samsung are great
Laoding times will still be rubbish but also it depends on someone’s else’s machine… If I load a map by myself then it’s near instant. But the game must wait for all people to load the map… And some people might have slow machines.
It’s a server/backend issue. You can have the fastest SSD out there but if you get hit by the 5-10 minute loading bug you can either wait it out or restart your game, from what I’ve seen.
Darktide is the only game I have long loading times on with my m.2 ssd. It’s pretty much random as well. Sometimes it’s just a few seconds. Sometimes I’m stuck waiting as I mentioned above. I believe there’s someone in the forums that figured out the actual reason for the long loading times.
Edit:
Here’s the thread for it
From what I see there’s still no fix for it.
The SSD will likely help, and we’ve ironed out many of the issues pertaining to slow loading, but some issues continue to be reported even with SSDs.
