So I got fed up with taking 5-10 minutes to load each map, so I redirected the following folders to a ramdrive: "appdata\natural selection 2" "ns2\shaders" "ns2\cinematics" "ns2\materials".
It made...no (or almost no) difference to load times, for real, in the console when I load it says "Compiling 'cinematics\bla'" or what ever file it happens to be precaching, the only ones that are listed that aren't already moved are models (which is like 7gb so no way I'm putting it on ram).
WHY, WHY YOU DO THIS GAME!?
Is it designed to load slow on purpose?
