Long Loading times.WHY#1038

Just playing street fighter 6. Which is much more graphically intense and with more content. Why does street fighter load 10x faster than Rivals 2? I can load into SF6 in 45secs in training mode finding a rank game while rivals is taking 3-4 mins to load into the menu not including loading into the store on initial load. That takes another 20-30 secs

I want to mention whenever I start my first rank game after loading in. Everyone is invisible for the first 10 secs of the match?!???

I confirm the invisible opponet for the start of the match it happens for me too, I think of it as trying to guess what the other player would do as a training but I know it is some kind of bug or something.

Yeah, it’s crazy how long the loading times for this game can be, both when launching the game for the first time, and when entering a match.
It takes minutes for the game to load into the main menu, but when I start playing, the gameplay is buttery smooth 60fps, so I don’t think it’s my hardware. My PC is pretty powerful.
I know Marvel Rivals has an option for the shaders to load in the background while you browse the main menu. Is it possible for Rivals 2 to have something like that, maybe?
