Slowdowns on loading screens

Game version this happens in

v1.2.0.30

What area of the game

I played most of the game using FusionFix 2.4.2 without facing any problem, but after updating to version 2.4.8 I started having issues with the load screens. Basically the load bar will now move much slower than it should and the game will take a few more seconds to load then it did before I updated FusionFix.

Any other notes or things you've tried

Another issue I got after updating to FusionFix 2.4.8 is that Niko will also write his response e-mails much slower, painfully slow in fact. I only got to see this issue one time and unfortunately I couldn't get a recording, will see about opening a new issue for this if I manage to capture the issue.

This is intended. It's supposed to be a fix for the absurd loading bar speeds. It's still incomplete tho... As it moves very slow currently...

For the other two issues, which are loading being a bit slower, and frame rate tanking when writing emails, can you please try using the latest FusionFix version 2.4.9 with 1.2.0.59? I think those are both fixed now.

Thanks for the fast response. Got version 2.4.9 and can confirm the e-mail issue has been solved. Loading still seems a bit inconsistent but its definitely much better than before.

Yeah, leaving the UnlockFramerateDuringLoadscreens enabled will improve load times it seems...

Latest version has softlocking workaround isolated to only when it happens, so the rest of loading times and whatnot should be the same as before.
