Forza Horizon 5 looks amazing. It's having issues streaming from an HDD. I guess SSD is going to be mandatory for AAA games now.

@matrix are the assets compressed?
ARK is complete ass on a HDD unless you do FS-level compression (at which point it goes from 300GB to 30GB, coincidentally) because they don't bother to compress the assets to "make it load faster"
@matrix I imagine Microsoft's developers would be slightly less incompetent than Wildcard anyway.

Might be worth poking at though.

@izaya
The game runs great while looking great so I don't think they are incompetent.

@matrix Weren't you saying it doesn't work properly when run from a HDD?

(Mostly I'm casting shade on Wildcard though, so many stupid decisions in one place.)

@izaya
Assets don't always load on time and when you go to a new scene or to a new highly populated area, it hitches, but once loaded it runs amazing.

@matrix Eh, could be worse then. I imagine it'll be optimised away over time.
