Faster zone transitions

[phobos2077]

Is it correct that there is no loading or processing of any kind taking place during screen fade in/out sequences? If so, I suggest to add a game setting to disable screen fade for faster transitions. It's only two seconds or so, but considering very small sizes of some maps, this would definitely make gameplay more smooth and immersive.

The loading times could also be better I guess, because even when I disabled autosave between location I didn't notice any difference in transition times (maybe because my savegames are stored on SSD). There's always room for some refactoring and optimizations, right?

Just started up the game again after 3 years. Now with autosaves an area takes ~5 seconds to transition. W/o autosaves - half that time. But the fade-out still takes up time. Would be awesome to have an option to remove it and save another second for every transition (which adds up to a considerable time).

its probably affected by your HDD / SSD speed, just like any "loading" in general. the game need to render next area and dump previous ones. and pre-rendering all nearby area would increased RAM usage, although it wouldn't be as bad, since this game is light af anyway.
autosave adds few seconds, too

Speedhack is the only thing that will speed up things like transitions, dialogue, and other stuff.

Speedhack only increased the "fade-in fade-out" and other animation effects, technically it doesn't speed up transition loading nor save progress

That's what the OP is about.

OMG people don't read actual posts they reply to anymore? Only the thread title? If speedhacks affects fade times, it proves this is just an unnecessary delay of the gameplay progress. Players like me would benefit greatly from having an option to speed-up (like 5-10 times) or remove them.
