Long loading after 1.05 patch PC

Long loading after 1.05 patch PC

Hi,

I have problem with very long loading on my SSD since i patched the game.
Now I am going to admit I made a save on pirated version of game patched it to 1.04 then to 1.05 and my loading times are about 30 seconds each. Later I bought the game and the same problem persist but only when I start the game or die, If I just fast travel my game loads in 3-4s.
Also when I started new game on new save it works just fine, loads times are 5-6s which is what I expect from my SSD.
It happens always in any configuration that I've tried. Making new saves, deleting other saves, nothing helps.

Is there any way to fix this ?

SPECS:

2500K @4.4GHz, 7870 @1100/1300, 8GB RAM, SSD crucial mx100 256GB

Loading times depend on the area to load, obviously. White Orchard takes about 5 seconds on my system (this is why you're under the impression that it's working fine on a new save, since it's just White Orchard for a few hours), but fast travelling from there to Novigrad takes about 20.

Be that as it may, Murphy is right.
Loading times have increased drastically since 1.05 patch.

Before the patch i was always done loading while the cutscene was still playing and could skip it. Regardless of area.
Now i gotta sit through the whole speech and then some. Every single time..

Encountered this long loading bug 6 hours ago. I was about to meet Dandelion but since it wasn't time I decided to meditate near the area, boom! It hit me loading time. I was able to load the screen after pressing Esc -- Escape button.

Same, its very annoying. Specially when You have SSD for some reason and You get used to load saves for about 10secs, not 60...And same it started after 1.5 patch.

EDIT: 'Solution' is there.

Then You have to find one, or ask CDPR experts what to do. Like i said there I have no fuc*ing idea how its related, but there is no other way (at least I dont know) to deal with loading times without connecting any controller. Last thing what comes up to my mind is trying with Witcher 3\bin\config\base\hidden.ini and LockControlScheme=0 or LockControlScheme=1 like said I've tried to 'fix' that for 10h.
I'm same amazed as You with that issue refference.

If You ask me it might be the best marketing move 2015 EVER. You want to get your game load faster? Buy a Controller. Make an agreement with Sony/Microsoft about specific DS/XboxPad and money stream should flow instantly.

I'm going to create a patent-pattern for that before someone would do the same. Thanks CDP!
I'll be millionaire.

I will add my 2 cents as well.

I really didn't want to make a thread since I love this game so-much, but load times are *LONG*, like an extra 15-30 seconds, and its pretty annoying since I like to often RE-LOAD after quick-saving to determine best possible or my most favorable DIALOG-option decision making.

I really don't know what has changed, but load times were significantly faster 1.02-1.04 patch, up until patching to 1.05 load-times have increased dramatically + its even more obnoxious to hear the Narrator stuff followed by a long-load screen.

[I'm not sure if the game has changed in that, loading no-longer occurs during narration since 1.05 and it proceeds to BEGIN loading after narration now?!?!]
