WAC loading time and RAM usage

[vadupleix]

Hello All,

It was almost 8 years since I last played SH series and the new release of UBOAT brought me back. I installed the WAC 5.2 last night and have two questions:

1. The manual says that due to RAM usage issue the widescreen GUI and full sub interior (same as FM interior I suppose) should not be used together. Is this with or without 4GB patch? How many of you actually use them together without issue?

2. The loading time is terrible even with the game in SSD (NVME), about 5min for single mission and even longer for campaigns (due to port traffic supposedly). Is this what I should expect or is there something wrong?

The mods I have on are:
WAC 5.0
WAC 5.0-5.2 patch
Ahnenerbe widescreen GUI
alternative VIIC turm
U96 skin

Thanks a lot!
