System map loading time

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

Internet speeds and server loads seem to effect to system map loading the most.
And of course how many bodies there are.
Computer specs can have an effect, but in my experience, it's mostly internet.

I've never had trouble before but it was unbearably slow yesterday. Like 1 minute to open the map. I'm guessing server load?

EDIT: In response to the next post, I have a Samsung 960 EVO NVMe SSD as my one and only drive. Everything is installed on there.

Hi All,

Can anyone help me with getting to load the system map quicker???

I'm hoping its not my PC. Maybe anyone has any tips for it??
It takes like 15/20 sec to load every time and then i see bad textures, and wait 5 sec and then all is with the correct textures.
This is in for me undiscoverd systems.
The rest of the game is really quick, no delays.

I'm running on:
3840 × 2160

i7 4790k
Asus GTX Titan X
16gb ddr3
Samsung 850 pro SSD
Wired 150Mbit

Thanks in advance for your help

Happy Flying.

The only improvement I think you could make would be to go with an M.2 Nvme SSD like the Samsung 950 or 960 Pro.

I have the 950 Pro as my system drive and ED is installed on there. My load times for System Maps is 2-5 seconds, with 2 seconds being the most typical. All textures etc. in place as well.

The Galaxy Map loads instantly on my system. As fast as you can hit the button.

These drives are amazingly fast and with things like this, it really shows compared to a SATA SSD. (I also have two 850 EVOs on this system that I use for doing quick full backups of my 950 Pro which is 512GB)
