They actually made the load time worse with their update. Not by a little, by a fucking tonne. Going from any interior to outside now takes like a full minute and 30 seconds, its ridiculous.

Alt-tab until you hear the music stop and it will load quicker.

That is the hackiest workaround I've ever heard lol but I will give it a shot, thanks.

Xcom2 had a nice "feature" where if you hit capslock right when the mission starts to load it paused all animations and actually loaded the damn mission far quicker than normal

Downside is you have to keep the seriously lacking, buggy-ass radio on.

I've literally always done this with fallout 4. I think Skyrim too. Not because I thought it was improving anything mind you, it was taking so long that I would tab out to scroll some website while I waited.
