EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6: How to Improve Loading Time with SpecialK

Annoyed by long loading time? Read on…

 

Introduction

Apparently Sandlot still can’t implement proper framerate limiter which results in long downtime between missions. Fortunately for us PC gamers there is a utility called SpecialK to mitigate the issue.

Easy Two Steps to Victory

1. InstallĀ SpecialK[wiki.special-k.info].

2. Open the game’s properties window via Steam client. Add the following launch option (without quotes) in the General tab:

“SKIF %COMMAND%”

3. Profit!

Result

Now missions should load almost instantaneously.

Tips

This is also effective on EDF4.1/5.

Caveat

Every PC is different so there is a chance this won’t work on your rig. Please leave a comment if that’s the case, or if you have recommended setting for SpecialK, OS etc.

When all else fails you can simply remove the launch option to disable SpecialK. It won’t do anything to your system by itself when used this way.

FWIW this is confirmed to work on my rig which is: Ryzen 5600X / Radeon RX6600 with Adrenalin version 24.5.1, with the global gaming experience set to “performance.”
