Launching the game on Steam, it takes the game anywhere between 3 and 6 (!!!) whole MINUTES to load - when it does load. Half the time the game just displays an endless black screen and never loads the main menu.

Considering I have a 2070 Super/13th gen Intel CPU/32 Gb of RAM on one hand, and this game is nowhere near a AAA with raytracing and photorealistic graphics on the other hand, 2 questions arise:

1- what the hell?...

and, more importantly:

2- how to fix this and make the game load in less than 30 seconds, like it should...?

Thx in advance for your help!
