30-60 seconds of hard Lag/Freezing when initially loading into areas.

[Jaxic]

Came back to the game myself recently and tried recruiting my friends. 

One is having an odd issue where he gets massive lag the first 30-60 seconds when loading into any area. His ship, a mission anything. Then it cools down and goes away completely.

I notice this on my machine as well but it lasts maybe 1-3 seconds tops.

Fresh install followed by a reinstall, verified cache/optimized.

Has decent hardware that exceeds the req's and is installed on an SSD. 

Think it's killing the game for him, anyone have suggestions before he quits?

Graphics / GPU?

Using DirectX 11 with feature level 11_0 or newer? Run Dxdiag to see feature level.

Old GPU like intel Sandy Bridge integrated graphics are Dx10 only, and will be dropped soon. https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1227957-psa-warframe-directx-10-support-ending-jan-2021-est/

He has a 1080 GPU and it's a Ryzen CPU.

Nvidia control panel, manage 3D settings, shader cache on?

If the shader cache is off, there will always be high CPU usage on each loading screen. If on, it should only occur once for each area. To reset cache, delete:
- C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\NV_Cache
- %LocalAppData%\AMD\DxCache

Sadly this made no difference.
