I could be totally wrong but doesn't direct storage happen at the hardware level? "For DirectStorage to work, your PC needs to have an NVMe SSD and a DirectX 12 compatible graphics card. DirectStorage is enabled automatically if your PC supports it, so you don't need to turn it on." In my motherboards bios I do have a setting to enable direct storage as long as i have the other equipment that supports it. Sadly the 5700XT does not appear to support direct storage even though it is a direct X 12 card. Also the NVME needs to be at least 1tb from what I just read for direct storage to work. Yes and no. Directstorage uses the gpu to help the cpu handle loading. Yes you need a directx12 capable gpu and a ssd but its not automatically in the game unfortunately, it needs to be implemented by the devs/with a mod. I wished Microsoft would force all game developpers to put it in their game by making it standard in DX12 but its not gonna happen. I was playing starfield last night and I played like 3 minutes and I had like 5+ loading screens, it breaks the immersion. Its crazy that a game with so much loading screens, they didnt try to even implement the obvious solution to that problem. Ratchet and clank uses it and it basically transports you from one level to another in a fraction of a second, loading one level, then the next, in less than a second, then again and again using this technology. Maybe bethesda didnt do it because the xbox doesnt support it or they are lazy or the creation engine cant do it because its way too old...

All of you have probably noticed the insane numbers of loading screens in the game... yet Bethesda still havent talked about future support for Direct Storage, you know, the tech that speeds up loading screens by hundreds of percents when its put in a game... Since talented modders came up with DLSS in a few days, I wonder if modders could do the same but with Direct Storage? Seems to me it would increase the quality of the game by a lot and make those loading screens way less annoying than they are right now? Just an idea. This game would be much better with this mod. Thanks a lot to all the hard working modders out there.
