DarkCache

This mod implements prefetching and caching of both the Mourningstar itself, and many of the menus accessible within it such as those of the Armoury, Melk, and the Premium Store. You should find that all the menus load very quickly with this mod. The caching of the Mourningstar level itself is done during the first load, so while your initial load into the Mourningstar won't be any faster, all your subsequent ones should be. Version 1. 3 includes preloading of the Mourningstar, starting as soon as Darktide starts, and should shave some time off loading into the game. Note that this requires that some data be generated during loading the Mourningstar, so your first load after enabling preloading will not be any faster; subsequent ones will.

Features

• []Prefetching and caching for both of the Armoury's stores.

  []Prefetching and caching for Melk's Requisitorium including the Contracts menu.

  []Prefetching and caching for the Commissary's cosmetics stores.

  []Prefetching and caching of the Mission Board. This is actually off by default because, honestly, it didn't do much for me personally.

  []Prefetching and caching of the Premium Store. No more watching Hallowette wave her arms around for ten seconds.

  []Caching of the Mourningstar level itself. For me this reduced my loading time from about 25 seconds to about 10 seconds.

  []Much faster Psykhanium loading. For me this was about 3 seconds.

  []Mod options for toggling cache items, just in-case you have issues with one of them.

• Preloading of the Mourningstar, saving time loading in. For me the saving is about ten seconds.
