Hello, guys! I have "found" Empyrion only in november 2019. Until last week, the game used to take at least 10 minutes of "loading" until the main menu, not counting the time needed until actually loading a savegame itself. Now, after the light update to 11.5.6 2777, this week, in LESS THAN 5 minutes the game is already loaded and I also find myself playing as well! I don´t know if this was an official feature for this update but, anyway, the main reason for creating an account in this forum is to say THANK YOU! I need to use the "Low" graphics settings to run it on my Acer Aspire 5, but it remains a great game nevertheless.
