Solved: 8 Years, 9 Months ago RE: How to Improve ram usage

Are you running the 32bit or 64bit linux binary? What CPU do you have? What graphics card do you have?

Load time is really dependent on disk, CPU, and graphics card speed. The levels themselves are pre-cached so that loading is fairly quick. There is a setting (which should be enabled by default) which forces amnesia to ONLY use the cache files. If, for some reason, that is OFF and your cache files have the wrong timestamp, AND Amnesia can not write to the game directory, then it will be rebuilding levels on every startup which is very slow.

Can you post your main_settings.cfg file that is located in your ~/.frictionalgames/Amnesia/Main ?
