Patch 7, hotfix 27 somehow made the loading times extremely long, this fixes that for the Steam version.
Automated program that reverts the loading times to what they were before hotfix 27, Steam version only. I don't have the game on GoG, so can't verify if it works there too.
Used the information from Norbytehere for figuring out the content to change.
The source code is included.
What it does: Makes a backup of BG3.exe && BG3_DX11.exe, and then changes the hex value in both to resolve the loading time issue. It only has to be run once.
