you might already know, but this is because the game has a small executable but basically spends minutes at startup generating all the possible textures the game will need procedurally.

I do find it funny how they were nice enough to compress this executable, with the uncompressed version coming at a whopping 108kb. Meanwhile, the screenshots are each about 2MB
