As the title says, are -direct and -txt allowed with extracted assets for the faster load times? Talking about the method from this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo/comments/qey05y/d2r_single_player_tips_to_improve_your_load_times/

Well, I feel dumb. Found a forum post from 8 months ago with almost the exact same topic discussing this. Maybe it should be added to the rules so it's not buried toward the bottom of the forum?

It has been there under "Game Rules".

I never noticed the "Game Rules" section before. Good stuff!
