Long loading times
|
Loading the game has not been quick for me either but patch 0.10.0f seems to have pushed it well over a minute. The time seems quite variable.
Edit: A quick test shows 1 minute 10 seconds on the loading screen. Last edited by BlowFish#4051 on Feb 5, 2013, 4:08:12 PM

" Holy fuck, did you read my post? At least the part you quoted? I said that I'm okay with the HDD load times. And I have no problem with the game's startup time either, only zone transitions under specific conditions. I'm having a different issue leading to long loading times. Again: " |

" A, okk. |

I am having the same issues. Initial loading to login screen is upwards around 2-3 minutes. Ingame whenever I change zones it takes around 1 minute. Is this something that should be fixed on GGG's end or ours?

" Wondering this myself. I wait Four-six minutes to load the game, and different areas can take 1-2minutes. |
|

So i did a test. I deleted the log file in the /logs directory where the game is installed because i noticed the text file massive. After that load times dropped to near instant. Try deleting the log file and restarting the game.

Having the very same issue, really noticed it after the last update.
My log file's huge too, going to try "deleting" it. EDIT tried the log thing, can't really tell if it helped, loadtimes are still pretty big, but seem smaller, but I'm not sure IGNs GroovyBeard JooJooFromTheWell Last edited by Allnamestaken#7661 on Feb 26, 2013, 1:12:19 PM

I'm having the same issues. The load times weren't this bad the first few times I played, but have gradually gotten worse. I've defraged, edited the short cut, etc... nothing works. Any progress on this issue?

Also having the same issue with loading times here. It's been gettin so bad that sometimes when the area loading is done I find my character dead, this is especially irritating while doing maps since you only get so many portals.
Edit: For some reason my CPU usage goes up to ~95% while loading a area but stays down at ~30% while playing (without any background programs). @SpyChicken Last edited by SpyChicken#0844 on Mar 19, 2013, 11:45:16 AM
