Checked the forums and didnt see any posts about this. Loading times? Between 3-5 minutes to load a area? Just going between the floors in near start (trying to avoid spoilers) up to 5 minutes to load such a small area? Is something wrong with this?

Amd Athalon 64 bit. 5000+ 2.6ghz
4 gigs ram
Vista 64 bit
Nvidia 9800 GT powersmart model
New hard drive. Checked for defrag but not needed.

No idea why it takes so long to load. Just wondering if other people are having this issue or not.

you're proc isn't all that fast by today standards... that could be causing the problem. also what is your ram speed?



i only have to wait 30sec to 1min for loading.



amd phenom quad core 2.3 ghz

patriot viper pc 1066 ram

windows 7 ultimate

nvidia 9800 GTX+ OC

some 500gig SATA drive, can't remember now



system is rated 5.9

So far for me the load times have been about a minute long or so (long enough for me to light a smoke at my desk but not long enough for me to go to the fridge to grab a drink).



Amd Phenom II X3 720 overclocked to 3.3ghz

8G ram

Vista 64

ATI 5870

WD Caviar Black 640GB hard drive

Not sure what kind of ram it is. Older than yours I'm sure. Seems your procs are faster than mine which is making a difference. Thanks for the replies thou.

take it the positive side, you can go to the kitchen for a drink.

#1 rule with windows. ALWAYS restart your computer before you start complaining. Did a restart. Like 2 second loading times now.



Should have known.

[ITSSEXYTIME]

Load times have been fine for me... nothing too drastic.

[Aesoppd]

Haha I found my loading times went drastically improved once I restarted my PC.

[FuzyBaffy]

I have a similar or way below setup with only a brand spankin new HD and Windows 7 32 bit, 2 gigs of DDR, 8800 gt, athlon x2 2.45. Load times are less than a minute. I have everything turned on highest except no AA. I am at 1600x900. Updated video drivers just before game arrived, everything smooth as butter. Maybe your res is too high and it isn't all going into your video card and has to put some items in main memory, that really slows things down.



I am extremely impressed with the optimizations that my old rig can play it on max.

[UziBeatle]

Load times are not an issue here. Nothing like a minute. I've not timed the load times but they are so short it has not come to my mind to time them until I stumbled across this thread while I"m goofing off.



Shrug. Sounds like a CPU issue to me.



System here (in sig)

I have a decent PC running XP Pro - there was one loading time that ran longer than a minute, but it was a freak occurrence. Usually 30 seconds to a minute for larger areas. Small ones, or ones still in the cache, load very fast.

[Sheylan]

With a Core 2 Quad, 4 gigs ram, and an ATI 4850 I've been encountering a strange problem.

The longer I play, the longer the load times become, eventualy they were taking about 4-6 minutes to load up redcliff. But when I restarted the game, BAM, 20 second load times. Very odd.

This is on windows 7 x64 btw.

I find this to be the same. Longer I play, More zones I go into the longer it takes to load.

Restart seems to take care of this. Maybe a memory leak?

[Darkholynova]

I also have this problem. I wonder if we'll see a patch soon or if I'll need to quit my game and reload every 2 hours to keep the load times down. When it  gets  to the point of 5 minute loads to go inside a bar...

Not running the fastest system in the world, but load times are literally about 15-20 seconds. Doesn't matter how long I've been playing or if I restart. Running Vista 64 bit. 1920x1200 max graphics.



Wonder if something external might be coming into play here?

[Smelephant]

loading times seem pretty good to me

I wrote a post on it and don't know where it went to. Yes, the game is taking between 3 and 5 minutes to load up areas on my computer as well. I thought for sure it was locked up the first time it did it, and quite honestly don't have the patience to sit starign at the bloody load screen for 4 or 5 minutes.
AMD Quadcore 2.2GHz
8GB system ram
Nvidia 275GTX
Win 7

However, I just exited the game and went back in and the initial first and second load screens only took about 10 to 15 seconds, so something is wonky here.

Loading times are hit or miss with me, sometimes they just Load Forever...I freaking hate those, and after like 15 minutes I quit and have to reboot, next time I load the same area? like a few minutes...whatever. Game is garbage to me at this point, it just Doesn't Work.

[Craptrain]

Huh. My computer is a lot weaker than most of yours and my load times have yet to exceed 1 minute.

[Darkholynova]

Such is the nature of PC gaming, 10 people can have the same computer but 1 will have issues.

Only now, I beg to differ that such anomalies didn't exist ten years ago in the PC gaming world - when they PUT MONEY INTO THEIR PROGRAMMING AND SUPPORT!!!

Every game that I have ever played as been like that and it tends to come down to the individual system.  I can remember having problems getting Quake to run on my 486 100mhz computer but my firends 486 66mhz played the game just fine (a bit slow, but playable). 

Also how many times has the problem turned out not to be the game but the system itself?  I have had games where I could not get them to run properly (constant crashing, random freezes, etc) so I rolled back my Nvidia drivers and bamn away goes the problem (I use to be a big Nvidia fan before ATI recently won me over).  Heck with the game hawx Kaspersky's anti-virus suite kept causing the game to crash and I thought it was the game just crashing since I would always have to do a hard reboot until one day I went through Windows log files and saw that each time Kaspersky was acting up.  I configured Kaspersky to ignore hawx and bamn my problem went away.

With all of the different software options and hardware options plus stupid users can you honestly expect each piece of software to work perfectly with each and every computer out there?

Just like another game that I am playing right now (TorchLight) which also had reported 20 sec to 1 minute or longer load times. Many people blamed other peoples PC's as the culprit since it worked fine on their own.

And as it turned out, it was a problem with the program which is so often the real culprit when there are more than a small handful of people all experiencing the same problem and when there is no common denominator.

My bet on this issue is that there is an issue with teh game that Bioware will have to deal with to get it solved. And of course, the sooner the better as this launch has not exactly been smooth for the game or them from all the hub-bub that I've read here and elsehwere.

There are in fact some games that have had very clean releases on the greater pecentage of their audiences computers.  It doesn't happen very often but certainly it does happen.
