hat DLC and mods (if any) are you running? The more stuff you have in the game, the longer it takes to load and, if you happen to run CE, remove the WIP section and, make sure you are using the most up to date table (or at least table 45 if you insist on having God Mode and, only use it for that and crafting or shop inventory, not any of the other stuff in 45 as much of it causes problems now.)

 

I run off an SSD drive but, that's a small difference. The bigger factor is the type of RAM and, the speed and number of cores in you CPU. I'm lucky to read once sentence while loading but that's on a 4.2 gHz 8 core CPU and 32 GB DDR3 so, it had best not let me read a whole paragraph on that LOL.

 

I have no mods running on it.  And while admittedly, my computer isn't the power house yours is.  3.2ghz 4 core with 16gb of RAM - it seems to run Witcher 3 just fine which is every bit as technically astounding as DAI is.  I've heard that the reason for long load times is because of EA's copy protection scheme incorporated into DAI.  If that's true - that's just shameful.

I must say I'm loving the game this time. I should have gone nightmare from the start when I first played it last year. Easy makes the boring parts even more boring. But what I want to say is, while my PC is not that powerhorse as well, I can run TW3 with a mix of Ultra/High/Medium settings with Hairworks on and very decent FPS (Hairworks is said to have a big impact on FPS). Loading times in TW3 are very decent. And while I repeat that I'm loving DA:I this time, it took me some 10 minutes to load a cutscene that lasted 5 minutes and then another 10 minutes to go back.  There's gotta be something wrong and I can swear it is not at my end.

I am on SSD's and the load times are the longest of any game I can recall playing in the past 5 years or so.

 

I am really starting to get into the game though.  I played Witcher 3 and loved it and was apprehensive about picking this up right after, but it is it's own game, and done quite well.

Yes, the loading times use to be very annoying until I got myself a SSD.

[LSilvercloak]

I'm nervous about putting it on my SSD. I've heard the frequency of access and writes because of the copy protection scheme will fry an ssd so... not putting it on there.

Even on an SSD DA:I loads slower than anything in recent memory

[DarkAmaranth1966]

It is slolwer than many other games on loading but, not terrible. Even on a slower rig, I would thing anything over 5 minutes needs investigating.

 

It's possible background processes are using more RAM than need be and, closing those you don't need will help the game load faster. The entire DAI folders both the install ones and the one in Documents needs to also be made an exception to any real time virus scanning you have running - scanning those files every time the game acesses them will slow things down and, it isn't required for safety. Daily system scans including those files (preferable during computer idle time) is sufficient.

I am not really seeing long load times since installing it on a SSD, no slower than most other games anyway.

[almasy87]

I've got an SSD but DAI is installed on normal HDD so..
I do have a bit long load times, but only the first time the game is started. For instance if I close the game, without turning the laptop off, and then restart it, it's A LOT faster. Like it needs to warm up..

Example: Turn on the pc.. turn on DAI: might take up to 3 minutes to load something.
                Decide I need to edit a mod or something, so close the game, fix the mod/put new mods etc, restart the game: loads in                       about 30 seconds..


Dunno why. Sometimes I close it and restart it just for this reason

That would be because it take Origin a couple of minutes to spin up, log you in and get ready to launch the game when you first boot up the PC. When you just exit the game, you leave Origin logged in and running so, the load difference is that you are not waiting for Origin to do it's thing a second time that day.

Fair point, didn't think about that Cheers!

Not for me. I usually have Origin open/logged in all the time. But first DAI start still takes forever to load. I'm playing Origins right now and the quick load times are really spoiling me. Even when the game has been running a while and the memory leak starts slowing things down, it still loads faster than DAI.

Tested;

50 second loads when in SLI, Fullscreen in game.

20 second loads when windowed or borderless windowed (takes me out of SLI, so 1 vid card)

 

I'm building a new PC and am going with 1 MSI 980ti Lightning instead of SLI, so it will be interesting seeing what the loads do.

 

Mods enabled or not, or being offline, makes no difference on my system.  Loads are region change loads (the longer ones) as loads within regions are fairly quick.

[Neverwinter_Knight77]

The bothersome thing to me is that they give you these things to read while the game loads, and then it goes to a black screen before you can read them.

[Mountain]

New single MSI GTX 980 Lightning load times around 20 seconds in Fullscreen mode when traveling from one region to another.

 

And I agree Neverwinter, I always wonder why they didn't leave them up top the end as the black is about half the load time.

[LSilvercloak]

Thats weird,  How can a GPU affect load times?

[Mountain]

I'm pretty sure it is due to SLI.  Loading Vram across 2 cards?

[sjsharp2011]

Correct. Not to mention that a SSD has several data blocks which the claimer seems to completely neglect. And since I have the game installed on a SSD I can already confirm that there's not much going on with the bytewrites. So don't you worry about installing the game on a SSD

Yeah I have DAI installed on an SSD and oit runs really well. Given it's an open world style game and those sorts of games work best when run off an SSD based on evreything I heard it was pretty much a no brainer for me.

[LSilvercloak]

I moved the game on to my SSD yesterday. (It deleted all my saves in the process.  Thanks for the tip Bioware!  Glad I store my saves on dropbox)  It seemed to run even slower than it did before...  Sigh.  I'm resigned to thinking I need to upgrade my mobo and CPU before it'll perform any faster than it does.

1. AMD Phenom II 965 not the rig that handles pretty much EVERY game. Frostbite loves 6-8 core cpu's and if you didn't activate mantle you should, massive performance boost overall.
2. Install the game on SSD. I tested load time on my hdd 7200 it was ~1.5-2 minutes on ssd 5-15max seconds, huge difference.
3. Rumors that ssd's have short life spawn is just rumors, he probably outlive your hdd. Just stick to manufacturers like crucial, plextor, intel, samsung. I don't recommend any ssd's from OCZ (Vector, Vertex) and models Samsung 840 EVO and Plextor M6 Pro.

 

Have to ask you about the Samsung 840 Pro.. I have 2x 512GB in raid 0 and I just want them to last as long as possible. Should I move my games onto the Barracuda? I say this thinking oiy, waiting 2 min to play a game would be torturous.

Unlike Samsung 840 EVO, Samsung 840 Pro is a good piece of technology and will last a lifetime, use them as you like don't worry about. By the way, ssd do not benefit from raid0 in your typical desktop tasks. Raid0 increases only sequential speed but decreases access time and unless you copy hundreds of terabytes per day, or working with massive raw video files, there is no point to put them in raid0.

I always get mixed up with that sort of thing.. They are a striped raid, stacked, like I want my VRAM to do.

[archav3n]

Load times seems pretty fast to me. I'm using Corsair XT 480GB though

[LSilvercloak]

I don't get it.  FWIW SSD makes no difference on my machine...

Only thing I can think of is that you have origin installed in Program Files (x86)?
