This was posted by someone over at the Guru3d forums.

 As odd as this may sound, the "loading" screen is just a prerendered .bik movie in your BioGame>Movies folder. Because of this, the game only loads when the .bik movie is finished playing, not when the game is actually loaded.

To fix this, simply go to your MassEffect2>BioGame>Movies folder, rename "load_f01" to "load_f01-bak", then copy "load_f99" and rename "load_f99 - Copy" to "load_f01". This should reduce your load time to about 3 seconds. Don't worry about the game loading improperly, because it won't thanks to BioWare making use of Unreal Engine 3's streaming feature ( loading the levels on the fly ).

I went ahead and compiled a set of replacement load screens for those of you who are interested. Please remember to back up your original load_fxx files before replacing them in case there's ever a reason you wish to rollback.

cool, I always wondered why the game seemed to take so long to load when I died in the same room I quicksaved in.

im not so sure about that

as when i move to different deck on the Normandy i some times dont even see the load screens

[Lavans6879]

Indeed, some of the transition screens for the Normandy don't take long at all. But there are plenty of other instances where you're sitting back in your chair and twiddling your thumbs, waiting longer than you have to.



Some people just don't care about watching loading screens. Cudos to BioWare for making them innovative enough to give a player an idea as to how the transition from area A to area B works, but players that have already played through the game 2 or 3 times, they would probably just skip the loading screens if possible. These files allow the player to do just that.

i think i clocked my longest load at like 10 sec so meh

[Lavans6879]

Granted, though not everyone has a super awesomely fast computer, Elios. =/

In my opinion that screen is a clever idea to hide the initial stuttering that could appear after loading an area on a weaker pc system.

Why couldn't they just load the environment when its loaded instead of playing through the rest of the animation, or give the player an in game option to set their preferences. The loading time screen waits add up.

i wished i had this kind of problem but my load times are about 1 minute+ even on the ship from deck to deck. until now (when i read that actually load times should have improved from me1 to me2) i thought "very nice game, but the load times suck". i'm not alone, but maybe its just a fragmentation issue.



(pc should be up to the task, with a 3ghz core2duo, geforce gts 250, wd raptor hd - windows vista sp1 32)

dukem: sounds like you need a fresh windows installation

[psykpsyk]

Thx for the tip! It's awesome!

[PSUHammer]

NO NEED TO CHANGE GAME FILES!



Just follow this short and sweet trick:

Didn't you have the issues in DA:O?

[Lavans6879]

Changing the processor affinity does nothing for me. Most .bik files still need a full playback before allowing me into the game.

The old download links died. I updated the first post with new download links.

load_f21 and load_f22.
