Hello. I have a question. A friend of mine his PC isn't that new, but he meets the mininum system requirements. But here is a problem. His loading times take sooooo long, like 10 minutes or so. And even when the game starts, the game starts before he is actually able to select where he wants to land. Everything is set to low in his settings. Help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.
Hello, It would be very helpful of your friend to post his Dxdiag so that I can diagnose the problem.
Sorry for the late reply, i'm the friend he is talking about. Here is the DxDiag file. Thanks in advance if there are any problems that can be solved.
Hi, Looking at his Dxdiag he doesn't have much ram. If he tries to load a map that is bigger than his memory then it loads on disk which is why it takes ages. Otherwise his system looks ok. I recommend as a test, create a map in system designer with a single r500 moon biome planet. Then host a skirmish game on it and record loading time. It should only take a min or so to load up if working properly, and a map that size should fit. Btw this will probably get better as the devs are working on reducing memory usage Edit: sorry you are the friend! Let me know how you get in with that test anyway...
Thanks, I'll have a look at how long it'll load by that test this weekend. I don't have a lot of time this week sadly. Untill then I'll pray for reduced memory usage
