Slow Loading Time?

[Proudy]

My loading time for Kane's Wrath is stupidly slow. I have enough time to boil some water, brew a cuppa tea and make a snack, then get back to the game sometimes before it starts. When it does finally load, the game is perfect and I have no complaints about the performance.

Normal Tiberium Wars is fine, it loads in just a few moments.

I'm running it on a freshly defragged system with a 3ghz processor and 1gb RAM with nothing else running at the same time.

Does anybody else have this problem? Or a way to fix it? :wtf:

Cheers,

Proudy

KW does load slower than TW for me, but nothing too major. Just a few seconds or so - certainly not enough time to go and boil some water!

Loads slower than TW for me as well, but not slow enuf to write home about.

[Daishi]

Loads faster for me. That, and the menu screen gets a full 30 FPS.

And not to mentions the Constant Desyncs when I am beating someone ... anyone

I've got the same problem to a T. The load-times are stupidly-slow, and the video playback sometimes desynchronizes with the audio... of course once I get into the game, everything runs smoothly, and the menus are smooth... it's just the loadtime...

if i may place this out
maybe its ur internet or internet connection >.> its in my opion
but still i have a great load in
its the uploading and downloading is where is the most problem but thats about it what i see
(some of this might have been posted) but i just throwing things out

I think you need more ram. Btw KW is fast for me.

Well, then, I must be the saddest person in here. My comp takes nearly 5 mins to go to the title screen, about another 4 mins to enter a skirmish game. And when I play it, it is slow for Nod or GDI, but never slow for Scrin. Idk why. Especially if I built Shredder turrets or such. But never Scrin! Luckily, I prefer to play as Scrin most of the time, but I feel sad because I like Nod too. Sometimes, if too many actions occur simultaneously while I play (superweapons and/or support powers) my computer lags, and freezes, then jumps to my desktop again and minimizes the game. Then I can't reopen it again, because it is not responding. To my great despair, I need to use task manager to close it, ending my game. Reasons for these anomalies?

Yes. Same goes for me too.., my genuine KW loads slower than TW for me but not enough time to boil some water, brew a cuppa tea and make a snack hehe

Could be a bug or something like that.. up till now, it's hard to solve the problem.

Only good explanation is specs, but that doesnt help much.

Yes I know this thread is dead but to me its still a problem, so I reply to you because its not to bad I spend about 3 minutes to get it going.

[Frost Phantom]

chances are its ur specs but then again with 3ghz and 1gb ram that realy shouldnt take like 5minutes to load....try running a defrag incase your harddrive has broken the world record for Most Fragmented Disk EVER! :P cuz defragging usualy helps unclog some crap but im buggered for any other ideas XD

[Coldwar05]

well, it used to, my old pc (now not working) used to do that, but then again it was a .... hm I think a 2004 maybe a 2005 pc

[gtxluis]

Don't you think operating systems have a part in the delay?..
I think the application fetches different variables in different locations then executes these variables before you get to the main menu.. variables which should only be accessed when needed are loaded into the game during the loading..

[Kellogen]

It runs slower on my end too..Dont know why, it has one more button.
