Does anyone else take unusually long times to load into a game? Its really putting me off playing bf3. I guess i have a decent computer. i52500k, 6950, 4gb ram

Any Suggestions on how to decrease loading times.

edit: It takes more than 2 minutes... and usually i just give up and quit.

what is long exactly? i dont know how long mine takes, its quick so ive never timed it

It takes a while to open the game initially at times for me, I have an i5 750 5850 and 4 gigs of ram. Like Sadact I've never timed it though.

same prob bud 90% of peeps are in game and 2 Mcoms armed by the time I load in

i7 950
2 x gtx 295's in SLi
NEEDS SSD!
8 gig ram

It only every takes me a long time when I first start BF3. If I go play another server no loading issues.

I could cold boot PC and load up BF3 twice in the time it takes you to load in... go buy an SSD

It depends on what settings etc, sometimes i get loading times on low of literally 5 seconds and other times its a minute >< on high its usually 1 minute + loading times however (running i5 760, 4gb ram and a GTX 460)

i know a mate who has an ssd with the same specs as me and it takes me less time to load bf3- i don't think an ssd would help. i also know other friends with ssds and i load faster

My bf3 takes a fair while to load all the original maps once I've played them all though it takes only a few seconds to load in ( normally 30seconds -1minute)

mine goes quickly, but the longer i play bf3 the more my computer decides to run slower load slower and just contract aids in general

on bf3 first start up and every other map takes me about 10 seconds to load but if its the same map or a smaller map only about 3 or 4 seconds normally i get in while its still waiting for players to join.

i run 8 gig of vengeance 2600k @ 4.6 and a 6870 ATM along with a 120gig force serious 3.

Moral of the story. want faster load times you can either upgrade to 8 gig of ram or buy an ssd or lower your settings right down

this ^^

Can't really help you as I'm another one of the neglected 200 series gfx card users with 32 bit win7 that is unable to run the game for more than 20 minutes at a time. GG drivers.

lol'd

I heard having more than 8gb of ram helps loading times
