Incredibly slow load time?
" Something is terribly wrong with your computer then. SSDs typically load 2-3 times faster than HDDs Even a shitty SSD can usually do about 200MB/sec while the best consumer hard drives usually top out at about 120MB/sec. You can get much faster with 15,000 rpm drives, but they generate insane amounts of heat. So unless you dished out about 500 bucks for a 500 gig drive, there is something else bottlenecking your machine. EDIT: You could likely benefit from profiling your machine. It examines things as they run and sees where the wait states are. HAIL SATAN! Dernière édition par tramshed#4306, le 9 févr. 2014 à 02:07:33

" Something is wrong, how much RAM you got? are you sure PoE is installed on the SSD and not on a normal hard drive? because 1min to load PoE on a SSD is almost impossible, something else is causing a bottleneck...is your SSD old and/or full capacity? Tech guy

yeah, it takes about 5 minutes to me to get to the title screen.

Don't know if it's been mentioned ( and I'm not looking for it lol), but I improved my load time dramatically by installing it on a different hard-drive

I always had to wait 1-2mins for my game to load. I stopped playing soon after Sacrifice of the Vaal came out. (not that it was bad) After an urge to play again, I loaded the game and it took about 4 mins. After forsaken masters came out, it took about 6 min. And after this recent hotfix, it took about 12 mins. Obviously my hard drive is getting hooked up on something. I heard something about defragmenting the content data to help clear out the old junk. Does GGG have their own defragmenter in the files or do I need to use some sort of manual method?

" the ggpk defrag application is linked in the Consolidated Technical sticky post. |

Okay guys, quit whining.
The reason it takes so long to load, is that it does a 'Pre-load' of the core of the game to reduce load times between area/acts. You *CAN* use the '--nopreload' I believe to bring down the main game load to about 10 seconds, but each time it loads an act or area, it will greatly increase those load times. (Not a good thing to have in a Ladder race). Personally, I can do a full load in about 30 seconds. Core I5-4570/8GB ram/Samsung EVO SSD. |

My game takes about 6-8mn to load. I know I'm not running a ton of RAM (4gb) but it's still kinda long... So I'm surprised people say it's long and then state it's 45seconds :D

" great post. i had no idea it was doing that. thx for the information. now we can atleast choose which option we prefer. |

In the matter i had this bug once, the game loade in in 3 seconds, BUT it had absolutly no sound, i think someone should look around this, i dont have time atm to do anything whit it.
