I love this game, the music, the feel, characters, the story and more. Amazing job, will buy every sequel and expansion in the future.
Bought the main game at release, I think + the season pass.
However, the loading times are very frustrating.
I just Steam-downloaded and started 'The White March II' .. but after 10 minutes of playing, I just can't bring myself to continue.
I timed it. When I go from the Great Hall in Caed Nua to the courtyard area - it takes 25seconds to load.
I need this to take 2-3 seconds, that is the kind of speed I need for a pleasant experience.
It's so long, I'm literally close to standing up and walking around the room, or reaching for my phone to browse the internet.
You try looking at a loading screen for 25 seconds AFTER you loaded the game normally, just for a simple map transition. This can't be okay for you, this is no way to play a game.
My rig is pretty good.
Windows7 Pro, 64 Bit, SP1
Steam Version of game, updated today. But the problem has always been there.
I don't think it was like that in the beginning, but after I progressed a bit in the game, it got like this.
32GB Ram
i7-3930K @ 3.20 GHz (6-Core)
Samsung SSD 830
nVidia Geforce GTX 980
23GB of free space available on system SSD.
I save a lot. My latest savegames are now 7.7mb big.
I have Avira and Zonealarm running concurrently, but I do not think it makes a difference.
I really hoped it would be fixed with this new expansion.
I understand very little about software engineering, but can't you just load the whole game into my ram?
I have 32 GB of Ram and your game takes up 24GB at the moment.
Can't you just load all the map files, or what the heck, everything into my ram?
I would 100000% prefer to wait a few minutes when starting the game, if I can then play without all these interruptions during simple map transitions.
Also, simply saving the game takes too long. And loading too.
It should be instant, but it takes so many seconds, it takes me out of the experience. I actually dread pressing the saving-button.
