P4 3 Ghz
2 GB RAM
800 Mhz FSB
S-ATA HD

Exactly the same specs here and 5-7 minutes....but i can do 6 espressi in that time...

no manual targeting possible after that...:roll:

cheers,

Right then....:D

Here's the vital stats.
View these and then try to argue that the load times are unreasonable.

Stock 1.4b:
Air Units = 13
Sea Units = 49
U-Boats+Subs = 8
SCR Campaign = 19249 lines
RND Campaign = 402082 lines
LND Campaign = 11968 lines
Total = 433299

GWX 2.0:
Air Units = 40
Sea Units = 182
U-Boats+Subs = 24
SCR Campaign = 486859 lines
RND Campaign = 629050 lines
LND Campaign = 53925 lines
Total = 1169834 :o :rotfl:

Thats a 169.98% increase in campaign scripting alone. Don't forget, when you click START, all the items above are loaded each & every time into your PC's memory.

:hmm: Are you starting to understand why GWX takes a bit longer to load?:arrgh!:

BBW's keyboard must be smoking!:rotfl:

Dronston 02-26-08 05:25 PM

Well don't get me wrong, I am not dissing GWX here. It is an awesome mod. I am merely expressing my own impatience...:smug:


:up:

Why not ask your wife or partner if they could find something for you to do around the place whiles your waiting. I feel sure that after they give you a job or two to do. You would never ever complain about the loading times again :)

Now I'm a coffee drinker.
I haul ground coffee into the house in the 55 gallon drum!
Drum-O-Coffee!!!
But some of you must be doing the intraveineuse feed
or doing shooters!!!
:o
Heck!
You get that wired up and a minute car wash would be WAY to slow!
:lol:

Put the coffee down and step away from the computer!!!
Don't make us Taser you!!!

GWX load times are unreasonable.

Any programmer worth his salt would have figured out a way to make my game load NOW! So I can play NOW! Also, GWX killed my cat!

Now, where did I put my copy of Silent Service???:p

Why do I have time for two cups of coffee ?

<tongue in cheek>

Because they didn't know how to stretch it out to three cups of coffee!!! :rotfl:

You mispelled "intravenous" you! :stare:

Get it straight fer once! :lol: :lol: :lol:

For those wishing to reduce the loading times in GWX, I recommend total removal of the campaign files so all that data doesn't have to pass through the bottleneck.

Who needs a campaign anyway.

:rotfl:

HundertzehnGustav 02-27-08 06:48 AM

i NEED champaign, what you got against champaign anyway?
no champaign, no sense in SH III or GWX.
:o :hmm:

Meh! I say :shifty:

Good things come to those who wait, or so I'm told :smug:

spoiled, I say :D

You young whippersnappers have it easy (really, you do!)

I had to beta test GWX on a 1ghz processor with 1gb memory, and not only did I have time for 2 cups of coffee, I had time to do the shopping too...

But did I complain.... no, no sir, I persisted, and loaded up the game, again and again, and got all the laundry done too, and the dishes, and, and...

and I ingested more coffee than can possibly have been good for me, :o :o

can't you tell? :arrgh!:

Well in my current computer, its exactly 4 minutes to load the main screen and 7 minutes to load the carrer. I double click sh3.exe and go to the bathroom, comeback to my room and change my cloathes. The screen loads, I click load game or start patrol and go downstairs to prepare my dinner.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

That's just the way it is...
