Slow load time?

makky · 12-30-08, 10:32 AM

Downloaded GWX3.0 last night and is a very good mod but was just wondering if the very slow load time is on my end? Or maybe I installed it wrong ar am missing something? All the other silent hunter games load just fine (3&4) but it seems as if its just taking its time while loading ..Thanks

3.2ghz processor
windowsxp
1 gig RAM (about to be upgraded to 2)
512 Mb video card..

Hi makky, welcome to Subsim!

Load times in GWX are somewhat long. (As they are in most big mods for SH3) We are limited in some ways by the design of the game engine. Must data must pass through a narrow 'bottleneck' during loading.

The first time you load the game with GWX installed will be a bit longer than subsequent load times.

Unfortunately, it isn't something that we can change.

You should also feel the difference when you upgrade your system with another Gb of RAM. Especially if your motherboard supports dual ram channel which I think it does.

You have 1Gig,You need 2Gigs Of Ram
As SH3 Is 700mbs,
GWX 3.0 Brings it up to 1,400 as far as I Know Or Thereabouts,
Hence Your Slow Load Up.
Welcome Aboard,2 Gigs Is Highly Recommended,
As We Recommend in Multi-Play Mode

Next year I'm planning to upgrade several stuff in hardware at once.

Currently runing Epox AMD Sempron 3400+ socket 754

I'm thinking on swaping to something like
Asus or Foxcon motherboard + AMD Phenom X3 or X4 cpu with PCI-E and AGP SLI support (still having hopes to use my old GF6600 as secondary card

);
and maybe ASUS GF 8500GT MAGIC PCIE 512MB 128-BIT;
2x1GB Kingston DDR2;
Sata WD HDD 500 GB to support my old ATA 40 GB WD as secondary

So that is my plan on upgrade next year, any comments ? :hmm:

On the subject of load times, is it just me or does 3.0 load faster than previous versions? :hmm:
