Speeding up GWX3 loading time

Paul Riley · 07-29-11, 10:20 AM

Is there a way of speeding up the loading time of GWX3?.Also,is a lot of this 'lag' caused by the ever increasing number of mods we have installed?

Thanks

Do not think so, as long as you do not have Indian ocean camp....then is can take some more time

The answer is yes...the more mods you have installed the more memory is taken up by them.

Remember, the game engine of SH3 is designed in such a way that the complete SH3 world and everything scripted into it are loaded together...therefore your best bet is not to have the merged campaign enabled but rather just the theatre of operations you find yourself in.

You've certainly nothing to apologise for...at least your trying

You could try the Reduced Campaign Layers mod

the idea being that rather than load all the traffic in the world, you just load in traffic for the North Atlantic.

Haven't tried it myself though, so I can't comment on how effective it is
