Very slow loading.

[ReallyDedPoet]

Minor issue for me. The load times are longer, but there is a lot more stuff in GWX. The wait is worth it in the end.

A tip, not only for SH3, but for all programs, defrag your drive at least once a week (I defrag my disks everyday), if you can invest on a good defrag program (diskeeper for example).
Also set your paging file to a fixed size, about one and a half times your physical ram, it prevents windows from increasing the page file every time you launch a memory demanding program.

Even with a defrag Ref it's slow. I ran my GWX career lastnight after a fresh defrag and it was still slow loading.

I've got 2gigs of RAM, a P4 3.2E CPU and it's still slow. I figure it's due to all the chnages incorporated in GWX, which isn't all that bad considering what we have. Single missions are actually slower than my career. I'd say it's something we just have to live with. And I don't mind, I like GWX just the way it is.

Its a trade of with load times and contents
The second load deals with the shipping\aircraft and campaign contents so the more you add the longer it takes

Thank you all for reply and advice. I can see that this is then the feature of new SH3 and not a problem. I'll try upkeep my HD more often and get some more memory.

For comparisons sake, I have a high end computer, dual core, 2g of Corsair pc3500 memory and my game loads in 20-40 seconds and the career loads 1-1/4 to 2 minutes.

I think BB is right...about the 'trade off'...thankfully everyone realises different machine specs = different loading times....and the wait is def worth it
