Ok, Ok, so we all have the same problem. It takes mine 5 minutes 38 seconds for the red bar to load. 10 seconds for the game to start after that. But now I am told that I do not have GWX 2.0 loaded. I'll be back.......

Man, let me send you a case of your favorite beverage.

My kids love GWX 2.0, they like to hear the wolf howl, so I load it as often as I can!

Keeps them happy!

If you are reeeealy geeky and have plenty of RAM and can great a 1GB RAM drive (and still leave your system with 2GB RAM for playing) you can use a program like Junction to create symbolic links (NTFS junctions) to the RAM drive. Then copy the campaign files to that location on your RAM drive. When your campaign loads, its limited by the speed of your CPU and RAM. Goes from loading times measured in minutes to times measured in seconds....

I've used this techniques in various games. Use a utility like Filemon to find out which files take the longest to load, and simply put those files on the RAM drive, create the link, and watch it go.

Thats bloody interesting mate!

Make mine a large one.....and......I don't mean bath water

Well... It's simple. Never run GWX2 on this coffee-mill you have)) Throw it out, and buy normal PC. What do you like more, coffee or Silent Hunter?)
I have loading time 5-7 minutes with merged campaign on, and high-res skin pack included. If you're not loading a save each time you missed a ship, and play normally without loadings (realistic way, i think) it doesn't bothers a lot. The result is worth for waiting...
