For those with long game load times

TDK1044 · 09-02-07, 10:11 AM

I've read some posts suggesting that some people experience load times of 5 minutes or more with SH4. I'm well into my third career, and my load times have never been greater than 2 minutes and thirty seconds from the point when I click on 'Load Game' to the point where I'm in the control room hearing "All Stop". Also, I never get repeat missions. I may get a mission again that I ran 5 missions ago, but I never get the same mission twice in a row.

I think the reason for this, which the purists will hate, is that I never go in for refits. I complete my assigned mission and report that fact. I am then assigned a second mission. I complete that mission also, and then I head for home without reporting the success of my second mission. By not reporting it, I will not be assigned a third mission, which would certainly require a refit stop.

I now head home and get my credit for tonnage sunk and possibly a medal, and then I reload and head out on my next mission.

I offer this simply as info for those who are fed up with long load times.
