Default Intializing times?

Ok bought myself a new quicker computer win 7, so why does it take so long to intialize sometimes 2 to 3 min. Is there anything you can do to make it quicker.

Win 7 32 bit
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 2833 Mhz
4096 mb (2x 2048 DDR-SDRAM
Geforce GTX 260

It takes that long that people drop sick of waiting, Any ideas??

2 to 3 mins? Count yourself lucky - my system takes between 3 mins (Black Sea campaign) and 9 mins (Merged campaign) to load up.

Your only as fast as the slowest computer from those on the server you are playing with. So until all players have loaded the game you will have to wait.

If all players have the "GWX no land unit mod" which was provided to us by the Great Jimbuna , than load times would be under a minute as it does not load the entire world.

It will just load the area of the world that the map was made in.

The next trick is getting all players to have and enable this superb mod.

Your too kind my friend

I do remember the conversation we had at the time though about how long the mod took for another party when compared to the time I spent.
