1.01 load time problem

from PolMach Forums
Since patching to 1.01 the time to boot the game up has gotten extremely long. I'm guessing 5-7 minutes after starting the program before I can load a game. In Quickplay view you can see it slowly reeling off a list of things that it's loading. For example: Loading map: 72 seconds. Loading mainscreen: 32 seconds. Loading candidate create screen: 25 seconds.

This is far longer than it takes to load up a highly complex game like Papyrus' NASCAR 2004 or a WW2 flight sim.

We need some hardware info to help on that.

When playing the campaign (1.01 - excellent patch by the way) it takes about 2 minutes for the screen to load so I can accept the next challenger. Odd.

That is odd.  I play on my 1.6Ghz ThinkPad and going to the next screen is typically instant.  In fact, it almost sounds like we have the same machine except for mkmine being slower (ATI Radeon 9000).

Not to sound too lame buthave you defragged your hard drive? Perhaps it's something as simple as that.
