Guild Wars 2

Hi all. I need some tips about reducing the loading screen time. I usually play with almost maxed out….maybe this is the problem?
I usually need fast loading screen when i farm with a group some champions, but sometimes i miss some of them cuz of the 100 decades i wait to load.
If it matters, then my OS is:
I3-2100 3.1 GHz
GTX 660 ti 2 GB
4 GB RAM
Windows 7 64-bit

So is my CPU the main cause or should i lower the graphics settings (and put it at low, medium or which settings should i lower?)

Place the game in SSD and enjoy a 4-5 sec loading screen

But with your i3, it would be around 7-10 sec

If it’s a HDD, defragment it once in a decade …

Don’t have an SSD, sadly. Seems it’s all about the CPU. Oh well, thx for the answer.

An SSD helps a lot. More RAM definitely helps. I had 4 GB memory earlier, and have installed an extra +8GB for 12GB Ram in total and I’ve noticed a HUGE decrease in loading times.

Setting visuals and stuff to lower setting will also reduce loading times. If you don’t want to expand your computer (cause this obviously costs money), reduce the visual settings in options.

The option that has the most impact on loading times is the one that has the options of: Native, Subsample and Supersample. With Native obviously having the smallest loading times, but also making your graphics look really crap.

Just keep this in mind: Less visual stuff to load = less loading times.

If anything, you can just set all settings to lowest quality while you’re champ farming, and then put it back to what you have now when you’re doing other stuff, so you can still enjoy the game fully in all it’s beautiful glory.

I have an i7-3770k and 8GB RAM, the rest is about the same as you

I have installed GW2 both on my 2TB HDD and my 128GB SSD

Loading times for Lion’s Arch at NA peak time
HDD: 1:25 (85 seconds)
SDD: 0:08 (8 seconds)
Measured with Stopwatch.

There is nothing else that makes as much difference as an SSD drive in life.

• SSD improves time to read data from the hard drive.
• Reducing graphics quality means less texture data needs to be read from the hard drive, thus improving load times.
• Reducing character quality further reduces the amount of texture and animation data that needs to be loaded.
• Reducing number of characters displayed reduces both data loaded, and reduces network load as it doesn’t need to transmit character location and model data
• Network latency to the servers will severely impact load times.. don’t download in the background?

Play with those settings to see improvements.
