Guild Wars 2

The picture is a little old (about a month or so) but it is the most extreme example I have currently.

The magic thing your looking for is the “ElapsedWaitTime:” which is 167.7 (seconds)

The second magic thing your looking for is “ModelLoadCompletion:” Which is 15.92%

This load screen in the end actually took about 190s total (give or take 10 seconds).

This means the game has loaded 15.92% in the past 167.7 seconds (ALMOST 3 MINUTES!)

I know I’m not the only person to be affected by this, any word on whether this being worked on or not would be greatly appreciated.

I have this sometimes, especially in LA. Luckily, with the advent of Shared Inventory Space, I seldom have to load into LA, anymore. At least, not in the common areas. It doesn’t take me near as long to load into the end of JPs in LA, where I have some characters parked.

Perhaps, some day, I will be fortunate enough to get an SSD, and leave these long load times behind. =)

Even though my HDD is a bit out of date it does not under NORMAL circumstances take 3 minutes to load into Lions Arch.

My NORMAL load time into LA is 1 minute 30 seconds if it is the first map I load on starting the game, about 1 minute or less if I started the game in another map.

I think this has less to do my hardware and more to do with something else, I won’t pretend that I have any clue.

I’ve had something I believe to be similar. Although my main difference is that when this happens (“really long load times”) it never finishes, the client just hangs indefinitely. Usually after 4/5 minutes I’d force close and just restart, but the one day I left it as I went to go take care of some household crap I had to do, came back later to see that it had (at some point) actually crashed out and had the error report box up.

So yea, something is definitely astray here!
