My girlfriend’s GW2 takes a very long time to initially startup. From pushing the ‘Play’ button to the character select screen it takes 49 seconds. All other loading in the game seems fine. I know this amount of time seems inordinately large because mine takes about 6 seconds. She has tried the -repair command line though it didn’t change anything. I was wondering if anyone knew a fix for this long load.

Our specs aren’t drastically different (in terms of performance), but just in case it helps. Both have SSDs and both are Windows 7.

Hers is:
i5 4570 3.2GHz
8GB 1600MHz
Radeon 4870 1GB
PNY Optima 240GB SSD

Mine is:
Phenom II X4 980 3.7GHz
16GB 1333MHz
nVidia 660 Ti 2GB
Samsung 840 250GB

Oh, and besides the initial load the rest of the loading is fine. Any ideas for her getting into the game faster?

This is still a problem. Perhaps it is her slower connection? Do those of you with slower connections find you have to wait almost a minute to load up the game to the character select screen, initially? And those with faster ones, load up quickly? The other loads seem quick and fine though.
