Guild Wars 2

So I don’t have much lag problems in this game or fps issues. But I’m getting 20 second to 1 minute + loading times when switching zones or logging into a character. This has been since day one. Anyone know how to fix this or is ArenaNet working to fix this?

I’m using an i5 2500k processor.

How much ram do you have? also your harddisk space and model? Have you tried to defragmenting it? Are you also running any programs that use your hard disk heavily?

Don’t know the exact model but I have a 500gb hardrive. 64g left of space. Mainly only running mumble and gw2 when I’m playing sometimes chrome. I have 8gb of ram but using Windows 7 32bit so it doesn’t fully utilize it.

I have not tried defragmenting in a long long time.

Well that’s one of the problem try to defrag it and atleast free space (HD should have atleast 20% free space) Try turning off mumble see if that helps as well. Make sure you also have atleast 4GB+ rams.

If you want to have a faster load time invest on a SSD (They cost around 100$ for 120gb these days). Windows and some games loading times should be 5x-10x faster.

This can’t be “normal” though can it? And I’ve turned off mumble it is not the problem. At the moment I can’t afford 100$ ssd

Afaik it’s normal for 7200rpms drive. I have an SSD and loading times vary from 5-10sec vs my desktop pc (7200rpm) would turn 15~20+sec just loading lion’s arch. As per suggestion you can try defrag or stop processes/programs that you’re not using.

What hard drive exactly? If it’s an old 5400rpm drive then yes, 1 minute load times are to be expected.

It’s normal for HDDs to loose their read/write speeds when they start filling up. And since you have like 64GB left, then it’s to be expected.

same problem here … since 2 days ago when i had my phenom ii 955 be the loading times were good … now i bought an i5 3470 ivy and the loading times are a bit higher .. the game runs really smooth on HIgh settings im very content about my new cpu .. but theres a problem on the loading
