lol what was that .. instead of admitting the problem

thx for the fix

I am also experiencing VERY slow loading times; it took me 10 minutes!!!! to get to the crown pavillion, and worse of all, when he does load the screen, For several minutes i cannot see my character and I can only move on the minimap, while my vierw is constantly going forth and back.

This happens all over the place, so not only in the crown pavillion, but several times on Lion’s Arc also

It really bothers me, as it takes away good gaming time, and I also never play when I have only 15 minutes to play, since playing would take to much loading time

Thanks ANet for fixing the loading screen issue. I was one of the people who posted here having a problem with longer than usual loading screens and it was fixed after the last patch.

Thanks again!

Hey MasterYoda – It looks like we suggested deleting the local.dat file and following up with a repair. How did that work out for you?

Well, does it help??? And can I mdo that also? The game is unplayable for me at the moment, since loading costs more than five minutes on my machine…

ANET fixed the loading time issues.
Thank YOU

Not true! I entered the game 1,5 hours ago and it took me HALF AN HOUR to get from the black citadel to the crown pavillion (only used the waypoint and the door to the pavillion) before I could walk (my charactre seemed to emerge after 20 minutes, but She ahd no body and only on the minimap I could see my walking progress..

The loading issue was not that severe. Half an hour loading screens was basically unheard of… this seems to be an issue on your part. You did know that the graphics options were reset in the maintenance, right? You may have yours set to settings that are significantly higher than your computer can handle.

I have this problem as well, but I assume its just because the large influx of players since the new update.
Give it a week or so, should go back to normal.

The patch did more to help than redown loading the Dat file again and thanks for the patch.

•Fixed a bug that would cause some maps to take longer to load than was necessary.

Fixed, thank you

Fixed for me – many thanks to all for the help

Well, I certainly did not know the graphic options were reset (and my graphic card is momentarily very basic), so that is a useful hint. Although my game is running very smoothly, AFTER it is loaded, so the graphics have no trouble then… it is just the switching of locations that takes forever (kind of like flying it like WoW)

I made a ticket and the problem seems solved now! I switch screens/waypoint very fast now!

I’ve deleted the local.dat folder and it did not help at all.

SSD this, SSD that.

The load times have been garbage 100% of the time for people with HDDs. And sometimes, my character and the camera is the last thing to load! I lost count of how many times I tagged a world boss using just my minimap and the cursor

My loading screens are also very long.

specs of computer…

download speed test on ISP website

download upload ping
85-95mb/sec 10mb/sec 25ms

OS: windows 7 pro 64bit
CPU: AMD FX 8120 Eight Core Processor ~3.9GHz sometimes I overclock it to 4.5GHz and I don’t see any differences for the game performance(probably because its already quire powerful enough as it is)
RAM: 8GB ram
Direct X: 11
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti 4gb memory
Current Display Mode: 1920 × 1080 (32bit) (60Hz) (game performance does not change if I drop or push higher)

I also play World of Warcraft. and I can play the game at FULL graphic settings, with absolutely no problems even in PVP or big raids…. Loading screens are ALWAYS less than 5 seconds

so why would I have 20-30 seconds loading screen here? it has been like this for almost a year, it just randomly started after some update or what not. that really needs a fix, its a problem on your side not the players…. if you ever tell me my computer isn’t strong enough then I don’t think anyone should play the game because I know for a fact that I have a pretty powerful machine compare to a big percentage of the players and I still get that Loooooooooong loading screen

that was my input for the day

thank you for reading
