Fiesbert Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Long loading timesSWTOR takes forever to load. Especially with the rather yesterdayish graphics in mind. I made a comparison video how long Batman Arkham City, Battlefield 3 and the Witcher 2 take to load in comparison to SWTOR.Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGeXR2vostULoading times: SWTOR 34 secondsBatman Arkham City 28 secondsBattlefield 3 24 seconds the Witcher 2 10 seconds################################## 34 seconds############################ 28 seconds ###################### 24 seconds ########## 10 seconds Its kind of strange that DirectX 11 games like Witcher 2 load up to three times faster than SWTOR. In the case of Battlefield 3 there are maps as big as a whole planet of SWTOR with up to 32 players (twices as many as in SWTOR warzones), a lot better graphics, a lot better sound, a lot more effects, yet still it loads in 2/3 of the time SWTOR takes to load.Oh and I even was generous with the SWTOR loading time. Since I took a quick load. Most of the time SWTOR takes more than a minute to load. Annoying!

amnie Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I'd rather compare it with an MMO (I suggest FFXIV, has the best graphics for an MMO - that I know of, anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsenng Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Well. I have the opposite loading times as you do.. Swtor 22 seconds on avrg ( did a run over zoning 10 times) Battlefield 3 1.5minutes. Basically on every map i try to load in. So i dunno..and anyway 30 sec not really long loadingtimes..you should compare to other mmo's not other regular games since most mmo's are damn slow on the loadingtimes.

You are quite an exception then. All my guildmates and friends I played with experience equally higher loading times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UI does not need to be reloaded every time you change zones (it is just hidden until the new zone finishes loading). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriviumIsGOAT Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) The maps in Mass Effect 3 (another bioware game) which has like infinently better graphics load in about 3-6 seconds on my computer, while I miss que pops all the time while loading into Tatoonie, belselvis or corellia which means its over a min of load time prolly a min and a half for corellia. The Fleet takes a good 30-45 seconds. Edited August 1, 2012 by TriviumIsGOAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
