Kyhiker Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Is it me or is anyone else find that Alderaan takes forever to load compared to the rest of the planets?? Seems it takes a good 2 to 3 minutes to load. I can go fix me a sandwich and come back and it is still loading. What gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alderaan does take longer to load than the other planets but it also has to do with many other things, hard drive type, processor, video card, internet latency, etc. I just checked and it loaded in 18 seconds for me.

JediQuaker Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Yes, I find that Alderaan seems to take the longest to load. You could reduce all your load times by putting SWTOR on an SSD. (SSD cuts load times by about 1/2.) Edited March 24, 2021 by JediQuaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiltoftheDragon Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Alderaan used to be brutal on my old rig. I built a new rig for cyberpunk 2077 ( yea yea, i know...ive already heard it all ) and now i have no issues with loading times anywhere i go. The addition of ssd's made a huge difference with Swtor.

On my old laptop I used to find Balmorra the worst, used to call it lagmora , no idea if they actually improved it, or it's my new desktop, but I don't have much issues these days (thankfully) takes time to reassemble the planet post 1977. too soon man, too soon Edited March 23, 2021 by DarkTergon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitir Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Tattoine is worse... one minute loading time, before the music starts playing... game s on an SSd , Tatt and Alde, still both need the same loading times... sits there forever, then after ages music starts playing, then it loads the planet... never changed, always was like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadsil Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 It takes a long time to recreate a planet that was blown up into billions of pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiltoftheDragon Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 It takes a long time to recreate a planet that was blown up into billions of pieces. That wont happen until about another 3000 years(bby's) iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDutchman Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Never noticed any real difference on any planet, even on my old computer. Current one can load any of them in around 5-6 seconds. Old one was around 10 seconds Mind you I haven't played on a HDD for many years, and always had reasonably beefy other components to go with it, so no bottlenecks there. If SWTOR isn't on an SSD, put it on one, 95% of the time, this will make everything better. If it doesn't, you're probably have either a really old/low quality SSD, bottlenecking on processor (ex. lower end mobile chip) or perhaps running out of RAM and it's doing some paging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthCasus Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I wish I could tell you the exact amount of time Alderaan and Tatooine used to take to load but I recall clocking about 8 minutes on a very old rig and if I touched a key during the loading process, it would cause the game to become unresponsive and potentially crash lol Now on the rig I built around late 2018 (using moderately decent parts, nothing 'cutting edge'), about 22 seconds depending on where I'm loading in from. My SH makes it 18-19 seconds sometimes, fleet tends to be the low 20's. I'd say a marked improvement if you asked me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
