[2022] EXTREMELY slow loadtimes

This only happens in MP, is that right? And only with one particular other player, you can play with some third person okay?

If that is so, can that second person also play okay with some third person, or they have a problem then too? Does it make any difference who is host/

And finally, has it always been like this with this game for you/them? Or it was okay up to some point?  

This game does naturally have a fairly long load time; on my fairly modest rig it took 4:34 to get from PLAY in our launcher to the main game menu, then only a few seconds to load an actual save from that menu. If you are hitting Resume in our launcher, you get both of those together.

Has it always been like this with this game for you/them? Or it was okay up to some point?


DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.
