stray cat Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I recently switched from a steam install to non steam. And the load times basically exploded. On steam the load time into the main menu after the first start is max 10 seconds. However on non-steam it is up to a minute. Could this be the copy protection getting in the way or checking files? Because it really sucks having the load time increase 4-6x after going on the supposedly less cumbersome non steam installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irregular programming Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Did you install the steam version on a different drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galagamo Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 assuming you reinstalled it on a hard drive, did you first run chkdisk and defrag before you reinstalled, and then another defrag pass after?

Para_Bellum Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'd make sure to check the HD, maybe it suffers from a couple of bad sectors. There shouldn't be any differences in loading times between the Steam and non-Steam versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
