Ridiculous load times.

[BlazingTrigger]

Back in the days of DCS 1.5x, 2.1 and 2.2, when loading into multiplayer I'd have no issues. game loaded fine, in the select role screen and within around 5-10 seconds I was able to select an aircraft and move my mouse up and down on the screen and the aircraft under the cursor would highlight smoothly. This was even in servers with a lot of triggers and complexity.

 

Since DCS 2.5 (in both stable and OB) whenever I play multiplayer, I have around a 1 minute load to get into the select role screen (around normal in previous versions) then to get the aircraft to highlight smoothly (mission fully cached) takes around 6-8 minutes on a typical load.

 

My settings have remained the same across the versions except in 2.5 where I lowered the preload radius.

 

System specs:

i5-6600K OC to 4.3 GHz

ASUS GTX 1080 OC

32GB DDR4 3000MHz RAM.

Installed on a 1TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD.

Internet is a 48Mbps connection (remained the same).

 

Is there any thoughts that may help the load times? I have friends with similar specs and have no load time issues (around 15 secs to be fully cached).

 

Thanks for reading and sorry for the long post.

With 32GB you dont lower the preload radius, you max it out

However I'm still suffering massive loading times which I shouldn't be with my specs etc.
