RAM : 2048 Mb/800MHz

VGA: GeForce 8600 GT

CPU: AMD Athlon X2 5200+

MOTHERBOARD: ASUS M2A VM

Start with performing a DxDiag and attach the output file here - that way we can hopefully ensure that your system is healthy. Help on how to perform that is available in this thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=44466

 

Also, welcome to the forum and love the screen name. :)

I think this is the important info we need about my system if I wrong correct me pls THANKS :)

That does look healthy enough.

 

Have you checked if the load times change if you disable sound and disconnect all unecessary peripherals? (Start a mission without joystick, pedals or anything like that connected. Don't have to wait a full 45 minutes if it seems to still have the issue though - if the issue is solved through that it'll be noticed in a few minutes and we could then isolate the source.)

 

It would be interesting to see the part that shows which keyboard, mouse and joystick you use. There have been issues with the Microsoft Sidewinder mouse, for example.

[Erdogan]

I tried out without yojstick and sound but the loading time is the same 45 :S

[EtherealN]

Could you share the part of your DxDiag file that lists those peripherals? It's a lot easier to build a picture if one can browse through the whole system, so to speak.

 

Aside from that, I'll have to do a bit of digging to see if I can come up with possible solutions.

 

Also, which version of the simulator do you run? 1.0.1c? If so, you could uninstall it and reinstall and then see if the same behaviour manifests in a clean 1.0.0 installation.

[Erdogan]

At the first time I played with the 1.0.0 version = 45 min

And later I patched up it to 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a and b after it I installed the c

and but the loading time don't changed shorter than 45..

 

Actually now i'm thinking for buy more 2Gb RAM and a WIN 7 system i heard abot that is the WIN 7 is beter for DCS...

 

HERE IT IS THANK YOU Panzertard

1. "Go Advanced"

2. "Manage Attachements"

3. "Upload"

[EtherealN]

Unfortunately I didn't find anything conclusive in your DxDiag file, Erdogan. :(

 

There's no glaring registry issues that I was able to see, so the only thing that raised an eyebrow is this:

 DirectX Files Tab: The file directx.cpl is a debug version, which will run slower than the retail version.

 

Never seen that before, so while it might possibly be causing the issue you are experiencing it is not the same issue where we have previously been able to reach a solution.

 

You could uninstall DirectX and then reinstall it and see if the behaviour changes, but since that one is mainly related to the Control Panel rather than the dynamic link libraries of DX I don't think it really makes a difference. :/

Your Nvidia-driver is older that the Queen of England;

      Driver Name: nv4_disp.dll
  Driver Version: 6.14.0011.5827 (English)
     DDI Version: 9 (or higher)
Driver Attributes: Final Retail
Driver Date/Size: 5/10/2007 23:03:00, 5421312 bytes

Not that the video-driver would cause these slowdowns, but it indicates to me that you may not have full control on how your ocmputer is put together - and some of your other system drivers may be too old as well.

 

Sound drivers a bit old as well;

            Driver Name: RtkHDAud.sys
        Driver Version: 5.10.0000.5391 (English)
     Driver Attributes: Final Retail
           WHQL Logo'd: Yes
         Date and Size: 3/26/2007 12:21:06, 4395008 bytes

 

AS for the DxDiag note found, already mentioned by Ethereal;

------------

DirectX Files Tab: The file directx.cpl is a debug version, which will run slower than the retail version.

I would take this as an indication that you may have installed different versions of DirectX on your computer - and you may have conflicting components there as well.

 

If I found this setup at a friends computer I would have gone through every component of the system and updated it's drivers.

I would also have done a full health-check on the system, because it indicates that he may not have been fully aware of all the things happening in a OS over a 2 year period.

 

I dont say you're sloppy taking care of your computer - but you may need some help from a friend to do a checkup to see if everything is okai. :)

Update the drivers, ensure that you get rid of all software pieces that you dont use any more. Disk-healt checks, anti-virus (or oher kind of malware) checkups - the full job. :)

 

If you can start doing this by yourself that would be even better - you may learn a few new things about your computer :)

" MY HEART IS BEATING THE BLADES ARE SPINNING "

 

I uninstalled the win XP and installed the win 7 and now its finally working. 2 minute loading time I hope it's will be working for a long time.

Now I can go and upgrade my ka50 experience before trying the online war.

 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE HELPS AND THE PATIENCE !!!:):):)

[Panzertard]

:thumbup: Glad to hear you got it sorted by upgrading to another os.

[Boulund]

Actually, I'm -not- glad it got sorted by upgrading to another OS. It's just another way of saying "we have no idea what fixed the problem". This isn't problem solving (technically it is, since the problem is solved... but in a lousy way =D) but problem by-passing. I'd love to know what really caused these 20min loading times! =)

[EtherealN]

Well, in the case of the OP we know with some certainty what caused it - a very unhealthy system with severe registry issues and possibly broken drivers.

 

As for the latter case - harder to say. There are similar indicators but this kind of issue would have to be replicated in a controlled environment before a specific cause can be pinpointed. And it is not an easy thing to break a system on purpose in a way that would replicate several years of accidental wear and tear.
