Any offical/unoffial word on load times

[stumpndum]

I love the TW series but i found that my decent computer had waaaay too long load times for Shogun2 and FOTS, 1-2 sometimes even three mins for loading the game, starting/loading campaign and loading battles so i was wondering if anyone can comment on how the load times are? I know lots of it depends on your computer but it also has a bit to do with the games themselves.

For all these videos they have done a masterful job avoiding showing loading screens.

The loading screen at Razeed for the battle of the Nile (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPQCn...xITR2L&index=3)

It lasted from 27:49 to 29:19 so exactly 90 seconds for a scripted historical battle. That is on a PC that definitely didn't have a SSD.

Expect roughly the same loading times as in S2.

Switching to DX9 (from DX11) can reduces load times a lot since DX9 requires much less CPU power when loading the game.
If you have a hard drive you can try to defragment it (never defrag a SSD!) or to get a SSD.
