I have about a 2 1/2 to 3 min wait because I have over 50+ mods (effects, planes, etc.)
I have to wait a good minute or so. The same goes for when I'm loading up a mission, although the size of the map seems to affect that.
oh, about 30 seconds
with all possible mods in part I allocated most of the mods into RAM, so it accesses it much quicker
My load time has increased quite a lot. I figure around 2 min, and that on a quadcore.
There seem to be quantum leaps in load times too. For instance I was able to fly through loading of 30-90%, with just a small pause at 70%. And now after installing a few mods, the 70% mark suffers a long lag-time, almost as much as the 20% mark.
I must confess though that I have 234 directories in my mods folder. Probably far too many, but I will admit to being a glutton on that account.
My load time has gone from 5 seconds to 3 minutes. Some of the people I fly with online think its UI 1.1, as do I because IL-2 used to load a lot faster with UI 1.0.
What is loading at 20% and 70%?
Those are the longest pauses for me.
I have dumped a lot of stuff I do not need from 1.1 but load times are still long.
I've noticed that load times also vary depending on what you were doing just previously with your machine.
After using memory intensive applications, loading Il-2 takes considerably longer. And if you have to close and immediately reopen Il-2 for whatever reason, then the loading goes far quicker ...
I have just the UI 1.1 with patch and my game loads in around 6 or 8 seconds for my map maker install
I have another install of UI 1.0 with numerous maps ,aircraft ,skins and extra music files ete ete on a secondary internal hardrive
it also loads in around 8 seconds
My spec's ,
HP desktop with
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33 Ghz
RAM 6.00 GB
NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GS
750 gb sata hardrive
It may have a bit to do with how fast your computer can read everything
Put it another way - I have some 4 gig of mods ... they are all read while the game loads I surmise, so the more mods the longer the load time ...
Members with 8 second load times and such lightning loads - what's the size of your Mods folder? (excluding maps)
