Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / January 2005long load times hl2
Have p4 3.2, 1 gig of ram and Radeon 9800 Pro. Suffering from very long in game load times, talking 30 seconds. Once scene loads the game runs smooth and fast, no other apps running ,no problems with any other current games. Doom 3, Far Cry and the like. Any help will be appreciated. Alan This is not Doom that installed from 4 floppies... It's loading HUGH files... My rig is similar P4 3.0 1 gig of DDR3200 and A 9800 XT... Takes about the same amount of time... >Have p4 3.2, 1 gig of ram and Radeon 9800 Pro. Suffering from very long in >game load times, talking 30 seconds.

I didn't compose this but I love it!!! We are talking within the game, right? Open a door to a new area wait 25 sec? > Have p4 3.2, 1 gig of ram and Radeon 9800 Pro.

About 30 secs sounds right on my AMD64 3400, 9800XT, 1gb RAM. Just enough time to grab a drink and flex my fingers. Quite useful actually. >> We are talking within the game, right?

Quite useful actually. You seem to have the same setup as me....but I don't think it takes 30 sec....maybe 15-20... Could be the SATA or something...but I guess you have it too if your mobo supports it.... it is the game.....it preloads everything so ingame play is fast and smoothe....i have dual 3.2's and 3gig ram and it is the only game that appears to be slow loading. > We are talking within the game, right?

Its a downside to the game, but there are no cut scenes in half life Its normal. Big levels take time to load. Limiting factor of loading is your hard drive speed, if you want it faster, you'll need a RAID array. Not that it matters, since 30 seconds isn't exactly a huge loading time.
