BC2. End of round loading.

marc512 · 14 May 2010 at 18:45

Does anyone else have the issue when at the end of a round, the map takes longer to load ( when you switch sides) than, when the server changes to another map.

I mean, why does the game load the map again just to switch players to another side. Why cant it just switch the players to the other team, un-destroy the buildings etc and reset score without loading the map again. But i dont think everyone has the issue im having.

Tried different ATI drivers. 10.5 beta seems to be the best for me. Instant "new" map load but slow map load at end of round.

If you take one end of a piece of string, I'll take the other. If I then start walking away from you and stretch the string, would mind telling me how long it is?

well...takes 3-4 secs to load a map, but after first round, it takes 15-20 seconds. then after 2nd round (new map) takes 3-4 seconds,

as iv said, map loading is fine, its the round changing ( when you switch to the other team)

I havnt said this before because i havnt noticed, the loading icon what spins, doesnt spin, it stays still for most of the time.

So you're saying that switching team, to pay as the opposite side on the same map takes longer for you to load than it does when its new map time?

Why don't you be polite and just type "Yes" or "No" to his question, it would take a lot less of your time and give him an answer, rather than typing a generalised pedantic reply like the above ? :rolleyes:

There's already loads of threads about slow loading times... How hard is it to post in one of those threads instead of creating a new one?

im guessing its needs to reload as its the only way to 'un-destroy' the buildings and reset everything, but dont know why they cant make it so it loads almost instantly

Swifty55 · 14 May 2010 at 22:09

I don't see why it's that big of a deal?

Why post a reply at all then? You know you are acting very much like a troll. Anyone really can post an on-topic thread about anything and its not up to you to berate them because you don't think its a worthy thread; use RTM if you are that concerned.

Incidentally no, I do not get this issue; not that I have noticed.

I notice that you must load the next round/map to see the exit game button, which I find bemusing.

yes that can be a bit of a pain for me as starting the game makes me want to carry on playing
