Slow map load times on Battlefield 2

[Nixeh]

Heya guys, i am a big fan of battlefield 2 but one thing that really annoys me are the map load times... well first off u prob think i got a low end pc but my pc isnt really.

I got an opty [email protected] with 2gb of skill zx ram 2-3-2-5 with a x1900xtx and a 300gb sata 2 mobo.

Now with a system like this it takes me ages to get into a map, sometimes around 2-3mins when im getting beat into games by friends on a64's with slower ram and crapper graphics cards.

Anyone got any thoughts on why this is happening.

the hdd's that the game is running from isnt compressed in anyway or form.

Cheers, in advanced.

stops briefly at 62% but its not the optimizing part and its not for that long, its just slow overall. im being beaten into the game by mates with far crappier systems and its really annoying. and i mean im getting in about 2mins after them

I swear it wasnt this slow when i first done it, i have got 2 gb of ram running anyway.

im going to uninstall bf2, defrag and reinstall with the full patch and not the incrementles, and see if this sorts it. anyone got any other ideas?

Oh and the capturing a flag before joining happens to me and ive got 10mb connection and a faster pc... something aint right.
