Long match load times

I run the game on mostly all high settings. If I turn image quality down, it loads quicker, but looks unbearable so I put up with lengthier load times. The game itself runs superbly, though when it initially loads there's lag at the beginning where everything runs at high speed for about 30 seconds (which is annoying, because it seems to set me back some compared to my opponent).

My hope is that an upgrade next week will take care of the annoying load times. Does anyone have this issue, and if so, does it seem related to the processor?

Currently I run: 4GB RAM, Radeon 7790, and a Phenom II x2. Yes, only two cores. I am upgrading to 8GB RAM and an FX-6300.

I tend to find the first game of a session (i.e. once the game has been launched) loads quite slowly, but after that it's fine and it's RNG as to whether I load faster or slower than anyone else.

I turned down my graphics when WFA launched because I was having long load times and frequent lock ups. The game is much smoother for me now, and has helped my gameplay.

It still freezes/locks up sometimes, but I think many people are experiencing this. I lost 2 LMG Grens to a shock grenade last night because I locked up when they were advancing. I was ready to move, had them selected, and then the game froze and I got to stare at the grenade in mid air for a good 15 seconds, knowing full well my squads were dead. Bummer :(

lowering the textures makes the game load much faster
Also if you have an SSD it helps a lot

When my computer was about matching yours in it's specs, I was running the game at lowest possible quality to have a decent frame rate and loading times. Even then lockups during the game sometimes happened.

CoH2 is just a resource hog, no way to overcome it other than to have a stronger machine I suppose.

Hm, it seems the game is just poorly optimized, more than it being a simple specs issue. That's a shame. I have great frame-rates in game, it's just this loading (I'm consistently last, and one time someone asked me if I'm playing on an iPad), and initial lag that bugs me.

I guess we'll see in a week if there's any difference.

Well, I upgraded to an AMD FX-6300, and the game still loads slowly. Frame rates in game are still great. It's a shame, as I see other players loading in < 30 seconds.

You could do a defrag of your hdd or go crazy like I did and buy a ssd (expensive but IT'S WORTH IT!)

I analyzed my HDD, and it shows it doesn't need any type of defragging (1%).

The game doesn't take long to boot up or anything, it's only when loading multiplayer matches, then I have to wait 40 seconds or so until everything speeds up for 10 seconds. In game FPS is silky smooth.

I play FPSs like BF4 online with no issues, I play other far more graphically intensive games like Watch_Dogs with no problems. It's just CoH2, which leads me to believe the game is just unoptimized and sluggish. It's unfortunate. I feel as if it's gotten worse since the latest hand full of patches.

KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.

OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....

aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?

Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?

Lady Xenarra: WTB Whizzbang for DAK instead of Stuka, 5 fuel cheape, 60MP more expensive and next to impossible to dive. :rofl:

Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.
04 Mar 2025, 02:58 AM
Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.
04 Mar 2025, 02:55 AM
Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.

aerafield: @OKSpitfire tbh I find it quite challenging to get the Pershing in time, having to suffer through the CoH3 tickrate and this endless bullshit meta of massive blobs going back and forth to the forward heal truck

OKSpitfire: Well... going to be seeing the Pershing a lot for a little while, that thing is a monster.
