Terrible Load Times - SSD - i7 - HD7950 - 8GB RAM

I have a pretty reasonable setup for playing the game - generally no lag issues once I'm in the game playing, but the load times are consistently atrocious. For a while I thought it was just the UI incorrectly stating how quickly all the other players loaded the game, but I've had a few people comment that my load times are awful.

Any guidance out there? AMD drivers? A Steam install issue? Never had this problem on CoH1, and this problem has persisted across SSD (went from Intel to a Samsung 850)

EDIT - I am not good with computer

your best bet is to try lowering each of the settings to minimum one at a time. (while leaving the others as they are) then you can find out which setting is causing the most load time, and then hopefully go from there.

I imagine the amount of ram your video card has and other video card factors play a significant role and its not just about hard drive speed.

If it's persisted across a fresh install (SSD change) it's probably a software conflict with an antivirus or something along those lines.

really the only other thing I can think of - I cant imagine its a settings thing for the graphics card, its not rendering anything, mostly CPU cycles.

I find that my SSD seems to make very little difference in load times. I had the game on my SSD but later put it on my normal 1 TB HDD and the load time doesn't seem to have changed a lot.

I'm unsure what that means for the bottle neck but load times are really strange sometimes.

Check your ram usage under Windows Task Manager > Performance. See if there's any free memory. CoH2 takes up about 2 gigs.

Also, if you're using Nehalem i7 (i7-9xx), you may want to overclock it a bit.

its a 2600k i7

I have over 4GB available (chrome is a hell of a memory hog)

I have used SSD for years it's probably this:

http://superuser.com/questions/162155/does-low-disk-space-affect-ssd-performance


SSD is less than half full (129 GB free of 238 formatted storage) - and low free space on SSDs generally slows down write speeds much more appreciably than read speeds

PFFFFFFFFFT - I figured it out, and if it wasnt so sad it would be funny.

after poking around my system for the past few hours, I stumbled on the fact that my CPU ratio was set to 16.... so it was maxing at 1.6 GHz

Might as well crank it to 4.4. :thumb:

While you're at it, make sure all 4 cores are active and HT is activated. Check with CPU-Z.

I have to add that GPU HD 7950 is one of the best solutions for CoH 2. I have compared performance with NVIDIA 670 and 7950 , the letter has turned more productive. No problems with amd drivers at all.

I will trin to find tests where AND GPU pefome slightly better then NVIDIA's counterparts. Something wrong with you SSD controlers , i think.
