Mega Long Load Times

[Unperdants]

Hi,

I'm enjoying the game so far - it seems to lack the sense of fun from what I remember of the Amiga version and the voice acting is terrible but I'm glad I bought it as part of an indie bundle.

Anyhoo...

The load times are ridiculous! I mean, 2 minutes or more for a level. This is slower than the Amiga version from floppy disc.

Does anyone know a work around or fix for this?

I'm running Win7 64bit with 6gb ram, Nvidia GTX260 etc. etc. although I somehow doubt that's the problem....

I wonder if DEP is causing the issue?

I totally agree. I bought this from the bundle for the sole reason that I enjoyed CF on the megadrive. So far I've spent more time waiting than playing (though admittedly, part of that reason is that I am as dreadful as I've always been), and when I can boot into Skyrim, Crysis, whatever, in no time at all, loading a cheap looking version of a 20-year-old game should not take five minutes. You could literally throw the whole thing into ram, 1 byte at a time, and it would still be faster than these load screens.

I have found a fix:

Activate VSync in game, then open the engine.ini in the game folder and set

r_vertical_sync
r_multisampling

from 0 to 1.

My loadtimes are just seconds now.

If this works for you please write a comment.

Ich habe einen Fix gefunden: Im Spiel selbst VSync aktivieren, dann öffnet die Datei engine.ini im Spiel-Ordner und editiert folgende Zeilen:

r_vertical_sync
r_multisampling

jeweils von 0 auf 1 stellen.

Dadurch sind meine Ladezeiten extrem verkürzt worden. 2, 3 Sekunden ...

Ich hoffe ich konnte helfen. Falls es hilft hinterlasst bitte eien Kommentar.

Didn't work for me.

Have you enabled VSync in global graphics card settings. VSync is the solution. You must have 60 fps

I've noticed this since upgrading my system, when I played it on my old 32bit one the load times were a little longer than ideal but seemed sort of OK, now I'm using a 64bit windows though it takes ages. All rather strange

Yay! Thank you! This works for me - I had to wait minimum 3 minutes to load any mission, but usually more than 5. Now it takes 5-7 seconds
So now game got second chance

Great. Thanks for the feedback!

[Manzana]

Thanks for the tip! Works! :)

[XxBarakaxX]

what this works ? lol. Ok i try it :)
I already beat the game with this painfully long loading times. But i want to play it again

[Kildrago]

December 2018 - Yeah this works. Make sure you switch on vsync otherwise editing the ini file doesn't change the load times. FYI, the vsync setting gets saved in a CannonFodder3 subfolder under Documents in a random names xml file, so technically you could edit that file so its true, and the engine.ini without being in game.
