This game takes an eternity to load maps.
Hey there.

I've asked this question already like a month ago but I gotta ask it again since I've discovered some odd stuff with the game.

So, when playing on any matchmaking server (generally Brazilian MM servers, since those are the closest to me), the game takes around 2 to 3 minutes to load a map, it usually gets stuck reaching 0 FPS and then goes back up after a while. I have a GTX 1050, a Pentium G4400 and a WD Blue 1TB. I've defragged my disk already and the MM servers still take an eternity to load the maps, today I got banned when my game got stuck loading a damn map for a competitive (which never happened before).

Odd enough, when I play on any community server, even those with tons of models and big fancy maps, it takes no more than 10 seconds to load a map, but by some reason MM servers always take an eternity to load on my PC, which doesn't makes any sense.

I play on low settings BTW, coz FPS. And please, don't come with replies as "Buy an SSD" or "Get a better CPU", money doesn't grows on trees.

How much ping do you get ingame? It might just be your internet taking long to connect to the server

I have a bad internet connection, I usually get around 50 to 60 ms, taking in mind that I'm from Argentina and I'm connecting to Brazilian servers (which should be like 600 Km away, maybe?). The game gets stuck while connecting to the server, but also while loading the map. Also, as I said, I still don't get why I can connect to community servers without any problem.

That doesn't explains anything, people is playing this on a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Core 2 Quad and older HDDs and still loading the game faster than me.

i guessed you would have 4gb ram.

i used to have long waiting times as well when i had 4gb ram, was a pain..

i upgraded my gpu to 1060 3gb and CPU g4560 3.5. ( cheap one like yours) and got myself 8gb ram.

now i am regularly first on servers. (without a ssd as well)




your 1050 + cpu can run CSGO easily, its the ram thats causing your problem.

csgo actually uses more than 4gb ram.. when i got the 8gb ram the ram usage when i was playing csgo went up to 5-6gb ram.

Well, I guess that was the problem, didn't know that Source games could take too much RAM, I will get that extra 4GB stick ASAP, thanks for the help.

But I still don't get why community servers take nothing to load, that's probably a mystery :/

Btw, just talked to a friend who has a basic home PC, with an 2012 A4 APU, 4 GB DDR3 and integrated graphics, CSGO takes 20 seconds to load for him.

I'm confused.

ye that is weird.

im no diagnostic pro but IMO upgrading the 4gb ram to 8gb would be the solution :)
the operating system uses up a few gb on itself, so having a game on top of that with just 4gb ram.. will be slow.



maybe ask your friends if you can borrow some ram from them so you can try it out to see if it fixes it, so if it doesnt fix it then you ahvent lost cash.



good luck!

I would, if I had any friends.

None of my friends have actual gaming rigs, or even DDR4 ram haha, most of them have old Pentiums/Celerons on desktop PCs, a friend has DDR3 RAM but he will never let me borrow it to test, not much gaming PCs in this small city haha. Anyways, thanks for the help :)

No I concur with your solution. 4GB RAM would require the use of pagefile memory access from the HDD....Another matching 4GB module improve loading speeds.

To load maps rather fast, lower your fps in the menu through the auto exec to a lower number, say capped at 60 and then the game would not load the splash screen and would lead to the maps loading faster.
