Nine minute load times is a bit too much.
I mean, the artwork is nice to look at but it's not nine minutes nice. Can we maybe chill with the load times here?

+1
I can't play this game with my friends like this. Campaign is barely tolerable and I never want to actually do battles when loading takes this long. Priorities REALLY need to shift over to making this game run smoother.

I understand that the game can load slow, and even more so with mods, but have you considered getting an SSD if you haven't already? They decrease load times drastically, by like 4 min for me when I upgraded.

Are you running the game on an HDD?

i would call the game "its more waiting then playing" sadly... This was the same with rome 2 but they fixed it there. I hope they can do something with WH 3 too...

You need an SSD. My load times are fine. But you need a decent SSD that's got at least 6mbs of read speed.

Time to invest SSD drive. That 9min load time drops to 20 sec.

HDD yeah.

HDDs are mostly obsolete now in favor of SSDs.

Several years ago I upgraded from a regular HDD to a new SSD and it reduced load times by at least half for Warhammer 2.

I highly recommend upgrading to one. You can get a decent sized quality one for about $75 give or take. I use Samsung personally.

Ah well I guess I gotta get the SSD some time maybe though I'd rather not have to.

Yeah, there's a reason new Gen consoles have SSDs.

HAHA, i don't believe you. Unless you have terrible pc on standard hdd
So you meet the requirements to play the game?
9 minute load times? Good lord, what are you doing?
Edit : read through. Definitely grab an SSD. It's a huge difference all around.

No, it's quite believable.
I'm running the games from M2 since the second, but I played multiplayer with a friend who ran it on ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ laptop.
The loading times can definitely get that bad, and that was W2, I think it fair to assume W3 would be an even greater load.
