How to load the game faster?

[76561199241811438]

IT can sometimes take 25 minutes to get from launching the game to actually getting into the game. Anyone have any hints or help load it faster?

It will totally depend on your CPU, Memory, Drive and other system factors. The cleaner your system (fewer background apps running), the faster the components, the faster the game will load. :)

Have the same issue.it takes ages to start(3-5 minutes) + all the starting screens + starting up the game using character......it is like 7-10 minutes just to start playing......how in the world you cannot turn off or skip all the screens you have seen 20+ times already........

The scenes only take 10 to 15 seconds to go through. The time before the scenes where it is loading the game is what takes so long. No way to skip that.

i have measured with my stopwatch and it takes 1 minute and 6 sec for AntiCheat mechanism to show logo of Lost Ark and after that 1 minute and 40 seconds to see first developer screens......and then it crashed :D

i have Samsung 860Evo mSATA , GTX 850m , i7-4700HQ and 16GB RAM. i do not think it is the best configuration to play this game but i have from 40 to 60fps when it starts. but the loading times are really bad. First time have a game which takes so long to start up.

That's the same startup time most folks have. Does it always crash right away? Or sometimes in game as well? What sort of 'crash'? Any error message, or just goes away?

Takes a few seconds on my PC, you must have a dinosaur PC..

25 min? are you in europe or something? Or do you not have an ssd. I just timed and for me to get in loaded with my character from clicking play in steam is 46 seconds.

Just the game closes down and that is it. No warning or error massage. Sometimes it happens when i have to choose server as well.

What Operating System are you running?

My computer specs are way above what is recommended but, since it's using an outdated engine I had to do some serious tweaks.

First I enabled Nvidia Image Scaling. I put the sharpness to around 40%
Second I put my power plan to Ultimate
Third I put my Latency mode to Ultra
Fourth I put my game to full screen and lowered the resolution.
Fifth I only display foe abilities.
Sixth I disabled Area chat.
Seventh I put the game on a SSD which has increased the load time from 15 minutes to 3 minutes.
