Is there some way to fix the loading times??
Scenario: I enter into battle, and get a lengthy loading time. The battle goes appallingly and I decide to nope out and try over. Since I can't reload during battle (for some reason!) I need to simply give up the fight and wait for another lengthy loading time. Then I go into my saves to load a game, and get another lengthy loading time. Then I engage the battle again and get a lengthy loading time.

That FOUR loading times that feel like they belong back in the cassette era.

Is there nothing to be done about this? Will lowering the graphics quality make a difference?

SSD and/or RAM (in case you're at 8GB, read someone who cut their loadings a lot by simply inserting more RAM).

SSD? Sorry, I'm a complete dunce with computers.

Solid State Drive, a faster type of storage drive.

A SSD will shave minutes off those load times.

It still takes forever even with an solid state drive its an absolute massive game so ya kinda expect long waits. It is constant arms race, we make faster comps we make more demanding games for them.

I just upgraded my computer to something a lot more powerful and that did. Not trying to be an a hole but when i started this game the loading times where horrid, I would walk away from my computer and make a coffee when starting a game because it took SOO long. I was floored when my game loaded in like 20 seconds lol.

If hes talking loading into battles, SSD is a direct fix if he doesnt have one, or ram has someone mentioned.

I keep TWW2 on my little SSD and all of my other (even more modern) games on my HDD just for the load time it uses

You'll want to get a Solid State Drive (SSD) for your computer. It's a much faster version of a regular hard drive and will speed up your load times enormously. They aren't that expensive off Amazon and worth their weight in gold for how much cost/performance they give your computer.

Ya know.... who the heck doesnt have a ssd anyway kinda like telling the guy to trade in his Personal system 2 port for a usb.

Instant for a game this size isnt a realistic expectation. An SSD and adequate RAM will cut your load time to a reasonable level

This is actually a loading time fix.

Would be nice to have a list of available games with out loading game. With this option a player would load game when list looked favorable.
