Battlefield 4 very long loading times.

[LaGg3r34]

Hi.
I installed battlefield 4 and it literally takes about 10 minutes to load a map.
it's on my SSD.. which in userbenchmark is 52.9%.
So i have no idea what could be causing this.
If anyone has any tips , let me know.

is this on multiplayer? if so it often happens when a game has finished, it takes a couple of mins sometimes ( and regularly so!) for the game to kick in. Don't think it's SSD related, unless you experience the same with other software. if its game isolated, and multiplayer, thats what it is.

Is the drive running is AHCI mode? If in IDE mode, performance is rubbish!

in single player it's like 20 seconds . in multiplayer even if im in the server and map changes , it takes like 10 mins.

as i suspected. it's a known issue. Nothing to really make it faster. its more to do with your ISP than your SSD. Its the same for most. Load times between games while playing online take AGES to load. Its a royal pain, that's for sure. I've a decent enough connection with 60mb down/20mb up and it still sucks. Defo nothing to do with my HD/SSD though.

Internet speed has nothing todo with game loading time! Is the SSD in AHCI mode, check using a tool like AS SSD Benchmark, once loaded under ssd name should say storahci - OK

Intel system says "iaStorA - OK , so drive in correct mode

i'm not talking about game loading time, rather, the interval between games on multiplayer (in this case, BF4). And of course the server he's playing on has to send/receive data to/from the pc, so of course that can have an effect. Google it, it's out there. Happens all the time, and the game is renowned for it! From what the OP has said, it's isolated and game specific. Not hardware related. Although, if your guidance helps, more the better.

Lol. Fixed it . Origin for some reason installed it onto the HDD and the ssd 0.o i was running it from the hdd apparently. My bad.

haha happy days. if you still experience slowdowns whilst games are changing over. you know what it is. Its normal anyway.

Given it turned out to be something different than my solution, I'd suggest re-selecting Petarded's answer, as he was on the right track.
