Tricks for faster loading times? SSD didn't do much...
Hi,
Some people recommended I upgraded to SSD for quicker loading times. It hasn't seemed to make a difference. It still takes 10-20 seconds to zone. I am running EQlite client off the ssd as C drive. My OS (win7) is on the sdd as well. Here are my specs: Phenom X3 720 @ 3.2 ghz 8gb Ram 120gb intel SSD GTX 660 Ti BOOST I'm on comcast, typical lag is 100ms. Any tips for speeding up loading? | ||

If a SSD honestly didn't speed you up, it's either not setup or correctly or there's something wrong with like your video card.

Unsure what the issue is; I use an SSD and I load fairly quickly. Almost always the first to load while porting etc.

Well, what loading time are you talking about? The time from when the loading bar shows up until you can move again, or from when the screen freezes after you cross a zone line until you can move again?
I mean with an SSD the loading bar should be much quicker. Takes like 5 secs max for me with a very old SSD. However the delay before the loading bar pops up is always extremely long (about 20 secs every time), and I think it has something to do with the server. | ||

intentionally bumping a years old thread - any new tips on this?
I have a SSD, all my game files are on that, only ini files, Log and Screenshot folder are linked in from a magnetic drive. I have a new system, yet my EQ zone times are about 20-30 seconds. Has anyone figured out what keeps us from zoning in 5-10 seconds? | ||

I load into most zones in 5-10sec depending on zone. Skyfire and TT in more like 12-15.
That's with an i7m 2.5ghz dell xps13, intelhd4000 onboard gfx shit and 512g intel SSD. Identical times to my PC which is an i5 2500, 7970 and most recently gtx680, 32gb ram and 512g intel SSD. So don't know what's wrong with your setup except maybe CPU speed? | ||
