Battlefield 3/4 insanely long loading times
A few months ago both BF3 and BF4 had normal 2-3 minute loading screens, but for no apparent reason the loading times became insanely long. Now, constantly, the game takes anywhere from 5-30minutes t...

Lets go back to the drawing board,
See my attatchment then do the following.
To boost CPUs being used by game follow this,
> Open My Docs
> Press BF4
> Settings
> Open profsave_profile in wordpad
> Go down till you see the line gstrender.texture quality
> Under this line change the processors being used to 1 if you have a dual cpu, 3 for a quad, 5 for a 6 & 7 for and 8 core

Nothing in the attachment made a difference, tried the CPU "boost" didn't do anything, then i realized it was not saved properly, had to make it .cfg and so far all my games have been loading under 30seconds. If this works i can't award you with enough XP.
Thanks man!! It finally works :D I was waiting 5, 10, 15 minutes being tortured by my clanmates talking strategies and getting owned...I cannot express my gratitude properly. Thanks a lot. "Bro hug"
NP, I am happy, I have acomplished the infamous long loading time!

MY VIEWS ARE MY SOLE OPINION AND NOT EAsHmm..it seems to work one time, then it reverts back to the normal loading time of 5+ minutes. I have to go back and mess with the settings for it to work again, (allow BF4 to run on admin, compatability mode) which resets all my key bindings and settings, so i have to go into Geforce and re-optimize the game.
It could also be a power management issue since it's a laptop. Try and make sure everything harddrive, cpu and gpu related is set to max performance.
Everything is at 100 (max, obviously) I made it so during optimization for gaming. It seems to speed up my first loading screen by 75%, then goes back to the normal 10min+ at the next loading screen, same map or not.
Nobody has any ideas? Hmm..
Normally I would suggest moving Origin+game to another harddrive, but since your are on a laptop that's not really an option.
Well i managed to fix the issue by turning off DirectX, but now i have low fps :P The irony..Well i'm looking into that fix now, any ideas while i look?
You could try swapping you HDD for an SSD.

Try Defragmenting your HDD,
If you need to defragment your hard disk
Open Disk Defragmenter by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type Disk Defragmenter, and then, in the list of results, click Disk Defragmenter.
Under Current status, select the disk you want to defragment.
To determine if the disk needs to be defragmented or not, click Analyze disk. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Once Windows is finished analyzing the disk, you can check the percentage of fragmentation on the disk in the Last Runcolumn. If the number is above 10%, you should defragment the disk.
Click Defragment disk. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

You cannot turn off DirectX. The game can either use DirectX or Mantle, but Mantle is not an option in your case since you have a Nvidia graphics card. In other words, I have no idea what you have done since you don't write very descriptive so it's very hard to help you.
First thing i did 4months ago, no difference, i do that once a month, 0% fragmented as of now, and i went into Documents>Battlefield 4>Settings>created a text document and put in GstRenderDevice.Dx11Enable 0 and saved it as a config file. Whatever i changed worked for every game i joined, but when i turned the laptop off and back on later this 'fix' stoped working. I also tried entering that line into the PROF_save file in Settings, but no change. It seems everything that has worked is a one time deal.
This seems like it could be an error with your HDD.
There are rather a lot of 2.5" HDDs on Amazon for less then £40 which have 1TB+ which could be an idea or it could be to do with the connection from the HDD to Mobo either way I doubt this is an error with BF4 files.

MY VIEWS ARE MY SOLE OPINION AND NOT EAsI tried another 'fix' by going to C drive>Program Filesx86>Origin Games>Battlefield 4 created a cfg file over there (after removing the cfg in documents) and entered this:
RenderDevice.Dx11Enable 0RenderDevice.Dx11Dot1Enable 0RenderDevice.Dx11Dot1RuntimeEnable 0RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable 0WorldRender.TransparencyShadowmapsEnable 0WorldRender.MotionBlurEnable 0WorldRender.MotionBlurForceOn 0WorldRender.MotionBlurFixedShutterTime 0WorldRender.MotionBlurMax 0WorldRender.MotionBlurQuality 0WorldRender.MotionBlurMaxSampleCount 0WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapEnable 0WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapResolution 256WorldRender.LightTileCsPathEnable 0RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 0PostProcess.DynamicAOEnable 0PerfOverlay.DrawFps Truegametime.maxvariablefps 59.94Again, this seems to have worked, i'll go ahead and restart and see if it still works after that.It seems i have to mess with those settings a few times, then it works again.Is the issue now resolved?

MY VIEWS ARE MY SOLE OPINION AND NOT EAsWell, i found two trojans on my laptop, will they affect the loading times at all? My physical memory usage is high even when nothing consuming a lot of it is on...Perhaps it's slowing it down?
