BF4 long loading on SSD

Hey. I have a problem with really long loading times in BF4. i have an SSD, so disk isn't a problem. When map is loading, i hear a lot of "crackling" sounds from game and loading a map takes me like 3-5 minutes, it's really annoying.

My PC specs:

Windows 10 64-bit

Geforce GTX 1050Ti 4GB

AMD FX-8120 OC @ 3.8GHz

8GB RAM 1600MHz

Kingston SSD 240GB SATA

Other games runs and loads fine. I tried running the game and origin in administrator mode, changing video options and disabling origin in-game. Nothing helps. And no, i don't have any bloatware and viruses.

  • Guys, somehow running Origin and BF4 in administrator mode worked. Game loads in 20 seconds! That's weird, cuz i tried this week ago and nothing happened. Give it a try.

  • Hi @0snr ,

    If you check the Windows Performance Manager, then you should be able to see what it is that takes so long, when the process is started up:

    - CPU load?

    - RAM load?

    - SSD read/write load? 

    - Network up/down load?

    Lets hear what you find out on these please? 

  • Hi.

    Recently i got myself NVMe drive: ,,Samsung 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe 970 EVO".

    The only problem i got with it, is that it loads Battlefield 4 maps in almost 3 minutes (same time as my old HDD, also my friends having better loading times on their HDDs).

    It always loads the map after like 2:40/2:50s (yes,ive been using stopwatch)

    Other games are working fine, tested in Battlefield Hardline, CSGO, World Of Warcraft, Rust. Very fast loading times, no problem at all (in BFH it takes around 20-30s to load 64 players server).

    Wheres the problem? I reinstalled BF4 maybe 4 times now... (always repairing thru Origin after installing) No loading difference between Battlelog or ingame server browser.

    PC:

    i5 8500 , GTX 1060, 16GB Ram, Win10 64bit.

     

    Disk usage is between 5% to 2% with 30 seconds drops to 0% when map is loading.

  • @0snr , sounds then like you all may have been suffering from not full access (edit rights!) rights to all the BF4 files/directories that you may need then in normal user mode.  And that is why the program at start up needs to renegotiate these and timeout first on all files being disputed.  

    Just obnoxious then of course that you do not get any direct error message then in the first place, which could have helped you to address the problem right away.
