You may want to post up a DxDiag file, and maybe try a clean boot, or check your computer settings for things such as Anti-virus, firewall, origin, cloud saves and such because anything over 2-3 minutes is bad, as in really really bad, you have a problem somewhere. Even before I updated to my Ryzen 7 CPU and upped my RAM to 16 gigs, I was running a 4 core AMD chip, with 8 gigs ram and standard HDs, and my load times were about a minute in length. With my new system they are still about that, because it just takes a time to pull the data off standard HDs instead of having SSDs. Even back in the early times of DAI very few people had more than 1-2 minute load times, and so you having 20 minute loads on a decent machine is abnormal.
I can generally start the game from Origin, and be in game, with character loaded to last save in less than 5 minutes and I would bet closer to 3 minutes, but I haven't actually timed it.
Edited to add: Just started game from Origin and watched the clock at bottom of my second monitor...elapsed time from clicking play to full control of character in Skyhold was less than 2 minutes and was actually probably closer to 1 minute 15 seconds.
I play on an i7-4770K with 16GB RAM, a Samsung EVO850 SSD, and an nVidia GTX 1060 GPU with 6GB VRAM.
Time from clicking "Play" to having control of my ("Resumed") IQ: 58 seconds.
Hi. I have a very similar setup but I can’t even get decent frame rates and resolutions, etc. doesn’t seem to use the Gpu at all. Origins does but inquisition itself just relies on cpu and then also takes forever to load besides being slow. How did you get it to run with the gpu? Thanks in advance.
