Less than 20fps while loading? Long loading times 59-173 seconds
I haven't played this game in a while I came back to it and I've noticed that when I boot the game up I get about eight FPS while it's loading and then going into the main menu frame rate jumps up to...
EDIT: I believe I have figured it out. For NVIDIA users disabling shader-cache not on global but as per application basis seems to have reduced my loading times. The framerate has also gone back upto my monitor refresh rate. So mileage may very but for anyone using a nvidia card who knows they have a fast enough machine try disabling shader cache. An let me know if you notice an improvement.
