Here's an idea upgrade the speed of your RAM and HDD. My load times were a little long so i bought some new memory for 40 bucks with faster mhz and they improved drastically. It's your machine not the game that your load times suck. Plus a lot of the time you don't even have to go to a load screen only when changing major zones. For example whenever you use elevators etc... no load screen. Now all I gotta do is wait for the people to come into this thread saying how they play BF3 ultra everything blah blah blah. Get rid of your low speed ram and low speed data transfer rate HDDs.

p.s. this game is awesome and I have a level 50 Jugg 4/5 on HM EV. So don't come in here telling me to get off Korriban.

my current rig:

i7 970 hexa-core CPU @ 3.7Ghz
6GB Corsair DOMINATOR GT DDR3 RAM @ 1866Mhz
2 x GTX 470 GPUs in SLi
2 x intel 80GB SSDs


... now tell me: Why is it that after last weeks update did my loading screen increase in time 3x fold?

Why do I need to tell you? My load times are fine and faster than ever I never wait more than 5-7 seconds.

The point I'm making is that your argument is invalid.

I think most of the complaint about Loading Screens is due to the fact that they're encountered too often, and for seemingly no good reason in quite a few places. The time it actually takes to load a zone seems pretty short, 90% of the time

i5 2500k OC'd to 4.5GHZ
GTX 560ti
8gb RAM.

I don't need to upgrade my computer, I need the game to not have a freaking loading screen every time I try to tab back in. I need the game to not make me go through 3 empty places JUST TO CHANGE PLANETS.
The problem most people have with the loadscreens is not their duration, but the amount of times that they actually pop up.

Example:
I'm on the republic / imperial fleet. I want to take my ship to some other planet. Nothing wrong so far right?

Here's what I have to do:
I interact with the door to the hangars (1 loading screen) which teleports me to the inside of an empty hangar that only has my ship and a couple of useless placeholder NPCs. I interact with the door on my ship (another loading screen) to get into my ship. I interact with the galaxy map and pick my planet (third loading screen). I arrive at the planet after 2 cutscenes and I have to walk out of my ship (4th) walk out of the hangar (5th) AND THEN I'M ON THE PLANET.

What a painless fluid journey.
But then again, just what IS fluid in this game?

I don't know man I'm running off a mech HDD and 1600mhz ram and mine are very fast. Sounds like a problem with YOUR machine.

You cancelled your sub 4 days ago I think it's time to move on you've made your choice.

Hey man that's the game and it isn't going to change.
Edit: You can always do what shady did and you can add to you sig cancelled sub 1/8/12 due to load times everywhere. And stay here trolling as long as possible.

The game loads, but the loading screen doesn't go away.

Like if you tab out of the game and then back in.

Nothing beats looking at the loading screen whist you can hear the game.
The siege of Coruscant was in fact brought to an end after the republic agreed to give the Empire a Shrubbery, one that looked nice and wasn't too expensive.
