Bear in mind bioware has confirmed this, and one of the biggest places where this happened was taris, going as far as to crash the game for multiple people (which I believe is the only reason why they tried to fix it). As I've stated before, my main problem, as I've not been plagued by long load TIMES is the amount of load screens and empty, useless areas. If Bioware has confirmed it then it is true. I never denied the existence of memory leaks. I know guild mates who had massive issues on Taris. I was lucky enough not to encounter them. Well that is your problem yes but not what this thread is about. I also hate how you have to go through an "orbital station" before going to a planet. But, I was addressing the load times.

So if you have the money/time/expertise required to upgrade your machine, no problem but I understand why the more casual gamer or less rich gamer could be quite Pee'd off with this. If he is running on a dual core with 2-4GB of memory and an OK processor he is going to have problems. That's a fact. I know this because I just went from an OK dual-core to a nice quad-core and also upgraded my memory and motherboard. The minimum requirements are the bare bones minumum to play the game (assuming most of the graphic settings are all the way down or close). If he wants to run the game well with good graphics he needs to be far beyond that minumum, bar bones mark.

I havea a fracking SSD drive for this game and the load times are still horrible. I can not imagine how long they are for people with regular HDDs.

I've also noticed when I close the game out it hangs for up to a minute. That has to be the result of a memory leak?

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? just set the game to fullscreen windowed mode it is the samething as fullscreen without the splash when you tab back in.

Set aside. Did you check your ram for errors? Does you MB allow that kind of bandwidth? What's your CPU throttling? Mb having issues with ssd? Just cause you got a decent rig by specs it does not mean its good. Some people really need to learn how to handle stuff they have.

You like where when playing a game you want skip straight to the end of it, and skip all the useless crap in between right? a example get up off the sofa, and magically be outside your house and hand in mailbox, to get your mail, and then maybe be magically popped back on your sofa, or maybe you like skip that steps to and just poof you got mail delievered stright in your brain as someone sends it. People want to much instant crap, why do I got go through 3 rooms to get to fridge, why not knock down all the other walls, and get rope and drag fridge right next to me
