I love this game, but unless someone can help me with my game loading troubles, I may have to say farewell to Istaria.
I have a 6 year old XP machine. So this is not a Vista issue. The game takes at least 10 minutes to start, and forget about porting between towns, that takes just as long and sometimes longer. I have 1 GB of RAM and a 256 MB Nvidia 6800 GS video card. My 80 GB hard drive is only 50% full. I tried setting the preference /setpref UseLoadingScreen false. That worked for a while, but then graphic loading became a problem with only partial world loading and a lot of end of world type of issues.
One more thing, both my firewall and antivirus are turned off when this is happening.
I welcome any and all suggestions as I really don't want to pack my trunks and leave Istaria.
Thanks
