Loading in Battlefield 4 takes a long time, often several minutes.
Hey everyone, just bought BF4 and started playing multiplayer right away. I didn’t realize it would be so slow at first—still loading when I wrote this. Is it because it’s on my HDD instead of an SSD? The reason is that I also got Titanfall, which would use up too much space together since I only have 160 GB free. What should I do to speed things up?
BF4 loads maps very slowly, often taking over five minutes. I haven’t seen such delays before, especially on a brand-new hard drive. It’s possible the issue lies in cache verification with Origin—try that first to rule out missing files. Edit: Could you tell me what CPU and HDD you’re using?
Unfortunately, it isn't your computer causing the issue. BF4 tends to load very slowly. And with a slow internet connection, the problem will only get worse.
Because the hard drive takes longer to load the map. It runs quicker on an SSD.
It's disappointing having to replace an SSD since my games won't start and take too long to load.
I updated my previous post. What processor and storage device do you have? I assume a load over 10 minutes with a dual or single-core CPU is typical for BF4 maps. If that happens, it’s likely your HDD or game files are the issue—try moving them to see if loading times improve. @AlmondNoTitties No long waits expected; check the cache files too.
