Loading in BF4 is taking a long time after the new build.
Loading in BF4 is taking a long time after the new build.
You're experiencing slow FPS4 loads despite having a modern setup. The issue might stem from your current drive type and configuration. An SSD would likely resolve the bottleneck, especially if your CPU is handling the load better without it. Check if your existing HDD is causing delays—switching to an SSD could significantly improve performance. Also, ensure your RAM is properly recognized and configured for optimal speed.
It seems the slow loading is probably due to the SSD not being properly utilized. I experienced the same problem with my BF4 on a RAID setup, taking about two minutes to load a map. After moving it to an SSD, the time dropped to around forty-five seconds maximum.
It seems the device likely needs more time to load because it lacks an SSD. Your current hard drive is decent but still slower compared to modern options. I’ve used a WD Black for most of my games; it’s quicker than a WD Blue or Green, even though it’s not as fast as an SSD.
I think I'll need to invest more in my computer now. My previous model was so slow, I'm aiming for a much faster machine. Running Chrome on an SSD should also help things speed up, just like it does with video loads. The boot time is already quick, so I'd probably keep the HDD unless performance matters more. The gameplay feels excellent with this new setup—League of Legends runs at 60 FPS, Battlefield 4 stays above 100 FPS most of the time, and many sections hit 130 FPS or higher.
Booting isn't quick on a traditional hard drive. But since you haven't tried an SSD before, switching to one will make a big difference. Installing the operating system on an SSD can cut boot times noticeably. Chrome might load slightly faster with fewer tabs open, but video playback remains unaffected by the storage type. No real change in quality between hard drive and SSD usage. Let me know if this helped!
