Just to contribute to the cause, I am having the same problem and I have tried everything, I just gave up.
AthlonXP 2400+
1024MB PC333 2400 DDR RAM
My hard drive has plenty of free space, and it is defragged nightly. I have the fast load maps, and the no CD crack. When loading, the bar moves very quickly then freezes on about 1/4 complete for around 10 seconds, then it goes to 7/8 done and freezes there for another 5 seconds. The total load time is about 20 seconds.
Recently, I gave RenAlert another try and immediately one of the things I noticed is that the maps load incredibly fast. Probably about 5 seconds or so total, which is 1/4 the time Renegade takes.
It was a long time ago that I was trying to solve this, but if I remember correctly by disconnecting my second CD-ROM drive, it cut the load times in half. But I assume the no-CD crack should fix this, correct me if I am wrong.
I would be very curious to know, however, if there is a technique used to make the RenAlert maps load so quickly, and if so can it be applied to normal Renegade maps?
