Fast load won't work for the unlucky people with sucky comps like me. Sad

However, i wonder why in renalert, maps did load in a second.......

The loading times in renegade was a bug and Silent Kane fixed it. I'm going with that.

RenAlert maps seem to have low polygons compared to normal WW maps, but that assumption is based just on sight, so I'm not for sure.

Wow... I just got banned for being a fucking idiot.

Just use disk defragmenter to clean up the disk, that will speed up the data loading time.

Or use RAID disks, up to twice th eloading time.

Your wrong, RAID's slowing down Renegade for some reason. Crying or Very Sad

I have a RAID array and it takes renegade almost twice as long to load as it did before. damn pisses me off. Every other game works great. Sad
RenAlert works fine though o_O

The reason Renegade takes so long to load is that the program, for whatever reason, loads the same objects more than once. RenAlert does not do this.

There was a topic on this made a while ago when RenAlert first came out, but I can't seem to find it.

Before I had a P3 500 with int Rage pro, 15gb 5400 UMDA 100 drvie and it take 1min to load.
Now I have Athlon64 3200, Rad 92, 80gb 7200 SATA and loading only takes 1 sec or less.
So you need faster CPU and GPU to speed up loading.
And I regret the error, RAID appears to take longer for Renegade

150mb is a lot for loading, 7200 UDMA 133 drives only loads about 30mb per sec, so that's at least another 5 sec of loading.

One weird thing I discovered was that SDRAM seems to load Renegade much faster than DDR memory.

Doesn't sound very convincing, but it has happened to both me and Prometheus. On my old computer (512mb SDRAM) it's only 650mhz but it always loaded Renegade INSTANTLY, like, seriously. My current computer (512mb DDR), which is 2.1ghz, loads Renegade in about four seconds.

Prometheus has 512mb SDRAM (I think he has 512mb) and Renegade loads INSTANTLY for him. It's VERY weird.

Yes. My point is that for some reason SDRAM loads Renegade faster. I'm not sure why.

That's an anomaly. I used to have a 768 MB of SDRAM in my computer, when I upgraded to 512 MB of DDR, loading times improved.

Well, seeing that it's happened to both me and Prometheus adds evidence to my theory.
