Loading screens cutting into the start of a match?

(Press E) #1

I’ve had this issue since the MOFO update and figured I’d ask if anyone else did.

Most times when a match starts, the loading screen takes a lot longer than it should and ends up starting the match before I’ve even loaded the map. When the map finally does load, I’m forced to watch the stupid intro as everyone else rushes in to start the objective.
It’s not a huge loss, but in maps like Chapel it can mean the difference between repairing the EV in the first minute and wasting half the match on it once the defending team is dug in.
It doesn’t seem isolated to one map either, sometimes I’m able to load it in my usual time, and others it takes ages to load.

I haven’t seen anyone mention this and was curious if I’m somehow the only one.

It’s not just mofo, when I just had a core a core i3 (no gpu) around august the same thing happened every game. The intro vid needs to be skipable.

This happens to me whenever I alt-tab during loading, and sometimes when I join a game within ~15 seconds after it’s started. It’s think it’s happened before MOFO, but I’m not entirely sure. I only lose a few seconds, though.

On the note of skipping the intro vid, that won’t happen because the game takes that time to load the map and merc models.

We need to make there be an option to disable the cinematic. Altho my new PC will probably help… once I actually get it working…
