Long Load Delay

[Bogenbroom]

So I just thought I'd mention this...

I have long been one that has had the insufferably long initial load time issue. I mean teh problem where your first game load after boot can take several minutes and often results in you being disconnected by the time you enter the world. I never worried to much about it since second + loads worked perfectly well, but on a whim I brought my laptop to work and did an uninstall/fresh install.

The result has been that the problem has completely gone away.

So, I know there is a population out there with this problem, and doing a fresh install can be a highly time consuming task, but since it worked for me, I thought I'd share that data for you to make your own decision.

You get the delay again fairly quickly. However something I tried on a whim seems to make a difference. Win Vista and above can plug a flash drive into the computer to use as I forget what it's called pre-fetch cache improvement. With limited testing it's solving the first log in tests I did last night. I'm only using an old 2gb flash drive as well.
