I don't think I have a truly outdated system yet, but it takes AION forever to load up originally from the NC Soft portal.
I have a dual core 2.0ghz 2GB RAM Windows XP
Anyone else?
Yeah, I noticed that too. Pretty sure it's preloading a bunch of resources to reduce ingame lag and delays. But have you noticed how fast you load from character selection to ingame? It's literally like 4s for me.
I noticed that long load at start when NCSoft logo stays frozen for like 10 seconds or so. It is not the end of the world but starting at a NCSoft logo in a black background is ...THRILLING ...
Hope they can reduce that waiting time in the future updates.
Because the log in screen is in 3d it is loading the game engine from the get go. That is why it takes so long. IMO
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
I did notice the game loading, but I notice all games load. After playing Warhammer 40k Soulstorm, Call of duty world at war, but when I load Aion I see its different proccess loading with its little Aion flash screen then it loads its 3D engine. I understand if some people are not used to this, but I am especially because at all times while playing single player games I have all my instant messengers open along with my file sharing program using my entire bandwith.
While playing mmos I have them in windowed mode while watching a blu-ray on the bottom right side of my screen, and my mozilla browser open, but so far I havne't seen it freeze while loading.
Same here, but I dont' think it is really the problem with your computer. Mine also takes a bit to load from the NCsoft launcher into the game. However, after past that point everything in game loads very fast, so I suppose it is not really a problem. Max time from loading from launcher into the game is about 1 minute max for me usually about 45 seconds or so.
I think this is the problem with the client or the launcher and not an actualy loading time problem. At least it only happens when you first started the client and that is it.
When you start Aion i think it preloads alot, the login screen takes rather long to load but after the character selection, ingame loading times are very short.

My comp is a brand spanking new high end gaming rig. I run the game on max settings and it still takes forver to load up.

I noticed this too - and the first time I started it I thought maybe the game had crashed.
Performance is excellent once the game has started.
Maybe they'll add a 'loading' screen later.

sometimes Anti-viruses like to scan programs once you run them. That can slow up game start ups.
