Slow loading times

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

A mate of mine was playing Q3 and loving it, mainly because UT took 7 minutes to load and it played really choppy. I eventually persuaded him to reformat his hard drive and freshly install Win98 and, of course, UT.

Voila, it now loads quickly and plays very smoothly. Half an hour later and he's seen the error of his ways and is now a total UT convert.

I noticed that the slow loading times are a common problem amongst UT gamers, so thought this story would encourage others to take the plunge and reformat. Good luck if you do.

MerryJawa, that's normal (about 30sec. or less), 7 min. /~unreal/ubb/html/redface.gif there was probably something wrong with the system...

Funny how we consider 30-60secs "normal." Heck even Win98 loading times are much more and everyone complains about that.

Sure miss those Half-Life days of 5-10 sec loading. Sure made using PingTool a lot easier. (and btw, I don't use pingtool anymore since it does take so long)
