i am experiencing veeeeeeery long map load times. first i got problem #2 and the next time i try to play the load took ages. i wasn't patient enough to wait for the load, so i deleted FH2 stuff and reinstalled 2.2 and patched to 2.25 with no change. tonight i re-installed bf2, patched it loaded mashtuur 16p and quitted. then i installed FH2 2.2, and started crete 16p. it took 25 MINUTES to load the map. after it loaded i found out that at least problem #2 was gone.
after patching to 2.25 it took only 22 minutes to get the map loaded and then kicked by PB due to service abnormality. i could tell that myself, no need for pb to tell me there's some abnormality in here....
it took about 10 mins to load objects, the next stop was animation systems and finally textures at 62% (as usual). after textures got loaded, the load proceeded just like normal.
i'll check the HDD, but i don't think it's that, because everything else works like it used to.
edit: why is that patcher and objexcts_static.zip still running???
