Huge Loading Time, even on SSD

[Murasot]

Hi, I just bought BF4, installed it on SSD and wanted to go to the test range for a quick check. The loading times are horrible, i havent played one minute yet. It takes long times to load the map, and when the map is finished, i cant do anything since the response from bf4 takes too long.

I noticed in the task manager, that it loads really slow. (see the disk usage) http://imgur.com/5pLqq6k (its loads with 1.8mb/s from the ssd, other games like dota go up to 200mb/s and finish quick)

My Pc:

I7-6700k

R9 270x

Samsung 850evo 250gb

Windows 10.

Im pretty sure my pc could handle this game with ease, but it wont start

@Murasot Sorry was afk doing yard work lol. Lets try this and do this for in game video settings when game loads....

Try a clean boot : run a Clean Boot: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
This should ensure that no programs are interfering in the background.

Below are programs known to make issues in BF4

Disable Mantle if you have it and try Direct X, Turn OFF Anti-Aliasing Deferred in video card settings in game. If you have page file turned off then turn it back on as this can make errors even with 32gigs ram.

Others have said if they uninstall MSI Afterburner issues / crashing is stopped. So if you have this installed remove program and test BF4. Also look at other programs as Asus Game First Service...ROG Game First , Razer synapse, Razer Cortex, Qualcomm Killer Service , Fraps, EVGA Precision, Geforce experience, be sure to turn off the streaming function that is enabled by default ,Raptr, RivaTuner , ASRock eXtreme Tuner, Steam, Skype, aero ,Overwolf extra program in teamspeak and xfire are known to make issues as well. And I am sure more programs not in my list yet turn one off at a time and test BF4.

- Video card settings in game BF4

In game video settings right side set to custom and set everything to low but last three turn them off ....

1-antialiasing deferred off
2-antialiasing post off
3-ambient occlusion off

on left side be sure vertical sync is off also resolution scale to under 100 like 80 or 90 this will up you FPS

If all this fails to fix it try this..

Re- install origin only not your game just origin.

1. Uninstall Origin completely from Windows Control Panel.
2. Reboot your PC. This is important to clear out any lingering registry files or directories.
3. Download the latest here: http://origin.com/download
4. Install Origin You should not be prompted to update.
5- Reboot PC then test game again.

@Murasot To make BF4 run more smooth for you do this for settings and be sure all this is up to date as this will make BF4 run nicer . NOTE....When you start BF4 watch the task bar on your PC as soon as it says loading level then click on the BF4 emblem in task bar and the game will start / be loading :] On two of my game PC's this is the way I have to open the game.

Make sure all this is up to date on your PC as well as do this for settings ....

Latest version of DirectX see this page
http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/confirmation.aspx?id=35

Reinstall Microsoft C++ For my game PC's I install both x64 and x86 as it does not hurt the PC

NOTE>>> you need to select the x64 or the x86 file depending on what architecture your computer has. To find this out, Click Start, right click on "Computer" and select "Properties". Under system type is should say "32-Bit Operating System" or "64-bit Operating System". If 32-bit operating system, download the x86 file, and if 64-bit download the x64 file.
