Does anyone know why is DNF loading time so long?

Is it going to be fixed? (by patch)

Is there now a way to fix it? (without patches)

Windows 7.

If you are using full-screen mode, try setting it to windowed instead. The difference this had on my game was astounding.

I've had no problem with load times in Windows. I'm assuming the complaint is probably regarding a console...? – Shinrai Jun 17 '11 at 15:12
It was tagged with Windows-7 so i guess not. – Sharken Jun 17 '11 at 16:20

It wasn't tagged that way when I posted that comment. I'm glad the OP clarified, though! – Shinrai Jun 17 '11 at 17:14
Yes. I did not tagged it properly. I apologize for troubles. I will try it ASAP. – user712092 Jun 19 '11 at 17:08
