When I first installed the game in my new PC it was really fast (well, fast, 30'', an eternity compared to GW2 for example). Now it takes sometimes more than 5 minutes (even if I repair broken data before).
Anyone knows how to reduce this time? I wouldn't like to reinstall the whole game again.
Thanks in advance.
What is your CPU and memory?
I'm not on that PC now, but it's a powerful machine, I'll edit the post later with the data.
When the patcher asks you to fix the database - don't do it unless you can't run the game.
Scanning local files basically monopolizes all HDD traffic - any other process that uses the hard disk will make the scanning super long. It's like copying simultaneously separate files/folders (especially on external flash memory) - it will take longer than if you would do it together or in sequence.
At least that's how it works on my rig - installing Windows updates, unpacking stuff or even launching a web browser slows the scanning. Maybe you have some aggressive anitvirus or something running in the background?
Your machine can be poweful, but if you have a normal HDD then it won't change much (my HDD lowers overall performance rating from 7-something to 4,9).
