in single and multiplayer it takes about 10min to load. i have had the game since it was released and the load time would be 5 seconds about, and now it takes 10min(i timed it). i restarted my computer many times, and i reinstalled the game. i have 2 gigs of ram, 6800gs pci-e, and pent 4 3.0. i went to see if i could run bf2 as a test and it loaded up as normal. any ideas on what to do.

I've got the same problem. When I attempt to load the game in the multiplayer mode, it takes forever to load. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game. I’ve tried to run it with my firewall off and I have two different types of spyware programs that I use. I even went so far as to restore my computer. The same problem exists with loading. I was hoping somebody would know what to do.

Try quiting every program before you run the game, that way your ram and cpu open up and it might help.

Oh yeah by the way by programs I mean use the task manager and end every task except for the ones that say system task.

By the way Welcome to Geeks To Go!

I finally figured this out. I had the same problem with starting cod2 in multiplayer mode. I did everything short of throwing out the computer. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

1) Made sure I had the correct settings in the game itself
2) Made sure nothing else was running in the background
3) Updated the video card driver
4) Made sure I had the latest drivers for Directx
5) Shut off my firewall when playing the game
6) Uninstalled and reinstalled the game
7) Purchased and installed a different video card
8) Purchased and installed a different router
9) Restored my computer
10) Purchased and installed Registry Mechanic
11) Called my ISP and asked them if they were updating their service. And I thought maybe the game was looking for the DNS address (the cable internet company doesn’t use a locked in DNS address)
12) Pulled my hair out
13) After running the Registry Mechanic, I removed the game in the Add/Remove Programs. Went into the Registry Editor. Opened up the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder. Then opened the Software folder. Then deleted the Activision folder. After all of this I rebooted the computer and reinstalled the game with installing the 3 patches. And it works now.

I most likely didn't need the new video card. But it sure is nice compared to my old one.

Hopefully, this will help you.
