why does this game take forever to load!!!

At the start of the game it was fine, now i'm half way through and it loads/lags and freezes! Yes I got the patch, and I even tweaked my settings!

Anything else I can do?

How are your GPU and CPU temps?

I would say run it at lower settings, but your rig(in your sig) should run it fine, Mine runs it fine, and my rig is worse(except for ram, i have 1.5gb) Spyware check maybe?

temp looks pretty good, what harddrive do you have? try defraging it. And like xycron said, try spyware/virus scans. Also see if you have alot of programs running in the background.

right now their both IDE drives, I believe their the only things slowing my computer, I'm looking to upgrade to SATA II soon.

It shouldn't slow the game any at al, and sata II wont help you anymor then sata I will, at least what a couple members and my new-er research is telling me.

You mean sata 2 in raid0 isn't faster than IDE...thats complete bull, i have Sata2 in raid0 and my loading times are way faster than my friends (he has IDE) at any game...
And a faster hirddisc means less slag, because say he has a lot of programs running on background that it up all his ram, than the harddisc has to load stuff during the gameplay to ram all the time.
