Speeding up the loading process
Since I changed to OpenGL recently, I've been getting the sexiest graphics ever. However, when it comes to loading, I am really hateful about it. It takes forever to load a mission, and often when it's a big mission file, it will freeze. Then I need to press the power button on my computer, because I can't go to the Task Manager and stop this. So then I just use Run in Windows, and the Task manager is next to the game.  At first, it was ok, except the waiting time from one screen to another is a bit slower. But once I click commit for a single mission, it doesn't even load one section, and just turns into not responding. Is there a way to speed up the loading process? In the mean time, I'm going to try with Direct.

Is it the same mission giving you trouble or different ones?

Almost any mission. Taken the advice from the "Random Lagging" topic, I did get it to be faster. However, it's not the explosions that bugging the in game, but the beam. Tried already with retail. Same story.
