Unfortunately, this is a very hard problem to fix.  There are many different factors involved that make it difficult to figure out why it is slow.  For example, for me loading takes around 45 seconds to a minute in linux.  For others it takes a couple of minutes and in your case takes much longer.   So it is hard to know when we have it \'right\'.  

All I can say is that we will continue to work in this area and hope that things get better as we go.

I heard there is going to be a binary format for CS. How is it going? Will it be used in PS?

personally i can deal with the long load times if it meant the game were more stable and less laggy, im sure everything will come in time

Yep same thing here. It is quite frustrating, and got me even that far that I\'m saving to buy some 512 RAM extra. Hope this wil solve some problems...

Game runs good on my PC, obviously not perfectly smooth but personally i wouldnt care if it always did that, just takes a bit of getting used to

takes about 30-35 seconds to load

if i had windows 98 would it really take minutes to load ??
