Dear PR members,

I am a pretty dedicated player and I LOVE doing transport and CAS, but those squads are always taken up when I enter the game (given my 1,5-2 minutes loading time).

Is there any way to let me enter the game more quickly so I can make/join those squads?

My specs:

64-bit Windows 10
i5-3210M 2.5-3.2 GHz
AMD Radeon HD 7610M
8 GB RAM
240 GB Sandisk SSD

My game settings:
Terrain quality - High
Effects Quality - Low (due to lag of smoke)
Geometry Quality - High
Texture Quality - High
Lighting Quality - Low
Dynamic Shadows - Low
Dynamic Light - Low
Texture Filtering - High

Thanks!!

Since I assume the SSD is your main and only storage unit, it should load pretty fast.

One thing to remember is that PR does NOT load while you are alt-tabbed. So make sure to not minimize the PR window if you want to make sure you make the asset squads early enough.

I don't think there are a lot of options for you to be honest, considering you're playing on a laptop. You've got an SSD, so I'm assuming the CPU is the issue. You'd want one with better single-core performance.

SSD almost change anything on PR. It is efficient for Windows start up, transfer files...

I upgraded from a 5400rpm 1Tb to a Samsung 840Evo SDD, and on PR it only speed up the textures loading (after the 63%). All the geometry and other stuff are deal with the processor and no visible changes due to ssd.

The things that is slowing down your loading is clearly your processor, that is a portable low voltage unit (i5m).
An other things to look at can be anti-virus. It maybe interesting do exclude PR files, folders from real time analysis.

I was going to say SSD but you seem to have one. Is it an M.2? I built a new PC and after loading in I was around the 2 minute mark now I am around the 4 minute mark with an SSD.

Also all servers have a limit for when you can create squads. Its either 2:00 or 1:30 from game start.
