The game runs fine, the menu works fine, hasn't crashed or anything like that, but it takes at least 5 minutes to load each area, no joke. I am not overexaggerating at all. It's really weird. Also, when I try to install the 1.1 patch it says old file not found. At the end of the installation it says it was succesfully installed, but when I boot up the game it still says version 1.0. The game takes about 2 seconds to load a quicksave, but everything else is still ridiculous. I need help fast, please. It's really pissing me off. Love the game otherwise, oh wait it finally loaded, after 7 minutes. Thanks for any help.

I'd try a reinstall on a defragged HD. It does take a while to load areas but 7 min seems a bit extreme.

mine takes really long to load as well. i have it installed onto my My Book though (external HDD), so maybe its just slow because external HDDs are slower at loading stuff?
