Intel Q6600Gigabyte P35 DQ6 sys brd4 Gb ddr2 ramX-Fi Fatality PlatinumVista 64bit Ultimate2 x Radeon 2900xt video cardsAll drivers and such are current and the game is patched to 1.1a and drive has been defragged, etc.When loading between different major areas of the game like going from the starting keeps courtyard to the interior and reverse and leaving the keep and going onto the first town, my system takes 5-10 minutes to load these areas up. When I'm in the initial keep, it can take upwards 1 minute to load the individual rooms up.The fighting and moving about in an area is smooth. It is just the transitioning from one area to another the kind of sucks on my machine. I've even tried changing the processor affinity from all 4 cores down to two and even 1 and that has made no difference in load times.I've even uninstalled/reinstalled the game. I installed this on the other system that is in my house, which has similar specs. It has a good C2D instead of a quad processor and an Nvidia 8800gtx instead for graphics. OS is Vista 64 bit home premium instead of ultimate also.The Witcher has normal load times on that machine. Like 15-20 seconds max. Problem is, it isn't mine so I can't use it. No other current game is having problems running on my computer. Oblivion, Bioshock, LOTRO, Hellgate London, Two Worlds, Gothic 3. NWN2 ran without any kind of a hiccup. And these are with every setting maxxed. I've had crossfire enabled/disabled. I've turned off my anti-virus. I don't overclock or use drive emulation software. I don't know what it is, but this game definitely doesn't agree with something on my computer. I’ve even tried the game with every setting on minimal. Frustrated.
