    Is everybody having extra slow game loads with there 4870s?

    I have not yet timed the loads but it seems to take 3-5mins every round.
    maybe less but this is just what it feels like.

    I have read on various forums it is an issue with ATi Drivers & this game.
    I am running 10.3 Beta drivers still.
    Has anybody had any succes with faster loads with the new offical 10.3 Drivers? or perhaps with older drivers?

    I plan to. But the problem is not the drive.
    apparently it is a driver issue with ATi Cards.
    I have a SSD on my Desktop with an ATI 4870X2 Card & the problem persists there aswell.

    just seeing if other R2 owners are experienceing the same problem. or possibly found a remedy.
    are you experiencing this issue?

    Won't help. It's still an issue with ATi cards which hasn't been fixed yet.
