Heck, you could even win FC4 that way with a tasty dish of Crab Rangoon! FC5 is the worst, because you have to be there, pressing the W key so your character keeps following the leader-at least with the others, if I recall correctly, you could walk away and return to the game waiting. I often avoid starting a new game of any of the Far Cry games from FC3 on because of this total disregard for the player.
Apart from the usual 'look at me mom' stuff, I'm talking about the unskippable forced in-game intro sequences. But…Ī major peeve of mine is games which can take 15-20 minutes from a fresh start until you can actually start playing. I don't like a game that's slow to load or transition any more than anyone else, but at least it's for a legit reason-poor coding aside. One click, go do something, game's ready when you return. What's actually needed? An icon with built-in 'Continue last session'. Then I Alt-Tab out to whatever I want to do, before starting a game session.
#How to fix long loading screens wow Pc#
I usually launch the game while organizing dinner, I make enough trips past my PC that I can do these steps in passing-it's ready to play after dinner. I haven't actually timed it, as there's a good chance my clock would break down due to normal wear and tear while waiting, so I don't know how many minutes it is.
You definitely need to have something to do after this, unless your life is one long sequence of emptiness. Screen to select Continue Campaign or Multiplayer. Press spacebar-this is the shortest step, so please yourself re whether to stay or go. How dumb is it to have that useless step in there?
SGW3 itself isn't too bad at this stage, except for one major stupidity: when you return, you get a screen with one and only one choice on it-press spacebar to 'Start'. Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 for sure, that game is highly painful to launch.Ĭlick icon, wander off while Steam does its thing.
