I am running OOTPX and it loads every aspect of the game very slowly. From clicking on the game to launch it takes about 3 - 4 minutes to get to the menu screen.

From that once I load one of my leagues it takes about 6 - 10 minutes for the league to load. Then on top of that if I want to update the online league via FTP it takes about a minute to download, and then another 5 - 8 minutes to load the league with updated files.

Here are my PC specs:

Windows XP Pro
Intel Celeron CPU 3.06 GHz
2 GB DDR2 RAM
155GB of Free Space on drive C:
I run AVG Anti-Virus. (I have tried the game both with it on and off, no difference.)

Besides all of that my computer is pretty clean and doesn't have too much going on. I know my computer isn't extremely new but it isn't horrible, average I would say and should load the game fairly quickly.

It's the only program I have that takes a long time to load. Sims 3, WoW, AoE, Photoshop, and more all load 10x faster than this game. I was wondering if any techs/devs have any suggestions on making this game move a lot faster than it does. I would be grateful.

Thanks.
