First Game After Launching CrossFire Takes Like 5 Minutes To Load

Honestly, this is ridiculous. After a fresh launch of CrossFire, the first game you get into takes a really long time to load. This can be devastating in Ranked, because if you get disconnected for any reason, re-entering the game in time is a false hope. I try to join a Single Bot Match every time I boot up CrossFire, but that usually fails too since I get immediately disconnected after the game loads, forcing me out of CrossFire, so I have to launch it again and hope that it doesn't disconnect me.

So frustrating.

    What are the requirements of your PC? CPU, RAM, GPU.

    I recommend playing in 1024 x 768.

    CPU - Intel Core i3 550 @ 3.20 GHz
    RAM - 4GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665 MHz
    GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750

    I'm also running CrossFire on an SSD that I recently de-fragmented, so disk speed is not an issue.

    I play on 1280×720.

    Defragmenting SSD damages it bro.

    But i have that issue too, not 5min but long enough to maybe cause DC. I also got SSD, quad-core, 8GB RAM...

    When you change the resolution to a different one than 1024 x 768, CrossFire takes a long time to load. And right now, CrossFire is taking longer than usual to load the first game/match (between 30-40 secs). 5 minutes is a long time, do not exaggerate with it!

    PD: SSDs do fragment, yes, but It's not necessary to defragment (It's pointless). It won't be faster, not even a little bit. There is no measurable benefit of a defragmentation procedure on an SSD. Why would you want to defragment an SSD?
