ME 2.0 Reports and Suggestions

[Crossroads]

Is it just on my poor old laptop or do others also observe much longer loading times to launch the game or load a scenario? All went smooth in the "old" version but now it is rather a pain to wait for a scenario to be loaded.

There's two changes that can attribute to longer load times I can think of. 

First, the game engine itself is compile to include the C++ distributables, instead of loading them dynamically which, in the previous versions including JTCS 2.0 as well seemed to cause side by side errors for some of the players. 

Secondly, the scenarios now load with the Event Engine engine (Lua), which might cause a small delay as well. 

Let us keep an eye on this. What are your laptop specs? My very old laptop with an old Atom processor is showing these symptoms as well, it is very low spec though...
