iustin: Hrmm, that's interesting. I can play on high plus some extra settings so I don't think it's the computer (Radeon 6970, Phenom X4 something, 8GB RAM). I'll try moving the save game directory to local disk instead of network.
Thanks for the fast reply!
shardakar: Wait your savegames are on a network?! Thats definitely gonna slow things down a lot, let us know how it goes.
Yep, I keep my entire profile on the network, so that I have automated backups. So far I haven't had issues in any game with this setup (except old WinXp games that didn't properly support redirected folders).
And Witcher2 only has problems with saves; loads are fast.
Anyway, after moving my entire Documents directory back to local disk, the save speed is now… 2 second, or less. I guess I'll send a note to the developers about it, it's strange degradation just for having the save directory on network share.
Thanks!
