Okay, I've got a new problem. Whenever I'm transitioning from one area to another, it takes either an exceptionaly long time or just doesn't load the new area. This usually occurs in addon quests, and not the regular game. At first in the addon quest, transition times are normal (well, they take a longer than what might be considered normal, but for my setup that is normal.) But after a few hours play time, the trasition time takes longer and longer until finally the little roulette wheel just sits there spinning and spinning. It's damned frustrating (pardon my language).
I read the posts here about the long save loading times, and I downloaded and installed the fixes and files suggested by Roy and others here. I haven't really had any long load times for saves (not to the point where it gets frustrating) but this transistion issue is driving me nuts. I've already unstalled two quest addons before their completion because of this long transition issue, notably "Beyond Boulder Dome" and "The Rockwell Descent". (Although one addon "Boom to the Moon" played through without any problems.) To make sure it wasn't just long load times I walked away from the game for over two hours and it was still loading, so I figured it was locking up somehow.
If I didn't love this game and it's versatility I would've given it up months ago, especially with the TTW addon which has greatly increased its enjoyment. I'd love to continue playing it, but I don't see how as long as it continues to muck up the addon quests. Has anyone had any problems similar to this before? Does anyone have any suggestions for a cause or a solution? I'd greatly appreciate any help anyone can provide.
