Bought this game a while back and only recently decided to give it a try. Overall I find it to be very clunky, but the number one problem for me is constant texture loading. Objects are relatively close range show very low levels of detail. If I look in one direction and then turn back it will take ~5 seconds for the textures/objects to reload. Visibility is also poor and rather blurry.

I have this game installed on an SSD, GTX 970 4GB, Win7 64bit, 8GB RAM and 4670K at 4GHZ. Not the fastest PC but the game shouldn't be struggling to keep objects loaded. Are there any quick fixes for it?

I have an almost identical setup to you and don't have that problem at all.....are you running the latest drivers with all previous AMD/Nvidia incarnations cleaned out?

This is a problem with the Real Virtuality (Arma's) engine. Your problem is dependent on drive transfer speed, and you probably need to use something extreme like a ramdrive to solve it. One of the new 2 GB/s read M.2 NVME SSDs maybe?

My drive is SATA, but it is a 500GB MX200 so it can't be that slow. Sadly that is all my motherboard supports and I won't be buying another SSD for some time. As for RAM I only have 8GB, so I am not sure if a RAM drive will be ideal. It does seem like you have to brute force the engine and the game wasn't that great so I may just uninstall it. I will say that ArmA 2/3, while still unoptimized, both run far better than this on my PC.

I will note that I do have ArmA 2 installed on an HDD and can use my ArmA 2 units in Take On... so is the game loading some files from the HDD? I am not sure if it copied the files over or just uses the ones in the ArmA 2 install. That may explain the horrible loading issues.

I think Take On is a whole separate install; so it shouldn't need\use any Arma2 files by default.

Have you monitored your SSD xfer speeds while running the game? You can also double-check to make sure it isn't (for some reason) running from the HDD. You could also check for any firmware updates for the SSD as a last resort.

I don't play Take On; but I've played a lot of Arma2\3 and since I've used an SSD I've never had texture or LOD popping
