| Well, it would help if you posted your system specs... Without those, it's hard to tell. Do you have a Radeon based videocard, by chance? Loading compressed textures takes a long time with that card. Be sure to get the latest drivers from ATi (6071 is the most recent). There are two solutions: either turn off the use of compressed textures in the game, or a apply a registry tweak to speed up loading of compressed textures. Instructions for doing the latter depend on what OS you have...
