Or are there actually other people who are also experiencing abnormaly long loading times after adjusting graphical settings.. it took my game nearly 6 to 8 minutes to finally configure the new setings.
Sometimes the loading takes a minute, but I've never had it take longer than that. It also seems to depend on what you're setting it to. Raising the settings takes longer than lowering them, so if your computer isn't all that powerful and you want to try out some better settings, it might take longer than usual.
So, it may be a "you" problem, but I can't say that for sure. We'll have to wait for more people to provide input.
I just changed my settings again to a lower setting just to see and clock the required time. Started at 07:47 it finished at 7:56 that's 9 minutes of configurating my settings.
