Hail all! I find a solution to the neverending load screen. Here my specs:
Biostar TPower I55 Intel Core i7 860 @ 3.8Ghz (HT disable for frames up of course...) NVIDIA GTX280 1024MB (latest 195.39 drivers) Sounblaster Xi-Fi Fatal1ty Gamer Pro G-Skill 2x2GB 1600MHz Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
I had the same issue that all of you: the neverending loading screen before leave the village. So, I change the following compatibility options in the properties of the game shortcut:
Set the compatibility to Windows XP Service Pack 3 Turned on the option Disable Desktop Composition (for stability)
Done! It's surprises me that the loading screen to the next cutscene is incredibly fast...
This worked for me too. Im also running the game on Windows 7 x64 so it might be only a viable solution for us.
