Didn't seem to decrease my load time. I think SSDs would make the biggest load time improvement.

Giving this a try, SSD's would be a nice change for me as well

Didn't really help out for me. I do need a fix for the server disconnects when changing maps :/

Didn't help me. In fact, since doing that my BF3 game has crashed for the first time, twice.

I agree with inksix... After doing this the game as crashed almost every 45 mins of gameplay... So I uninstalled it and it works perfectly again... Ono did this to see if it work, I didn't have any issues loading the map... However the first 30 secs or so I. The game it's reall really laggy like 30fps then goes up to 70-100 the rest of the time .... Has anyone had this problem?
