Just an interesting heads-up. I was finding that HDD access on this game was unusually slow, especially when waiting for save and load screens to generate lists. As a last resort, I did a defrag on the drive and the drives were apparently almost 5% fragmented. Once that was fixed, load/save times improved quite noticeably for me.
Now, I regularly defrag my system, and did so only about two weeks ago. Considering that no other programs have been installed since then, it's enough to make me wonder whether this game, or the install process through Steam, plays hell with the file table.
