> [@Infinite\_12](#): > > No I have the original xbox one. And I shouldn’t habe to buy an external hard drive for something my internal hard drive should be doing. This is a problem on ea’s end I’m wondering if you are being willfully dense. EA doesn’t make the hard drive of the XB1. They made a brilliant game, but its architecture is a bit much for the XB1 to load quickly. The same problem in Witcher 3, same problem in Fallout 4 and many games. EA may find ways to tune things so that it loads a little faster for you, and I’m sure they will work on that. But when they DO, people with external drives will STILL load in faster than you. If you’re not grasping the fact that you asked what could be done about the issue and people told you a sure fix, then the problem is definitely on your end. ---

As has already been said I can be on the map choosing what vehicles I want before anyone else even sees the screen and I can be on my way to the first flag before everyone else. This shouldn’t happen but it does.

Or you can buy a 2.3 liter v4 Mustang for cheap just to say you have a mustang, but can just keep up with a stock Civic, or you can buy a 6.0 v8 Mustang and beat the living snot out of that stock Civic and they are both the same cars just 1’s faster. Get my point? Im a PC guy, but an HDD is going to be the problem, you can only load data from it at around 100mb/s at 5400rpm with high accesstimes somewhat faster on the 7200rpm where an SSD can load things at 400mb/s+ with vary low access times, you will load in faster on an SSD, their is nothing EA/Dice can do to really optimize it unless they make everyone in the entire round wait until the slowest person loads or ship everyone SSD’s. I don’t think they sell Xbox’s with SSD’s so you would have to spend more money to make it faster, just like a car, if you want your car to go faster, well buy some parts to make it go faster. You don’t blame a car manufacturer if your already cheap car can’t go more than 100mph and wasn’t designed for speed. ---

Yeah it’s absolutely terrible. The worst is when you load in (at the very start of the game) yet the server doesn’t let you spawn until after the other team has taken flags etc … smh ---

> [@full951](#): > > i use an external. and i load in first everytime. with three or four people. so no. it’s not on EA’s end. This is a genuine fact. I also do it with an external SSD. Cost me about £70 and I just run whatever game I’m playing from the SSD. ---

I’d like to try this. Is there a way to copy everything from the Xbone HDD to an SSD or will I have to re-download the game. Any recommendations on SSD brands? ---

I just got a cheap one to test it and bought a case to fit it in, takes two minutes. Once you plug it in the Xbox formats the drive and then you can just move games from the internal drive to the external drive, this can take a while as BF1 was over 45gb if I remember. ---

Any recommendations on SSD brands? It’s super-easy on the XB1. As soon as you plug-n-play it asks you if you want to move your games, your apps or both or if you want to choose them individually. If you just want BF1, go to “my games and apps”, hover over BF1 and hit start, a menu will drop down and you can tell it to move the game. Takes a few minutes and you’re good. You can then set it to send all your future games to the XD if you like. For XHD, I think the Touros-S is very nice for 1TB and $60 For an SSD, Samsung, Seagate, Crucial, SanDisk all make good models ---

I bought a Samsung 850 SSD and now I am first every time I spawn into a new match. External SSD has made playing MUCH more enjoyable. ---

I have two Xbox Ones side by side, one is the standard one and the other is the One S and when both are playing BF1 at the same time, the loading times are inconsistent so I don’t think it’s a hardware issue. Also very often when loading into game, one of the kits would get a black screen with only the HUD and icons visible. It’s as if all the lighting in the map didn’t load at all. The only way to get rid of that for me is to reboot. Let’s just say between me and my partner when we play BF1 together, we spend most of our time in loading screens or troubleshooting our way through the bugs we encounter. It is quite frustrating. Very often the game would end by the time we load into the game and then it’s another round of loading screen for the next match. Overall, loading into and exiting out of matches is extremely slow. DICE, please improve performance on X1, try to make it less than 30 second and give options to customize load outs while we wait. Do these loading issues also occur on PS4 and PC too? Also my internet speed is 150Mbps so it’s I highly doubt it’s internet speed related. I hope you patch this DICE. ---
