Both Autoupdate and the GTL game startup very slowly. I have to wait for minutes. Starting the game requires extreme patience.
Once it is running everything appears to be fine.

Checking Windows Resource Monitor revealed hardly any CPU usage but high disk load. Both for Autoupdate and GTL. It seems to be reading in all tracks and teams.

The hard disk is an old 2,5" type. Not very fast for sure, but other software runs fine and swift.

Any explanation?
Or is this perhaps normal???

same here , maybe normal

One solution, don't run Autoupdater and GTL at same time. While playing GTL, you didn't need the updater.

Glück auf!
