Computer Setup:
i7 930 @ 3.2GHz OC'ed
ATI 5870 Vapor-X OC'ed
6GB DDR3 - 1600MHz
Asus P6X58D-Premium
128GB Crucial SSD C300 SATA3
1TB WD Blue
Windows 7 Pro
I don't run any anti virus, and have disabled Windows firewall/defender both. I also have tried different ATI drivers from 10.6 to 10.9 (most recent) and updating Direct X from Microsoft's website. On a side note, I even tried reinstalling Windows and the game running on a clean copy of W7 Pro.
However, the game takes 2-3 minutes (not exaggerating) to open. When I double click the icon it goes to the black screen and hangs for 2-3 minutes then finally plays the intro video. After that the game seems to run perfectly fine until you exit a track. If I have been racing 30 seconds or 2 hours on a track and I try to go back to the main menu it says "saving reply" in the bottom for 2-3 minutes before the main menu is actually responsive. I never had an issue on my 2 older computers and my laptop works just fine on Windows 7. The only difference between my older computers and my new one I can think of is that it's an ATI based video card and all my old machines have Nvidia chips. Any suggestions?
