About this mod
Significantly decreases the loading times for just about everything in the game! Faster boot times, and loading into maps just got a lot faster. Improvements up to 5x depending on hardware :D

Have you ever thought, "Wow, this game is a decade old and still takes ages to load on new hardware"? This simple mod is the ultimate solution!
This mod essentially removes the default limiter to the CPU when loading in maps, characters, etc. so the game can take full advantage of modern hardware.
Enjoy instantaneous boot times, and load times that get you right into the action!
Improvements can vary depending on hardware but should be a big boost overall. Below are some benchmarks on my gaming PC vs my school laptop:
PC Specs: Ryzen 7 5700X CPU - Samsung 990 PRO SSD
Laptop Specs: Intel i5-1335U CPU - SK Hynix (HFS512GEJ4X112N) SSD
Booting up the game:
PC
Default: 9.4 seconds
With Mod: 3.2 seconds
Laptop
Default: 15.8 seconds
With Mod: 7.6 seconds
Loading Garden Ops on Jewel Junction:
PC
Default: 21.5 seconds
With Mod: 4.5 seconds
Laptop
Default: 24.5 seconds
With Mod: 5.5 seconds
Almost a whopping 5x boost in loading times, and a 2-3x boost in booting times for both computers!!
NOTICE: There is a slight bug where the UI elements may animate at a ridiculously fast pace after loading. This is normal and will return to its regular speed a second later.
Mod not working for you? Ensure you set up your Environment Variable correctly as explained on the discord, and that you killed "EA Background Service" in Task Manager before launching. You will only need to do this once so mods can work on Garden Warfare 1. Make sure you remove the Environment Variable if you are planning to mod on a different Frostbite game!
Enjoy!
