Some of you might already know this but this trick is something I only just discovered yesterday thanks to a post over at the BL boards.


To dramatically speed up load times start the game and then minimise the window when you get the black loading screen. You can do that with the Windows key or with Alt-Tab. The game will load MUCH faster if the window is minimised. Normal load time for me was about 6 minutes. Using this trick it loads in about 1 minute. I don't know why it works and it might not work for everyone but it's definitely worth trying.

Don't thank me for this, thanks go to Freedom at the BL board.

I have also noticed that this happens. Particularly when larger mods are enabled.

Thanks for the tip. I tried and it worked! And I assumed that the minimised windows were given less priority the by the OS!

Thanks for bringing this up again @ManuelWalker.  Always good to make new/longtime players aware/reminded of ways to make the most of their Banished time. Especially when using lots of the great mods found here on WOB.
