Eset nod32 causes a big increase in P3d v4.3/4.4 load times?

[theskyisthelimit 48]

Wondering if anyone has ran into this..

I've set exclusions to exclude my entire p3d SSD drive, etc.. despite this.. if eset nod32 is on.. one load time might be say 5 minutes, turn it off it becomes around 3min30 sec..

I cant figure out why the exclusions arent working unless there is another part of the AV that is causing this..

Has anyone else ran into this?

Thanks in advance

Nope - been using it for years and have not had that issue. Check the settings - possibly you have it set to scan on open or read.

Eset has had no effect on P3D for me. Been using it for several years.

Ditto. As I recall, my Prepar3D v4 folder is excluded. Other stuff as well but, off the top of my head, I can’t remember without checking.

I use Eset and it's fine. It does let you exclude the P3d folder and a few others. The difference in loading times is when you have to load all the ORBX stuff. Try shutting that down and you'll see what I mean. Don't get me wrong, I love their stuff and own tons of it, but it does take forever to load.

Yeah thats what i've done, set exclusions.. here is the twist.. no change off vs on with xp11 load times.. but p3d has issues with it on my system (i'd already removed it and reinstalled ended up in same boat).. i simply do a warm test with it on then a warm test with it off.. i repeat a few times to verify.. at least 1 to 1.5 minute decrease in load time with it off.. i guess i might tinker with turning certain portions off and trying again.

I'm not sure you really realize its slowing things down unless you do a side by side comparison on something that already takes a "long" time to load.
