New Games playing off Disc even after HDD install

[TheLastDude]

i think it is only doing that because of the new xdg3 disk format.

it only does that when 1st loading, tho. it always reads from disk after that for me.

Could have something to do with the RGH's going online and the next ban wave, sort of a disc check or something?

What's with all these new games coming out that play off the disc for like 90 seconds after loading even when I have installed them onto the hard drive? Kingdoms of Amalur just did it after I installed it. Skyrim also does it Anyone care to shed some light on why they do this? None of my older games do it.

I'd say the folks mentioning disc checks and XGD3 are right. The XGD3 discs probably just seem worse, as their checks more extensive, and are pushing the limits of the discs and older drives (which may be why some folks barely notice the change, while others sound like they have a Harrier landing in their living room).
