[WorkAround] Insane Loading Time - Windows

Post by Amrock » 29 Sep 2014, 12:02

Hi,

I suffered insane Loading Wolrd time (+25 min) since the begin, something kinda dramatic as servers tend to crash regulary. :evil:

This easy workaround worked fine for me since a few day, and recently solved the same issue for 1 other people so it may help even more:

- Launch the TaskManager (ctrl+alt+del) before launching the game
- After the join session done, come back to desktop (alt-tab)
- Wait there untill you hear the game has started, usualy 2-3 min

You will notice that your network bandwith becomes very lazy just after the start pic, like 0,03% used.
I suppose that it drops to nearly 0 without this little operation.

This "workaround" just ask your connection Hey what are you doing now?!.
Nothing here that could harm your computer nor your software.

You know, I tried to do that but nothing really changed, in fact, the loading screen ended up freezing up and I had to use the task manager to close it XD But that seems to narrow it down though, the fact that your network process is what slows you down.

There is a simple solution, switch to windowed mode then join a game, once you’re successfully spawned then switch back to full screen mode and play as normal.

I thought I was going mad when this started happening a few days ago, as I just thought it was lots of data as the island was changing, but it got to the point of being ~21mins to get in the game after selecting your character, so I started resource monitor to see how big the data was to join, it turned out to be just 3.5mb to 4mb! it was then I see that it was sending data at just 1060bytes/sec which is about the same as the TX/RX during gameplay where I am on the island, luckily I switched to windowed mode so I could easily bring resource monitor to the foreground which fixed the problem upon the next time I joined, likewise its repeatable at will 99% of the time on the servers I join, so I always join in windowed mode then switch to full screen.

Hrmm... seems weird that this would work.. but I will try it tonight and report back on if it helped to load the game faster. This is the only reason I don't play more often.. the 10 to 20 minute load time.

Well... I've noticed absolutely no difference at all. Starting the game in windowed mode and it is still taking 10 to 15 minutes of "Loading World..." to get into the game.

With the latest update, I assume the GM one, I can now no longer access the command console during the loading to see what is going on as well.
