Slow loading times

Posts : 830 Join date : 2013-08-23 Location : Australia

All my loading times, for Solo or Coop are at least 5 times longer than they were before the new reward system patch.

This is over multiple browsers and multiple PC's & ISP's. (ie, Home & work).

Why is loading so much slower?

Is it still like this?

Yep.

Literally just posted it while I was waiting for that last coop match to start.

Is it for every match? This is supposedly to happen only at the first time and then the browser cache should make things a lot faster...

Will do some further troubleshooting.

It appears my browsers may not be caching correctly since this patch.

I will clear my cache and test further. Smile

I personally tested it and it is working just fine.

Perhaps your browser is set to clear cache with each refresh?

Big improvement since Yesterday when it took 3 minutes to enter a match.

(That was yesterday) ... today:

So 3x improvement -- Thanks!!

From same post yesterday:

Yep problem was fixed 'soon' ... so time now, today, to go play again and quest & battle to catch up! Basketball

Addendum: Well one minute is still a bit slow of course; however, I believe this last part the ISP (internet service provider) is to blame -- its been acting up last week. I'll do same test, when I know ISP is giving me superb bandwidth & see how fast it can start a battle.

Yep, as I suspected, it was my ISP causing it to take a minute -- I waited until the ISP stopped being annoying & could play a youtube video without glitching (constantly stopping and restarting) ... and then:

So when my ISP is behaving properly the game can now load in 22 seconds. Smile

9x improvement since yesterday -- Thanks again!!

The issue with slow load times has clearly been resolved nicely.

P.S.: Totally irrelevant point: New Cyanish color is now being used for highlight instead of the previously used dark blue color as requested by Fyrr Rolling Eyes

-- Joyce the colorful!

Joyce, your posts always make me smile. Smile

I am glad that the loading times are fast.

Have fun!

Yup Joyce can be fun.

though always using me as an excuse why she changed something Very Happy

(some may say she changed it because i asked, surely, but.. hehe). Changing colours makes sense anyway for such a prism-y person Razz

Change it more in the future.

Always nice to not have to load for an eternity too.

Same here, it's never getting any faster.

Loading times are pretty fast for me.

Coops and Solos.

Perfect! We are back to normal then!

Full speed ahead for Custom Banners, Halloween event, PvP AI players' controlled armies, Prestige System, Spectators AND tournaments! (notice where I hid such important information...in a bug report... Wink

)

Guild Vault features?
Guild.....Vault.... Please.......I'm begging you? Sad

Ehm. Indeed, fully implemented Vault should have been at least mentioned here. I am sure many players would vote for it to have more priority than most of mentioned features.

Challenges (Private matches) is right after the tournaments.

Contracts have not been forgotten.

People, this is a bug report section, so let us stick to that. Smile

K one last question Very Happy

Will those private matches have an option to have no rewards and no consequences? Just as an option to show someone how to do stuff or test something? No rewards, no cp, no heals, no repairs. Would be great to test stuff and teach new players (even better if people could even spectate that sparring mode).

As discussed here - http://www.battleconforum.com/t857-an-idea-sparring

It will probably be ONLY without rewards.

you started it! you invited offtopic! though in a way this particular topic is fitting, slow..times, since it will take long for you to implement all this, granted.

including cps? removing the 70% healcost 'reward'? doesn't sound good if so.
meh, vault first!

Really Fyrr? Is this really happening? For one I don't start going offtopic like you consistently do by bringing such idiotic things as this post of yours. Secondly you just said it yourself that Rune started it. and Thirdly its Rune FFS you don't always get his attention and if I have to go offtopic to do it I will do it.
