_Maou_ Players 206 posts 8,147 battles Report post #1 Posted June 5, 2015 I am just curious if i'm the only one,but ever since alpha test i had a huge time of loading a game in wows,i mean i would be able to control my ship after 30-40 seconds have passed(at first),and lately(since the 0.3.1 update it got even higher .Now i get into a game after 1-2 min have passed and i'm usualy already being shot at somebody or i don't have the time to relocate at the side where i would like to go(i'm usually driving bb's) and even a few times i was already dead or half dead by the time the game finally loaded.I'm just curious if i'm the only one or is that a common thing because of this i don't have the will anymore to play the game,i don't see a point in playing the game if by the time i get in i'm somebody's hp bagg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The game looks are averageat best, so is size of maps. There is no reson for such a long loading time, except for game being BETA. Get SSD? LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D00dDk Beta Tester 23 posts 3,309 battles Report post #7 Posted June 5, 2015 ssd has nothing to do with it, i think load times are excessive too, and i only got fast ssd's in my system. other games/WOT loads very fast, but this feels like slowmotion. i do manage to enter the maps on start, but only 0-5 sec before game starts, which makes it hard to get any kind of teamwork going. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[POMF] Pekoe_Darjeeling Weekend Tester 2,385 posts 10,008 battles Report post #9 Posted June 5, 2015 I have seen people complaining that they have problems loading maps even with ssd and quite good hardware so if that's true(not their fault) then this may be fixed before open beta. If someone have already decent hardware to run this game on medium or so then he may not want to buy something new just for one game that doesn't work correctly in cbt. Apart from that SSD is always a good idea if your hdd is the problem(If other games also have long loading time and so on). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SAKE] Conte_Vincero Weekend Tester 184 posts 1,215 battles Report post #10 Posted June 5, 2015 Same here, As soon as 0.3.1 hit on my first battle of the day I would load in a couple of minutes after it started. All battles after that I'm only a few seconds after the start but given that before the patch I would never load in after the start, something changed for the worse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[1CR] airmac1 Beta Tester 149 posts 13,352 battles Report post #11 Posted June 5, 2015 I also been having problems with loading the game. Its normally started alr5eady by the time I get in. And I do run with SSD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stigits Beta Tester 2 posts 125 battles Report post #12 Posted June 5, 2015 I also run with SSD and have the same problem, you can see the other ship's moving on the mini map before you enter.. SSD is not the answer, I have just bought a new gaming PC with GTX gfx and SSD dive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richie_b Beta Tester 4 posts 1,689 battles Report post #13 Posted June 5, 2015 One of my major problems is having this installed on my SSD. I am always in map before end of countdown. It is unusual to see most of the ships active within 90 seconds. Which quite often means sailing in circles. With a 30 second countdown, that means a lot of machines are taking 2 mins to log in. Which really is very rubbish indeed.It is another random factor and another significant one. Most unwelcome.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[PGTIP] nikos13ole Beta Tester 217 posts 1,959 battles Report post #16 Posted June 5, 2015 Well loading times after 3.1 have been increased quite a bit before 3.1 i was getting into battle quite fast sometimes in space of the 30 sec cooldown. From what i notice the BIG loading time which for my system (mind you it's an avarage laptop) takes from 45 - 90 secs after that battle is over and i get the same map again the loading time is significant lower were i can load juuuust slight after the battle or just in time were the counter reaches 0. i think it has to do with the data files and how they are being read by the game? not sure about it though just my overall notice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shrapnel_bait Beta Tester 151 posts 383 battles Report post #17 Posted June 6, 2015 Got the same problem, in 3.0 I was getting into battle roughly 10 seconds before the timer ran down, now with 3.1 I don't get into battle until at least 30 seconds after the battle begins, that 30 seconds may not mean much to a destroyer or cruiser driver but to a battleship driver, especially in the lower tiers, it could have a real serious effect on your battle outcome.

[KLUNJ] beercrazy [KLUNJ] Beta Tester 1,509 posts 11,905 battles Report post #19 Posted June 6, 2015 got the same problem before 3.1 all was fine and now it takes forever to load I play mostly in a division of 3 players and the other 2 always load before me this needs sorting before open beta or they will lose players who will feel there computers are not good enough for the game or will get so fed up of finally getting into the game to find on the smaller maps the enemy bb already firing at them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimdorf Beta Tester 97 posts 1,294 battles Report post #20 Posted June 6, 2015 I really hope the devs are working on optimising the loading times, both in the dock (really bad when first logging in) and battle loading (again really bad on first game, somewhat better after that but still iffy) Its an issue that I think could limit the games appeal for many people as it does get irritating to frequently get into a battle after its started.

[-SAH-] still_guns Beta Tester 94 posts 3,575 battles Report post #21 Posted June 6, 2015 This has been a problem since 3.1 came out for me. Before, I would often see the countdown timer on repeat maps. Now I never see it, always starting at least 25 seconds after everyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raskeria Beta Tester 110 posts 10,184 battles Report post #22 Posted June 6, 2015 I am sure they can optimize the game some, but part of the problem is your hardware, I know it is not popular to say, but get a SSD. My game is installed on a normal 7200rpm hdd which has been dieing slowly for the past 2years, and I load in like 5-10sec when the players are selected, so ssd won't do anything if you ask me.

Darzok Beta Tester 196 posts 5,408 battles Report post #23 Posted June 6, 2015 I use to load real fast and all ways be in well before the round started then 3.0 hit and the load time hit hard form around 5-7 seconds max its now like 60+ after a few rounds it starts to go down to around 20-30. There seems to be some kind of loading error as its so hit and miss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m4inbrain Beta Tester 662 posts 525 battles Report post #24 Posted June 6, 2015 Same for me, the first couple of games i load really slow, starting only after the rest of my teammates already finished their turns (BBs) - but after that i get to see the timer.

[TUD1] Captain_Edwards Beta Tester 1,182 posts Report post #25 Posted June 6, 2015 Its data caching at fault. The game needs to cache the ship data before it can load the map. So if you have not loaded up X ship before the match it will take longer. Once you have ships cached its as quick as 3.0 before the problem arose. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
