Long loading time to join servers

[Dman979]

Hi all.
I just got access to the new Skirmishes phase II. Unfortunately, I'm unable to join any servers due to the long loading time.

I am in the Eastern part of the US, and I have tried joining the NA East Union Drill Camp and one of the NA battle servers. When I try to join, I experience loading times of over 10 minutes, before the screen times out. My ping is under 50 for both, and neither one was full when I tried joining. I have only been able to connect once, and that took at least 5 minutes to load.

I am running WoR on Low settings. I have a NVidia GTX970M, 16 GB of RAM, and an Intel i7-6900 CPU.

When I run other multiplayer games, I do not experience similar loading delays.

I hope this is helpful the the developers, but in the meantime, I'd like to know if this is a common problem, or if it's just my setup, and if there's any way to fix it.

Best,

Loading does take a while, but not 10 minutes. What seem to be happening is you are crashing while loading which has been known to happen. I would suggest to try again and again till you get in. I have had it happen several times in a row before. By the way your setup should be fine. Update if you finally can get in.

I was able to finally get into a game, and it was fun. It did take about 5 minutes to load, though.

While playing, though, I ran into some massive stuttering problems. Normal, my settings or setup, and is there a fix?

The load times are long because of an update previously that added in a system that prevented the server from freezing when players spawned, it pre-caches the characters I believe.

As for the stuttering, either just play through it or turn the graphics to low.

Oh right, I do remember reading about that. Good catch.

They are on low. Any tips?

I havent had problems loading in but I have experienced long times to actually deploy, either flag or in the deployment zone

Lower your resolution, but aside from that, that's it. What are your specifications on your PC?

Same here. Unusually long deployment times.

Deployments work on a thirty-second timer. If you're deploying on the main spawn, you'll either wait one second or twenty-nine seconds depending on how close to the wave your death was. As far as I'm aware, the flag works the same way but has an additional queue system in place.

I used to have massive problems joining the server but I upgraded my video card and went from 8--16gbs of ram and it's much faster now.

Gonna back this up, re-spawn times are a lot longer than 30 seconds

Couple of minutes in some cases, and that's on the main spawn not the flag.
