anybody else having very slow load into battle since 6.10

[digger52]

Now I have already raised a ticket but im interested if im on my own here or others are having the same problem.

 

Before 6.10 I was usually the first or one of the first loaded in on our team each battle and used to "curse"the players especially DDs who loaded in late. Karma has caught up with me in 6.10 as im now loaded in at least 30 seconds after the battle starts and my camo doesnt load onto my ship in battle for at least another minute. The strange thing is my ping and FPS are indentical to how i was prior to 6.10, its as if the harddrive is choking itself on data.

 

What im interested in is if i'm alone or is this widespread. I wont play as a DD until its fixed as I dont want to jeopardize the team so stuck with  a bb or heavy cruiser which are less effected by a slow load in.

 

Anyway feedback appreciated.

My problem began with DX11 coming in. Before, I was usually in and sitting there waiting for the clock to count down from about 12-15 on average. After the update, I would usally load in after the game had started, and occasionally crash. I finally got it reasonably sorted out, but then 6.10 started the same issue again. I did more tweaking on my computer end, and now I'm joining in and seeing the timer again, or at least popping in just about when the timer hits 0.

I had this problem with the last patch, however, it actually got resolved with this one.

No idea why.

I had the problem of the black load in screen, but that and the load in are great with the latest patch.

[anonym_MbpaxbbAUblh]

No.

Ok well this is what I have discovered in the last few hours.

There seems to be an issue with Nortons 360 and this latest update. I tried a fresh install twice more but had the same issue as a very very late load in into the battle ( amazed my karma didnt go down as im sure team members were frustrated but as once loaded did alright guess made up for it).

So i decided to watch task manager under processes whilst loading in and noticed a lot of cpu load on Nortons 360 and low Mb/sec load in in WOWS.

So I got into the settings of Nortons and excluded the WOWS folder from Auto detect,SONAR and download intelligence detection. Well the batlles then loaded in rapidly as they had previous to 6.10. Ive never had to do this for any other game, WOT or WOWS previously so either Nortons doesnt like something in 6.10 or the normal exclusion for WOWS doesnt work with Nortons for this update.

 

Ive put this latest information into my ticket ive raised so Wargamming can have a look at this but if others are having load in issues, they may want to look at their Antivirus. Obviously long term I dont like this setting so im hoping wargamming can get to the bottom of it.

By the way if this is the wrong forum ie should be in bugs etc can an admin. move it, cheers.

I must give this a try, since the update I have had numerous crashes during the load in process.  Worked great for the first day and a half after the update then the crashes started.  Only seems to happen in the random game mode and not co-op.

Another reason not to use paid AV - never had a problem with any AV and WoWs - it will very likely be an issue with Norton being too aggressive..

[6thGuards]

The Norton suite I have is supplied by Comcast.  Excluded the WOWS folder and so far faster fast load times and no crashes.  Probably start crashing now that I wrote this.  :)

I had it happen twice yesterday, while playing CoOp with a buddy. Game would get stuck at loading screen and I had to quit and restart the game each time to be able to load in. 

 

[6thGuards]

Only was crashing with me in random, co-op worked fine.

Just finishing several hours playing random after excluding the WOWS folder in Norton, game is working great, no crashes.

This fixes it. Have a like.

[SPARKY1953]

yes, 

 

i load slowly enough i'm most always the last one to load, i'm concerned about getting sunk before i can do anything!

 

oh and a...twice i've been "run into" by a ship from my team [usually from behind] and charged for damaging an ally?

That's probably what's happening.  Is your physical memory use near maximum?  How state of the art is your rig?  You could try a clean install, but try shutting down competing programs first.  (E.g. Firefox is a real pig.)

It is automatic and both ships get a penalty.
