972 [-K--] Killjoy1941 Members 3,075 posts 6,658 battles Report post #5 Posted January 2, 2016 That's a perfectly normal tier 10 match. The other team has a bit of an edge in the BB department, and maybe a tiny bit again in DD, but I'd take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
972 [-K--] Killjoy1941 Members 3,075 posts 6,658 battles Report post #6 Posted January 2, 2016 Five X's versus 2 X's? Five to three, and there are tier 9s to fill for the missing 10s. Iowa - Monty, Balty - Zao. His team actually has a slight qualitative CA advantage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's... not what I was expecting. TBH I didn't even check if it was the loading screen. Not sure what to tell you on that one since I've never had it happen, but I don't think WG can do much about it other than go full WoT on us and prevent the match from starting until X number of players have loaded in. I don't think it would be popular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did lose about 20% of my health though before even loading in.... Killjoy1941, on 02 January 2016 - 02:15 AM, said: That's... not what I was expecting.

I don't think it would be popular. I would more than welcome this, if it means getting in before the match actually starts. As it stands, I know of many people not being able to get in until upwards of 2 or 3 minutes after the match started....

771 klymar8 ∞ Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 4,191 posts 12,721 battles Report post #13 Posted January 2, 2016 Dang buddy I am definitely glad I never had that bad a problem with load in . Had some days where the first battle could take up to 2 minutes ( but that was rare more usually 20 seconds ) but since 5.0 have been getting loaded in as much as 45 seconds left on clock and never late . Hope it gets better for you . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still gonna miss at least 3 minutes. And again! That's got to be local. There's nothing WG can do about that. A genuine server problem would have cascades of late-loading issues all over the place, and they wouldn't be constant. While I do understand the frustration (I have been there when living in certain places), you're directing it at the wrong target. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
662 [SPTR] Fog_Heavy_Cruiser_Chokai Beta Testers 15,669 posts 4,714 battles Report post #16 Posted January 2, 2016 I always feel bad killing someone that hasn't loaded in yet. Agreed. I have the same qualms as in WoWP. On the one hand, easy XP and Cash. On the other hand, it's not fair to the player at all. On the other other hand, it's not fair to my team to not kill red- red should be dead, and yet on the fourth hand it could be someone who isn't even loading!

822 BURN_Miner Members 3,010 posts 10,193 battles Report post #18 Posted January 2, 2016 I'm gonna reinstall overnight. See if it clears out any mods or something that may be hindering my performance. Yes, please do this. Completely remove it, the client, installer, everything. Defrag the hard drive, given that you have a hard drive and not an SSD, and the run a clean client (meaning *mod free*). Don't alter any files. Not even to enable replays, yet. And see how your load time goes once you down load the new, fresh client/install. Hope that will solve it for you. I've always boasted that I've been able to load quickly into the game and even on my wife's pos, i5 schooling laptop on wifi with a normal 7200 rpm HDD. With load times being at most 20 seconds left prior to the match. Though the stipulation was, with the lesser system, the specs were set to the appropriate "recommended" specs (auto) by the system (just something I let it do) and most importantly, I have always run clean clients/games. The latter has been a practice of mine since my old Unreal Tournament/Counter Strike Days where mods were running amok and with that hacks/virus', hence not only affecting systems, but game play. So I became paranoid. lol Mods are great and they get the community involved and such, but they can also slow the base client down, even after it appears to be uninstalled. Anyway, hope this gets fixed for you. GL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest 0 posts Report post #19 Posted January 2, 2016 Load times can be horrific, especially when your grinding your teeth furiously as the load bar barely progresses, as your team (and yourself) are being shot up as time passes, Hope the situation improves for you. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm keeping my screenshots and replays. Or do I need those deleted as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think its a safe bet that you can at least keep those, but to be on the safest side, see if you cant put them into a flash drive or something like that and keep them separate from the new client.

Gonna need more hands to weigh all the options with. I always think that if I don't kill them now, then they're gonna load in and possibly kill me. Still feel bad though, I used to suffer from horrible load times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I deleted the entire WoWS file, and moved the replays and screenshots out. That should be fine, especially for the screenshots as I highly doubt a simple .jpg file can really effect the game that much. That being said....make sure not to run any replays until after you're satisfied with playing the game completely vanilla....I do not know how WG has made the replay files work as I haven't ever really looked into it, so better safe than sorry.

I always think that if I don't kill them now, then they're gonna load in and possibly kill me. Still feel bad though, I used to suffer from horrible load times. I always let someone else do it. The already loaded players are the real and present threat, so I deal exclusively with them unless there are no other ships at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
