Did anyone elses load times just jump??

[legacy-buttercup]

After a bit of initial tweaking (weeks ago) my load times were down to about 20ish seconds....

Last night it was fine.

I go to join a game tonight and so-far I've been unable to get into a game... just stalls on the load screen...

has anyone else suddenly had this problem?

[legacy-daedelus7183]

Nope. The only problem I've had online tonight was that I just played a 45 minute ONS game....against five bots. That sucked when I finally noticed their pings were all zero.

heh.. did that the other night... had a blast...

I actually typed GG a time or two before I noticed....



But thanks for the note about the load issue.... I'll try and trouble shoot it from my end... just wanted a confirmation that something I didn't know about... didn't happen ...

I've been stalling on load a lot lately, mostly for servers with over 90 ping to me.

[legacy-senshu]

No problems here. If anything, I'm getting into games faster than ever.

[legacy-Twigsby]

That happens to me on some occasions. Usually its because the server is changing map while i'm trying to join, Unreal tries loading the first map it was running, gets confused and stalls.

It might be a server side problom. try putting your HD through a defrag tho, that manages to speed load times up for me quite a bit.

I was actually enjoying the silence. No SPAMMER! N00b! accusations, no Camper *****ing. Yea it was kinda embarassing to find out that I was surrounded by bots, but heh.

Yeah. You know people are pretty bad in Onslaught when they accuse lil' ol' me of botting. In Onslaught. I mean, FFS, who the hell bots in Onslaught?!? What's the point?

Anyways, I think from now on I'm gonna stick to deathmatch and CTF, where I become a better player after playing for 3 hours than a worse one...

Every now and again i get load screens which never seem to finish loading, i have to ctrl alt del out and shut down UT and start it up again, rather annoying, no real pattern to it. Hopefully be addressed in the first patch.

I've got the same problem here. Sometimes, the game just freezes at the loading screen. Ctrl alt del power !

[legacy-Slaughter]

Ditto on the load screen freezing. Seems very random.
