Slow!

Your out of luck friend. Wolf ET is a game based on an 8 year old engine, but RO is a new game based on a recent engine and its unlikely a laptop with an integrated graphics card, especially a 2 year old laptop, and ESPECIALLY an underpowered viao, is going to play the game. I am suprised you can load at all.

Sorry ;_(

i see so many complaints about load times.

..the maps are like 4-5 times bigger than the CoD2, and DoDS maps out there, i mean has anyone here played BF2? It takes ages to load BF2 maps (much longer than RO), but ITS TO BE EXPECTED coz the maps are huge.

So please bear that in mind when you whinge about load times.

 

[Wolfenstien:ET Vet]

ok it loaded ONCE when i was waching famly guy
it was like a 20min load or somfin

oh and wolf:et is taking up say 2.38GB i think

 

[Witzig]

Diablo2 takes up 2 Gigs too, but runs like silk on my old PC...

 

[Rrralphster]

The total size of a program doesn't say anything about loadtimes...

 

[Wolfenstien:ET Vet]

my friend let me use it and it worked

RO Mod load time: 10s or less
RO Retail load time: 1m+

On my old PC at least. My new one loads a LOT faster (and uses the same harddrive, so that isn't the limiting factor..)

Before the tweaking, I was roughly 65 secs, now Im averaging 55 secs. Im quite happy with that

 

[Wolfenstien:ET Vet]

*shigh* ok ill ask my dad ...(soon)

oh and i have a RO:OST box w/ 2 cd

 

[Jaesperson]

send them to me in case you dont buy a new pc, that money is wasted anyway

 

[Wolfenstien:ET Vet]

i did it whare you can see desktop (not full screen) and it loaded in 6min or less
and im happy

Ok, my computer isn't great, but I am still able to run the game and load a map in about 3-6min my system specs are: 512mb RAM
P4 2.8ghrz
ATI Radeon 9200 128mb AGP
All i did was went into the Redorcestra.cfg file and changed all Precaching to False, i have a smooth FPS rate and it doesnt take 40min to load anymore

 

[Creutz]

ok i just got RO:OST and when i join a map it takes like 30min to 60min
Why?

First of all I must say I`m very impressed with you sitting out the time of minimum half an hour loading a map. I would have smashed most loose objects in my flat after 10 min. Are you a Yoga Master ?

Second the us retail box claims the minimum specs to be 256mb Ram .
My specs are well over the recomended and I must say that the requirements are misleading. TW should consider changeing the recomended specs to 1 gig Ram and minimum 512. Hopefully the european retail Box have this changed.

My point is that you can`t expect the consumers to know this because the recomenations says it will work fine with 256 Ram and exellent with 512.

Edit : Took an extra look at the US retail Box . There are no recomendations only minimum specs, , Sorry about that

did'int you read?
loaded in 6MIN OR LESS

If you try to connect to a server that changes a map the game kicks you. Theoretically you can connect to a server that has 3 rounds of 20 minutes that run for the duration. But come one. Be realistic.
I don't even think people who say they have to wait for 4-5 minutes have a real sense of time. When people need to wait for more then 12 seconds at a trafficlight they allready get impatient...
Even without tweaking the .ini it didn't take more then 30secs to start with, for me that is.
I'm not saying it is totally impossible, just not probable... as in "Myth Busted!!!!"

 

[1 3 3]

6mins is still unacceptable

i'd say do some routine system maintance, disk cleanup, defrag, adaware scan, uninstall things you don't use... and see if any of that helps at all.

 

[DirtyRat]

it takes me around 30-40 secs to load a map on a full server, sometimes tho its much faster - and if i turned my settings down it would do it in 15-20 secs.

Minspec. *shudder*

I used to test on a minspec machine. Awful. Just awful! Such horrible memories...

i have 2 copies of RO. one on my 2.1 ghz, 512k ram, geforce 6600 gt, and the other on my 1.0 ghz, 512k ram, geforce 5200, and they both load infantry maps in less than a minute. of course the 1.0 doesnt look as good but its playable. you ever get killed by someone named OZZY2112 then you got killed by my 1.0 ghz pc.....
