Map Download - Taking 17 minutes
« on: Yesterday at 10:25:15 AM »
Hello,

I am trying to download the new map currently to get into the game. The game itself when opened slows the mouse down and takes an extremely long time to download. I did a network speed test getting 650 download 462 upload for speeds.. It seems to be isolated to just the game..Is there an issue with the server?

Until I try and join the MA, the lobby doesnt lag, and when I press to download it goes from 18 mbps download and slowly dwindles to .5

You can run a ping /tracert. I don’t have address to use in front of me.
I had that happen once, never happened since

Sounds good I’ll give that a try if it happens again. Luckily I had a meeting but it took about 21 minutes to download

I’m not too sure. I did a few checks like speed test, reset computer, closed game out. I found it was only the download after it finished game was fine no lagging. And while downloading if it was minimized all other browsers and things connected to the internet worked as they should. It’s all set now because it’s downloaded just was stumped and hope it doesn’t happen again. Felt like how long it took back when I had dial up haha

FWIW just the other day I had just opened my computer and checked my e-mail and read some forums without issues, meaning the performance was sufficient to those tasks. Then I thought I'd zero my brain by playing some online Mahjong on a familiar site. For some reason the page loaded veeeery slowly, only the symbols on the tiles were showing which was unplayable as the tiles were transparent. Restarting my browser helped a bit but the page still loaded slowly. After all the elements were there the game played smooth as butter. Don't know if the browser was updating in the background or something else, the 300/300 optical fibre connection should be stable as a rock.

Computers are definitely feminine. They can get mad at you for no obvious reason. And kiss and hug you the next moment.
