Is the stages suppose to take this long to load?

[Twinduct]

Been sitting at the 'starting game' screen for like 10 mins plus. No custom systems or anything.

I guess I should be glad that it's not necessarily my internet then (considering the amount of people also experiencing the same). Will just wait and see. Thanks for the help though SSX

SXX: Not worth posting it heh, it's really bad (South Africa). Didn't know they did this or I would have stayed clear.

Yeah it's looks like internet connection might be a problem. 1.8mbps it's damn bad.
One advice: try different server regions, might be connection will be more stable and loading will be done faster.

Is this just for the beta or will the final also be limited to server play (even against AI ... which was what I was trying to do)

No, release version will be DRM free and will include offline play and LAN support.

Okay, creating a game more or less does not work at mo, against A.I anyway. If your willing to wait for a created game with people on 6 or more planets, get ready for a wait. but I just tried joining an empty game and its loading in now, 2 planets, but its still loading, 3 mins so far.

What is server region? Can you try EU?

[Brassmatic™]

oh and a black screen :D

[Brassmatic™]

Im in the UK, so im using EU.

[Twinduct]

SXX: Yeah I actually forgot they said DRM free! Tried all three regions, with EU being the best off. Oh well will try once the servers aren't hammered or wait until final.

The servers are going to be busy for a while now. But it will be better optimized in future updates.

This is really strange, I just created game on US region as well. It's was a bit longer, just 30 seconds or so.

One question, can you try to open log directory:
C:\Users\ YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME \AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\log\
And then find log of active game and then check it's contents while you waiting to join game.

Probably it's just planet generation took long on your machine.

Man I really doubt it's related to servers right now. I have no magic to run game better, but i have i7 2600K. :)

[Brassmatic™]

Not really, sorry. I already queried it in the forums, and its been said that its a common problem at the mo, im happy with that explanation. The game ran fine before Beta so it will be sorted very soon I have no doubt.

Loading times being horrible at the mo is a common issue since beta, and A.I. failing to fill up slots is related.

Thanks anyway.

Once again, here is the link:

Quote "Servers got a little smacked yesterday, and load times are taking a while currently. We're actively working on profiling our memory usage currently, and the speed with which games load will likely be directly impacted by that. You'll see more patches in the coming days that should start to speed up join time, etc. The reason you're landing immediately is because it's taking so long to connect for you, that you hit the "auto placement" time out."

Are you trying to tell me it has never ever taken you longer than 30 seconds to join a game?

8 hours ago it's take even longer, but right now I created 4 new games in row and it's wasn't more than 30 seconds before planet appear.

Probably it's because I'm on Linux, but at least I 100% sure this is not server problem.

Then you disagree with the devs...
You are not using the same client server as me anyway im on windows... I expect linux doesnt have that much load.
And if you have once experienced long load times, then its got nothing at all to do with which brand of CPU we use, rather then down to SERVER....
