why i stopped playing

[Mazhigigika Miludin do Din Nol..]

I love the game, and i alwayed backed it up... i was hoping that the last patch solved the neverending loading for games (3 minutes or more), i may not have the best computer (pavilion dv6) but i dont have this problem with any other game, even games that i cant get them to run at decent framerates with bigger maps it loads in less than 1 minute...
its depressing when i manage to join a game, and its almost over, and i have to wait over again... in worst cases after playing a game and joining another, i get the weird disconected icon (wich im not and i dont have this problem on any other game) and i have to rejoin the game, since its the same map they could have stored it on the memory so i dont have to load the map again, or at least realize that i have conection so i dont have to leave the game and rejoin again (wich proves the point that i do have conection).

I hope the devs manage to make the game to load faster, because thats the reason why i havent played much lately.. and im pretty sure im not the only one here..

loved the game and the idea... hope u keeep it up with the good work...

First off, 3 mins does not = forever. Also what kind of game is over in >3mins?

Disconnection icon is an issue with either your end of the connection or the server you are playing on, not NS2.

idk about you but i load in a game within 30 secs.
So you play games that load bigger maps?

Soemone doesnt know lots of an game engine.

you are right, i dont know a lot, but i load the game in 30 sec, in games like the last cod (i tried it on last free weekend) red orchestra rising storm, skyrim, crysis, the witcher(wich i cant even play at decent frame rate, but it does load a lot faster) and so on... i play on the lowest graaphics and resolution, i think they could make an option with basic graphics for the players that doesnt have high end pc...

also, i know no game is over in 3 minutes but usually when u join a game it has already started, that plus the 5 minutes loading means joining in the last part of the game....
then i have to wait the load screen again just to notice that i am disconected (wich im not) and have to reload the game again, i know its not the game fault i get the disconected icon, but they could have some way to make the game try to start again, without having to reload the whole map again.

sorry my english

I load slow too, over 2 minutes - 3.4Ghz Quad Core Phenon II Black Edition & Overclocked HD7850 2GB. It's not a massive issue, there are many more reasons as to why I don't play this game, even though I love it.

Hmm

[100% Recycled Awesome]

I'm getting the final parts for my new build next week.

I'll let you know how much faster games load off an SSD compared to a regular HDD.

[Crouchasaurs]

I load in around 20 - 30 secs off SSD.

I dont even have an SSD and I load same time.

3570K
Asus 7850 2GB DCU2
4GB Ram DDR 1600
1 tb HDD
Some z77 mobo
Win 8...

As far as bigger map nonsense.

The usual cause that other games with biggerm aps may load faster its because thats a different game engine.

There are thousands of game engines.

Please post example on what games load faster that arnt pretty new, and using a new engine?

Skyrim is an optimised AAA Title. Orchestra uses the dated Unreal 3 engine.

Crysis: Old game

skyrim: Just bassically oblivion. Its not that much of a system hog, and is an pretty optimised AAA title.

Orchestra: Runs on dated Unreal 3 engine?

You're certainly not going to get much of an improvement if you currently load 3 mins. You didnt even post your specs so?

[Xyviel]

I think most people here are missing OP's point: the game takes a relatively abnormal long time to load compared to similar recent games on average computers. I also have to wait for 3-4 minutes for the game to load entirely.

Doesn't keep me from playing, though.

I posted it, pavilion dv6 its my notebook, i know the games i mentioned arent the newer ones, but i can get a graphic quality of them that pleases me, yet the game load faster. On this case i got a great game like ns2 where i have to run it on the lowest graphic setting, making it look worse than oblivion to name a game u mentioned, and yet it takes several minutes to load....
theres ppl that cant afford a high end system, not even a dated one, so i think specially independent devs that knows what is having to work with what they have should consider us... and optimize the game for ppl like me, i mean a second option that made the game looks like skyrim (to give an example) and have the same performance than skyrim...
What i get here is a game that is hardly imposible to get decent fps takes forever to load, and have it looks worse than 2002 games.

The sad thing is tha the best thing of this game and its identity (its gameplay) its limited by the ambition the showed making its graphics, they limited the market from ns2 game by themselves (as if the publicity wasnt enough factor).

If you have a high end system you will have a 5star game that looks great, you will also have my envy.... but if youre a hardworking person from a third world country who was a gamer all his life since nes, and you are tired of the same old fps make money cod formula stuff, sadly you will have to stick to it, because at least they optimize its game to run smothly and look decent on lower systems.

Im pretty sure ill come back to this game around 2014/2015 when i got the chance to upgrade my pc, i hope most ppl think like, im pretty sure this game will increase its playerbase if that was the case. But the truth is that the ppl who was dissapointed of how intolerant this game was with decently old systems will not come back.

[Crouchasaurs]

My PC is anything but high end, I bought it for NZD$750, I get 40 fps in-game in NS2. You shouldn't need a super computer to load in under 1 min.

[Revy106]

Kasikeman well done another person to open there eyes to this game....we all just need to let it die and let another company bring it back from the sewer it is stuck in right now

[Chris]

Am I wrong to think that the specs change for this game?

[Hakari]

It takes me about 3-4 Mins to load into a sever when not streaming netflix. When streaming netflix it takes me 10+ mins
