Load Times??

[>FACE<]

Ok, does anyone in here get sick and tired of those long 5 min load times if someone talks at the end of the 10 second count?
Or when someone is trying to join the same game as you and it takes at least 1 minute maybe more to just get into the game.

I'd like to know what Zipper is doing to stop this, i know with larger maps and all it will reduce the lag, but that is just in the game, not joining or loading times. These better servers should be good for a while, but the servers they have now were new when they got them, but look at the amount of lag that you see now....

I know Zipper prides itself because of this very popular socom series, but between the load times and regular lag, it isn't all that great.

So i ask all that read this thread, what info has been released (other than the servers and large maps) hints how load and lag will be cut, cause no matter what, if you get 80,000 people on, it is going down

Get a faster internet connection... that will help lag.

i have the fastest available.....cable modem

[Spookius]

try T1.

.........But no about the overall lag zipper said they had some tricks up their sleeves and said that it will quite possibly lag LESS than S2, even with 32 people. :D

that sounds good....seriously though, if it doesn't proform better i won't play

and the servers don't make lag people do because when your in a game the server does nothing. Only the host sends the packages and not the server.

I hope that this time the servers do all the work and not the host. when a host has crappy internet then there is lag.

There is a tread on this forum explaining it its a stick i don't know where it is but look for it.

Talking at the last 10 seconds doesn't do anything. It is the host's connection that makes it take a while to load. I've seen games where someone is holding the mic the whole last seconds and the game started up quick. I've also seen games where there are no last words and it takes forever to start. It is just the host that depends on the load screen time.

ya it will probably take a long time to load the maps for socom 3 since there so big

[>FACE<]

yeah.....idk, it just seems like when people talk that last 10 secs that it takes longer and more people get booted, when that happens i usually hope the host was booted to give the connection to someone with a better one

Yea that is soo annoying and we all hate it. But i dont think you can do anything about it unless you pay a monthly fee.
