    I have an old one, but fast enough HDD just for games Seagate ST3500320AS (SATA-2, 7200rpm, 32MB buffer). I keep it always defragmented.

    I don't think it is HDD related problem.

    I also have long loading times, even when the game's on my SSD, so Hard Disk should not be the source of the problem.

    Really hope for this problem to be solved. Makes it really hard to get to play commander since there is already someone commanding once you get into the game.

    on the issue that my mods are still visible as BLANKS see screenshot on 1 or 2 page. i looked again in my appdata ns2 and found lots of folders inside the workshop... deinstallation failed?`in steamaccount is nothing displayed, but the folder is full of things like m4fd7fd4_1342767525, is it a hash + steamworkshop id?

    - also after deleting cache folder and playing for hours and restarting ns the loading process seems to be even WORSE !!! shader loading takes a MINUTE alone, so now i am waiting for 3min -.- the ssd is brandnew, same as the grafics

    - in comparison to above hdd, this is my bench with the ssd, if this is helpfull, i dont know, just want to help getting this fixed soon
    <a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/meeyZPZp4BEky9n72amHC1IR9W7X1lcD4S_FX1Io3nIdafQTgIQ87DDi-k4kVQllWnY4nk6q9DE" target="_blank">https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/meeyZPZp4...VQllWnY4nk6q9DE</a>

    - this makes me very sad, but what the hell is with these hitboxes? as marine and alien i have difficulties to hit the enemy although my crosshair is ON THE TARGET, my ping is under 30 with 50fps, playing on a server with 0 loss and 30tickrate (performance 100%) is anyone having the same problem?

    - same with the shotgun, where does this delay come from, i remember played ns1 and same as the LMG the SG shots were almost instand fired after i pressed mouse1, in ns2 it takes almost a WHOLE SECOND, no it is NOT THE PING, is this by design???

    - the healing towers, i forget their names, in ns1 this was the defence chamber. are they working with % or by fixed number of +10health / sec? they are working fine.... as skulk... any bigger creature can wait for min to heal up, this is way to slooooow if u compare it with the armory on marine side

    - if using cloaking chambers on hive EVERYTHING IS LAGGY, i checked my ping fps etc as always and nothing is unusal, i cant see any difference by the screen seems to jump over some pictures, like they were missing, i read this already in another forum and multiple player ingame were asking the same issue, it seems this only happening with a hive and a cloaking chambers, espcially on ns_summit, the hive on the top, couldnt check other hives/maps so far.

    would be helpfull to hear any other comments on this by team or other players. thank you for your time and work

    There is other problem for me. I wait marine from the corner to mark him with my skulk. He see me and begin fire. I instantly go to cover, run a few meters and die. He can't see me. And this happens always. Seems it is netcode feature to compensate ping. Can't say is it good or not, but sometimes makes me angry :>

    Game is fine for me. After i fix shaders, it remains only long loading and internet crash after "connection to server failed". I noticed that it happens when server almost full. It is absolutely no my connection issue.

    I have this same problem. Always compiling shaders and precaching takes forever. I thought people were getting stuck indefinitely precaching so in another thread I said I never had an issue.. I guess I do. Thought the game just normally had long load times.

    EDIT: I also have both my OS/cache and my steam folder on seperate SSD's so it's definitely not a drive speed issue. I have a pretty close to bleeding edge SSD as my steam drive.

    Seems like it happens right after i search servers. And because of this i receive connection failed, cause my internet already down. After 2-3 try it's normally load serverlist and i can connect.

    My log. Hope it helps.

    I am also experiencing this problem, not sure if it helps but I firmly believe it's a software glitch based on my Hardware;

    i7 3930k @ 4.6Ghz
    690GTX
    32GB Ram
    OCZ Vertex 3

    Everytime it does precaching and all that jazz again, no options help nothing. Even a full reinstall same thing.

    If it helps at all I play at 5760x1200 on Three monitors.

    Hey guys, try turning off VSYNC in the options menu and maybe in your driver's control panel as well; While the game till compiles shaders and precaches it does so nearly instantly for me when I disable VSYNC. If I turn VSYNC back on it takes ages again. Might just be a fluke, but give it a try.
  • SebastianSwordSebastianSword Join Date: 2012-11-05 Member: 167079Members
    Same issue.

    The load time is not unbearable, but the game has without exception started by the time I get in. Getting on the same team with my friends who don't have this issue is sometimes difficult.

    A temporary solution for now could be to lengthen the warm-up period, or make it so you can't leave the ready room (choose sides) for 30-60sec after a new map has loaded (server side).

    I had unusual load times and enabled texture streaming, now the game loads up and joins servers without hesitation. Most load time is spend on server-client handshakes.
  • worlockedworlocked Join Date: 2012-11-02 Member: 165828Members
    Has anyone else tried disabling VSYNC? I swear it worked for me.
  • minos_minos_ Join Date: 2012-11-01 Member: 165722Members
    Getting this problem as well. System specs:

    Win XP SP3 32 bit
    Core 2 Duo e8400 @3ghz
    6gb ram, only 3gb usable thanks to 32 bit
    ATI Radeon 4800

    I've been having this issue since launch, both with and without mods subscribed. Figured that the patch which had something about a precache fix would be this, but it seems not to have been. Was going to post the log, but forums tell me my post is too long when I try.

    I fixed my problem guys.
    I just tryed to fix empty server browser problem and reduced max pings in steam <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=123251&st=0" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/in...123251&st=0</a>
    Then i decided to check "texture streaming" option and enabled it.
    Don't know what helped but now map loading is just perfect. Also i particularly fix problem with server list. Hope it helps.

    i tried disable vsynch loading gets better but it is still VERRY LONG
    texture stream does not seem to make any difference, dunno what it does, but disable gameplay fps are worse
    also i have BIG frame drops in refinery from stable 55-60 to 10-20, no need for enemy units, mouse feeling is stuttering cause of the frame jumps which makes complete unable to navigate my view as i do it on the table. performance is quite a big topic... for a finished game there is a big need for a load of a boost. using almost highend pc setup should bring stable 30fps

    This is very annoying, I always join the game LATE because EVERY TIME a map loads it precaches and does the shader thing.

    Seriously, wtf!

    I just figured out something that improved load times for me. I still precache every time (is that normal?), but it's much faster. I simply disabled vsync in-game and forced it on with triple buffering through the nVidia control panel.

    Edit: Back to slow loading for me. The nVidia forced vsync limited my FPS to 30 most of the time. However, I can definitely say the problem is related to vsync + triple buffering.

    The new build (229) didn't change the load time for me, still have to wait ~2:30 mins to connect to server or map change...

    In general texture streaming should improve load times, because it will load the textures as you play instead of before you are in the game. When it says "Precaching 0/..." it is generally loading textures.

    It shouldn't be compiling shaders every time you join a game. You should only see that when the shaders change, which typically would only be the first time you run the game after a patch. Please let us know If you are seeing that frequently.

    There were some improvements to load times in the last patch, but if you are still seeing 2 minute load times let us know. On a decent machine your load times should be more like 20 seconds.

    <b>Max</b>, I've already posted information on that here:
    <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=123149&view=findpost&p=2007468" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/in...t&p=2007468</a>
    It was for 228 build, but as I said there is no change in 229 for me.

    If it is a normal situation for my PC config then you can tell me that. If it is not, then I can make a new video, or make a demo, or provide any other info that you want to obtain from me.

    Core 2 Duo 2.67
    4gb ram
    8800 gtx 1gb
    windows 7 32bit

    It takes 2 minutes for each map to load, generally though its the same for changing maps once into a server as well

    The shaders thing, I see it every time, the first time is slower, but it still goes through it (quicker though) every time. The longest time honestly is the second it connects to the server, it needs to be on precache 0/XXX but its taking 10 seconds to even start the precaching process.

    See all that "tic0" debug info in your console when you load a map? Thats map loading information that pertains to how fast you are loading.
    This was implemented to solve any future issues with map loading afaik.
    So.. grab that log.txt (see stickied posts for instructions) and post what it has to say after you load a map that has already loaded before. (to rule out first time use)
    thanks

    I get this too, and by the time I've finished loading, the game has already begun. My computer specs are very reasonable:

    Okay keep these logs coming if you have troubles with loading times still past the first load. (like you astona)
    Thanks!

    As people constantly pointed out, we are getting the Shader message (first run) and precaching EVERYTIME a map loads. Not only on the first run.

    see log from today, quite long, and server was on 5fps constantly after a 70min match, too many structures, very need to optimize a bit here

    also had more crashes than on last patch, but it has not freezed once so far <.<
