Duty Finder needs to be adjusted NOT to happen while loading

[Dale]

Not really, I have rather slow DSL and I load within seconds.

Can you define "rather slow" DSL?

Because I know people who play on very similar systems as me but have a lot faster internet and it seems to make a huge difference on the loading times.

There is a work-around for this. If you're using KB/Mouse, while the screen is still loading and you can see your chat log, press "0" on your keypad. You'll see a little arrow appear on the screen for seemingly no reason. Press it again and you will have bypassed the UI and accepted entering the instance. I know they need to fix it, but this is an easy work-around until the do. If you have a controller, you can do the same thing by pressing the button you normally use to click on something (as in, interact with things such as the summoning bell) and pressing the button twice. Once again, you should see the arrow appear after the first press and the second one will be you entering the instance.

This might help me as long as I remember to change into my black mage before I use any teleports while running crafting leves back and forth while I wait on the dungeon. Thanks for the tip.

Time to upgrade that wooden comp. 45+ second load times lol wtf.

I've checked my connection Alhanelem. I am getting my maximum internet speed and it's more than a few megabits. My PC is pretty old though, so that may be part of it. Though I've upgraded a lot of its hardware like the processor and video card and it was over the requirements to play the game. But it can still take over 45 seconds for me to teleport into Mor Dhana.

Post a speedtest.net results image here please.

My computer is high end, however my internet speed is not the best but my loading screens are only a few seconds even in busy areas. Honestly I barely think about or notice my loading screens. I have never had the problem with DF you have. I think something has to be seriously wrong with your PC to take over 45 seconds...have you kept all your graphic drivers up to date?

However, I have tabbed out of the game, just for a minute, and missed a pop. I wouldn't be against extending the amount of time you have to accept.

I just did a speed test for your Alhanelem. I got 7.49 Mbps. Which is what I pay for. So I don't think it's my connection.

I'm not going to post an image because I would have to get a URL for it. And it wouldn't really prove anything anyway because if you were to think I'm a liar nothing is stopping me from posting a fake picture as well. So you are just going to have to take my word for it.

It surpasses the requirements to play this game Onnslaught. My computer is not that bad.

I've spoken to other players who have similar problems loading. I'm not the only one.

Guy I know was complaining about how it was taking forever for an NPC to load today. I have that problem also.

In any case though - and rather you think my computer is just total crap or not - 45 seconds is just too short. Why must everything on this game have such a strict timer attached to it? I don't think giving us a little more time to hit accept would be a bad thing.

Drivers are up to date and I use a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460. I really do think internet speeds have something to do with this but I might be wrong. I might try calling my ISP sometime and see if I can get a trial run on a faster one and see if I notice a significant difference.

I am fairly certain that load times are affected not by internet speed but by your hard drive. Getting all of the info for everyone around you doesn't take very long, but loading all of the models into memory from your hard drive is where your long load times are probably coming from. What HDD do you have and how full is it?

My processor is a AMD Athlon (tm) II x2 250 Processor 3.00 GHZ. Not the greatest ever. But it's not that bad.

That's horrible in today's standards. It was already bad when it was released.
