Loading between maps

kingshadow

I'm experiencing slow map loading whilst traveling between maps and channels... it's a real pain if im in a party and holding the group up for 5-10minutes while my maps load.. any suggestion why this happens?
1. Graphics
or
2. Internet speed / Location ?

cant think of any other reasons but please reply asap <3

P.S. Dungeon maps load quickly taking 10-20seconds max but thats still pritty slow since i been told by somebody that their maps load in a few seconds... again ty

My maps load withing a good 5-10seconds tops. This seems like either your connection speed or your graphics card/ram.
This also depends on what other programs your running in the background. Those hidden ones you can't see unless you open your task manager and click the processes tab are a big cause for most of this. Check the amount of memory they use.

You are correct, those are the two reasons that could factor in why your maps load slowly. Please try to defrag your system.

It could also be your internet speed, who is your current ISP and what is the speed? Where are you located?

Finally, CBT ended yesterday and OBT will be launched in late April. However OBT will be released a day earlier for every 1000 likes on Facebook, it is currently at 4,600+ likes that means OBT will be launched 4 days earlier than intended! Share and tell your friends about Spirit Tales!

We hope to see you in Open Beta, kingshadow.

Cashen is right. It should only take 5-10 seconds to load a map. I have a newer basic "box" computer and this game loads with no problems. I only have 3Gb of ram, dual processor and a integrated GPU. But i do have a 30mb internet connection.

List your system specs so that it would make it easier for people to assist you in their replies.

There could be several issues:
-Not enough ram.
-Older slower processor.
-Slow internet connection.
-Running too many programs in the background that take up what little ram you may have.
-AV software that hogs your system resources.

And a few other issues that could make playing/loading a hassle.

I defrag my PC once a week. I'll list a few things I use all the time to keep my PC running smooth.
-Smart Defrag for defragging once a week.
-CCleaner or SlimCleaner for removing junk files and registry errors.
-Revo Uninstaller for completely removing programs from your PC. A lot games/programs leave leftover folders/registry/junk when they uninstall. This program cleans it all up as it uninstalls programs.

I tend to test or try a lot of games. These 4 programs help me keep my moderate PC running smooth for games.

It should only take 10 seconds for the countdown and then maybe 3-5 seconds to load the new channel. Does it take you any longer than 5-10 seconds to load maps and dungeons?
