I like the idea of just having the server wait at the end of the map loading, assuming that the server at that point actually knows whether players have loaded (I'm not sure if that is the case, but I think it can be made to be that way). We could have it wait for all players to load up to a configured timeout value.

Just a little tweak to have the map have a minimum load time would be great. An extra 5 seconds would be enough for me (and most?), then people without TT are not given an advantage etc.

Naturally the people who load for like 30 seconds will still have to join late.

I remember the 1.037 days where some players would still be loading several minutes into the map.... was quite amusing to see their reactions when they discovered that whilst they had been loading their team had lost the refinery to an early engi rush Razz

Happened a lot on Canyon as I recall...

At the time I had quite a fast computer so I was often one of the first to load on any given map... sometimes my client would finish loading before the server did...

Actually... why don't we just introduce a delay into the server map loading such that it sits at 99% (thus making all clients go into 'gameplay pending' when they finish loading, as it used to in the good old days) until 90% of players (or some other metric) have finished loading? Easy fix.

Better fix that BI uses since like forever: compensate the credits you didn't get while loading. So if you're loading for 10 secs you get 2,5*10=25 credits. If you're loading for 30 secs you get 2,5*30=75 credits.

Or you guys can just stop bitching about it ;p

Besides it doesn't matter who loads first or who has the biggest e dick.

It matters what skills you have, bitching about waiting, to me is someone that doesn't have skill to pick up where the fast loaders started.

What would be better is like wolf et where it doesn't start the game until 5 secs after x amount of players join.

Having the game start at the same time for every player is crucial even when playing in public servers.

You are obviously an idiot and don't know what you're talking about at all. Every second is crucial in the beginning of clan matches and comm matches, especially the first 3 minutes of it.

Okay jackass, see your way out of this thread. You need to go back to playing in build servers.

I wouldn't be this mean if you didn't make an ass out of yourself.

I don't play Build Servers sir!

That is WHY I have an AOW Serv, Read the Sig fool...

And WOW I didn't think you guys would get so mad 0_o considering it's a 10+ year old game ;p, "Still one of the best".

I would expect people getting mad in a newer game about loading...

And if anything just use IRANs plugin for !ready and stop bitching.

Recruit

ive noticed this to

sometimes when im using my test server it takes quite long to load the map but most of the times it loads fast

it could be that the game chokes on something during the load and it happens more often for some players
