Very often when I wait at a portal it literally does nothing. I think I’m probably right in assuming that this is something that I’ve set up badly in my settings, and just wondered what the optimum way to set it up would be.
I have a fairly decent ping of around 9-12ms, no dips, 60-65Mb downstream, around 15-18Mb upstream.
In the Network Settings I have:
Chunk Download Rate - MAX
Chunk Cache Size - 8GB
Pause Inputs on Lost Connection - OFF
Connection Indicator - SHOW DURING BAD CONNECTION
I only ever really get the bad connection thing when I’m on a US server, and even then only briefly.
I’ve looked around and couldn’t find anything definitive on this.
Anyway … I’m on a UK IP, and a UK DNS, but I can change the DNS, I’m not mad enough to VPN for the game.
I think a HUGE thing is that I have zero idea what CHUNK means.
The Pedantic Society’s Gathering Place is over there!
( in fairness to my ADHD I’d got distracted and meant to refer to the speed, but that sounds like political wrangling … either way … I made that gravest of errors … a grandma and splolling mstaek online. )
Anyway, it just stays at a certain (usually quite low) percentage of the loading bar and then waits for about a bazillion years before going … OH YOU’RE STILL HERE!!! OK THEN!
Yeah, I got you. I was just goofing around; didn’t intend to insult or annoy. Pendantic tho, that’s a new one for me. Never been called that one before, but like most of my monikers… I suppose I earned it! Thanks!
