Long Loading Times in Multiplayer

[Saphi]

Hello there,

 

i like this game, its fun in multiplayer, but there is one problem: A friend is hosting the game and if I jump to a system with more then a few asteroids there is a long loading time up to 5 minutes or longer.

 

My ship jumps and the Camera remains in the old system, while my ship is spawned and attackable in the new system (says my friend).

 

In this case (long loading times), the ship should not spawn in the target system until the client of it have all the data and is ready to spawn.

 

Maybe there can something like a jump Animation until this happend?

The reason for this is probably a slow up-stream on your friend's internet connection. We're working on compressing data so the loading screens and lags get better.

thats sounds logic.

 

But I think the point I mentioned "the ship should not spawn in the target system until the client of it have all the data and is ready to spawn." is a good solution to fix many problems, like the ship crashing into something or beeing attacked.

In future update(s) there already will be a function that will protect player from getting damaged/killed while loading

It really have to be fixed, i play with a friend since yesterday and i don't count of many time my ship have been detroy because ship is in the middle of a battle and i'm still in the loading.

 

Please fixe that as soon as you can because it is very anoying to fly to a big distant and die without having the possibility to do anything.

I don't need a short loading but i have my ship top be protected or not in the sector before me.

Thanks
