Rediculously long load times?


Aggelakis

Hello everyone, I've been dealing with this problem for a while now...
Whenever I load up CoH, it goes to the blue art screen, then I end up waiting about 5 to 10 minutes to the point where I can enter my information and log in. After this is smooth as butter... until i click "enter paragon city". I end up sitting at the blue screen staring at the bar for about 10 minutes, then it just takes me back to the Log in screen, where I end up re-entering all my information. Usually on the second try, I'm able to get into the game, but it still loads slower than an obese kids metabolism.
This is my second City of Heroes account, I regrettably sold my first. But when I did still have my first account, I could go from the updater to game in under 3 minutes. Now I have to wait upwards of 20 to 30 minutes, which is very frustrating.
I guess my primary question is... Why are my loads so slow?

Thank you for any help.

Go to the Tech Issues forum and take a look at the 'Posting Guidelines' sticky thread. In that thread are "HiJackThis" and "CoH Helper" links. Post those to a new thread in the Tech Issues forum, not here. More techies in the Tech forum than here.

I would guess that you don't have sufficient RAM, but without specs, it's a shot in the dark.

Link to Tech forum.

And I'd say Aggelakis has it right about lack of ram. I faintly remember a red name saying long ago that once that blue bar starts moving on the load screens, it's all your computer at that point, not the server.

That used to happen to me on my old laptop.

I bought another gig of ram, and I was then able to load in a few seconds.



Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.

I had that problem when i first started playing that the load screens and log in screens and going into the sg base would take long long times and i had to get more memory i think i went from one to three gigs. Solved that problem right away and i am by no means techy so i was glad it was something quick and easy to fix. Hope that helps.
