How long do you need?

No Interleaving · 09-21-2007, 10:04 PM

Hello there,

i have a simple question for you:
How long is your loading process for ff_well? (listen server)

Write it down (pls, only frist load if you have windows started):

Code:

CPU:
RAM:
Time in seconds:

CPU: AMD 185 Opteron
RAM: DRR 1 GB
time: 43 sec.

CPU: AMD Athlon64 3700+ (San Diego)
RAM: DRR 1 GB
time: 1 minute, 15 sec.

Too long.

lukin · 09-21-2007, 10:31 PM

yes...the loads are too long...maybe my computer isn't too good, but 40 seconds with 1gb mram is so much

a join for dust2 on Counter-Strike: Source needs 7 sec.
I have no Dual Channel, and my system is not defragmented...

You're comparing a client join to starting a listen server?

Gravy · 09-22-2007, 12:52 AM

Yeah I have to agree with Infidel, you gotta compare the same thing. Creating a server is not the same as simply joining one. Plus Dust 2 isn't exactly an amazingly complex map.

NewKleer · 09-22-2007, 01:03 AM

E6750 @ 3.2gh
2GB RAM
44s, and thats on a fresh load.
8s, once game has loaded once

but by far the biggest impact will be HDD type/speed which you didnt mention. ive got WD2500KS x 2 in raid0. Generally i load up internet games first or close to it

tu! · 09-22-2007, 01:49 AM

15-20 secs TOPS ON ALL MAPS...i don't see the big deal, you only connect once!

that's right, but a join on a ff server is really long i think...
there are no difference for my pc listen server or game join in ff

you need DDR2 when will start a game faster...

@ NewKleer, what's type of Ram do you have?

PsYcNeT · 09-22-2007, 06:42 AM

CPU: Core 2 Duo e6600 OC'D @ 3.2 GHz
RAM: 2 GB Pc-8000 OCZ Platinum OC'D/Overvolted
Time: ~8-12 seconds

NewKleer · 09-22-2007, 07:42 AM

ballistix pc5300 @ ddr2-960 4-4-4-4 (2.4x mem multi)

and i suspect all these people reporting < 15s are not a first time load of FF/map, and hence helped a lot by filecache (as seen by my 44s vs 8s difference between first/second load)

i have nothing said about the second load, only the first load is relevant

NewKleer · 09-22-2007, 07:59 AM

indeed, but i dont think that everyone in here has been posting first load (which would have to be done after reboot to removing all file caching effects). i think ive only ever seen 2 people load a map quicker than me (ive probably played about 50 maps), so to have people saying it only takes them 10s doesnt sound right

you are right, here are fakers

Code:

CPU: AMD Athlon64 3700+ (San Diego)
RAM: DRR 1 GB
time: 1 minute, 15 sec. first
time: 18,7 sec. second load

CaptScum · 09-22-2007, 08:43 AM

CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 (4x 2.4Ghz, 8MB Cache)
RAM: 4GB DDR2 667 RAM
Time: ~6-10 seconds (maybe less)

EDIT: also, am i the only one who frequently gets the 'scores not working' bug on mapchanges regularly? (at least 1 or 2 times/day)

caesium · 09-22-2007, 11:03 AM

18 seconds to create a listen server for first time after reboot (but as ppl have said that doesn't really represent anything).

Joining servers takes between 10 and 15 seconds max (depending on the map). Perfectly acceptable imo. Having gfx settings very low makes load times much faster btw for anyone bitching.

CPU: Athlon64 x2 4200+ 2mb
RAM: 2GB 3200
Chipset: nForce4

-----

CaptScum, the no death msgs and scores not working is a bug that effects everyone. From what I've found the chances of it happening can be greatly reduced by having mp_prematch 0 (if you've had it anything other than 0 since the server started, restart it).

AMD 64 6000+ X2
2GB DDR2

bout 15 secs

92 (1:32) sec @ Centrino 1.3GHz laptop; 1.5GB PC2700 ram; 4200rpm harddisk; XP Prof. I win! (higher = better)
