krj12 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) I remember seeing a post about this weeks ago, maybe on reddit.... Is there any plan on speeding up the character list? It currently takes 2-3 minutes to bring up my characters ( on Excelsior ). I don't remember it being like this on live, Could it be something as simple as adding an index on a table? Seems like this could be a major turnoff for new players checking the game out. Edited October 13, 2019 by krj12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Do you use Windows 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Cure Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Win7 here. It doesnt take 2-3 mins for me, but its a good 15-30 on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmySky Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 In on Windows 10 and since Friday its been slow pulling up character list. Normally its maybe 5 seconds at most but this weekend its up to and sometimes beyond 30 seconds. I think server load has to have something to do with it since I havent had this issue in over a month since I updated my windows and graphics.

Since Windows 7 is EOL in two and a half months anyway, I doubt it's on their priority list of issues to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krj12 Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Hmm, there are a lot of people still on windows 7, and considering the overall crappiness of win10, probably wont upgrade. I know I wont until forced to when I buy a new system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erydanus Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) The slow Win 7 reading of the character list started around the time the queue code was added. If I'm waiting on the character list to load and I try to back out it actually says "do you want to lose your place in the queue" still. Actually before I took a break for the summer one of the devs had found that mention noteworthy and was going to follow up with a couple of us who were discussing this in another thread after checking into something, but I never got a ping about it. Yes, W7 is EOL but I'm not planning to upgrade my gaming machine to Win 10. Ah, and I found the original/main thread on this topic: Edited October 22, 2019 by Erydanus See me on Excelsior as Eridanus - Whisperkill - Kid Physics - Ranger Wilde - The Hometown Scrapper - Firewatch - and more!

ShardWarrior Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I had the same issue on my older laptop. Running the free upgrade to Windows 10 (which still works) fixed this for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know that. That's why I was confirming what was said previously in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
