AotI-PC/PS2: Online Characters

[Long-Awaited]

Whenever I step into a lobby/city, it takes forever for peoples characters to load (10 to 15 seconds). I get a green, red, or yellow kind of silhouette or rough model of them. Is there anyway to speed this up? I'm also playing AoI on PC.

its much worse on PS2 users...10-15 secs for chars to load ain't bad at all.

Why does it do that?

[KyEmo]

It doesn't load the models right away.

First priority to load the models is the people in your party, after those people are loaded it will load others.

[Long-Awaited]

Why does it take so long tho. >_>

[KyEmo]

Time varries

Either your comp just really cant handle the graphics (and are on very low settings) or you're on a really slow connection >_>

[Long-Awaited]

Yeah, everythings on low. >_> No slow connection tho.

Try upgrading your ram, video card (get PCIe instead of AGP if you can), and possibly buying a higher RPM harddrive if possible. Each of these steps will improve your situation a bit - but it seems like a lot of effort and money for minor annoyance. On the plus side, more ram and a better videocard will help the game play better overall. Though you'll probably just want to hold off on upgrading until you're ready to do a more thorough upgrade since the new components you buy for an older system will be out of date and need to be replaced when you do get a new system.
