    I didn't find anything about this in the search. I am waiting up to 10 or so minutes before I am logged on each and every time I try to log on to the game. When I go to another zone/scene the same thing happens. Load times are very very slow for me. I am on the live server. I have high speed.

    Are you using a computer that meets the Minimum System Requirements? https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/forum/index.php?threads/minimum-system-requirements.55790/

    What CPU and video card are you using and how much RAM do you have?

    Also make SURE that you have a SSD hard drive. That will help with the loading times greatly.

    Load times are generally CPU and hard drive bound. The biggest change I was able to make was to move Windows and SotA to a SSD, which is much faster than a normal hard drive. (Unfortunately, my SSD crashed so I'm back to a normal drive now...)

    You may also check to make sure you have a good amount of free space for a Windows swap file, and are not capping out your CPU or available memory while SotA is running.

    To actually troubleshoot, we are going to need to know your computer specs.

    I recently replaced to an ISP with 1000MB/s. My standalone client patching speed previously was around 600KB/s and now it goes up around 5MB/s. I got around 30MB/s - 50MB/s while patching other steam game.

    I also have SSD hard disk, i5 CPU and 32GB RAM. But I still get a long loading screen and the speed of loading decoration within a large lot is still as slow as before.
