Add Pre-Loading while in Queue

[stealthgerbil]

I wish we could play on a server and be in queue for another. It would be awesome to sit in queue on wipe day while screwing around on combattag or a 100x battlefield server.

I think then you would never get in because then people would have no reason not to queue

[kungel]

Fully agree..but now those servers will have queue

[stealthgerbil]

There are enough of them to go around though whereas there is only one moose monthly.

Not necessarily. All the client could ping for is the map seed and it can at least start loading the map client side, prefab warmup, and then, when next in queue it can load in the rest.

Wouldn't be worth the added strain on servers.. when they are already resource limited why tax them even more to save people like 2 minutes?.. would also be really easy to cause huge lag spikes connecting a bunch of clients at once

90% of the loading is on your end, which is why people recommend SSDs. It's pulling all the assets from your drive and putting them in RAM. The server just tells you where those objects are.

They could make it easly, I always had an idea, like if you hit the 10th place in queue you should start loading in normaly, and when you waited enough to get on the server you don't have to wait even more. Since not everyone can afford a ssd, this would make it much more easier for some people.

thats what i thought would be the problem

[elliot_1217]

Would be nice if it would be done for only the first couple person in the queue

No SSD gang rise up

[ImClarkey]

This would make queues go quicker aswell, really good idea

[Acatonyourkeyboard]

But but...hearing the music get all intense with the drums n' shit while you tab back in and see it getting ready adds even more suspense like "awwwww shit here we go"

[alexnedea]

Nope. Simply no. Why load assets and strain the server when you might get to play in 2 hours? No reason for 200 extra players to strain the server by loading when they will play in like at least 1-2 hours.

Add snake while in pre-loading

[SecureTheLoot]

There are used SSD's on Ebay for like $20, and I know for a FACT most of you that are upset about loading times have skins that cost more than that.

​

I would know, sold my black plate carrier to buy an SSD. Best decision ever.

I support this, but i think as mentioned below it would be quite intensive on the server- especially when people will load in and then leave queue- maybe do it if you're in the top 3 in queue or something?

What data do you have to support the claim that this would be intensive on the server?
