Re: why does the client verification take so long
Not one bit. However for ANY mod, Whether its Project Reality, BF:E, rocket powered, etc it only takes about 5-10 seconds...Originally posted by GunnerComment

I have 2 gigs of ram, 2*120 GB SATA RAID(Stripe) it takes seconds.Comment

Re: why does the client verification take so long
I have a gig and I just reformated.
Before the reformat, it took about 2-5 min to load the map and verify the client.
After the reformat, it takes about 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
My pc specs are in my sig... not exactly a "pwning box".Comment

Re: why does the client verification take so long
Its generally HDD dependant I think. I have 2x 74GB raptors and it doesn't take two long but I only have 1GB of RAM (OCZ PC4000) extreme low latency RAM so its not that great :\
Could mention other stuff then that would be bragging I guess :PComment

Before you spill forth your idocy, learn what the hell youre talking about.
Verifying Client has nothing to do with your connection. Its verifying
files on your system, comparing them to the server files, as well as doing
security checks, etc.. So, yes, it has everything to do with YOUR
systems memory capability, and yes hard drive speed would be a factor.
For the guy who posted above saying it only took a few seconds.. BS!
It takes longer to verify on most systems than it does actually loading
the content. Odd , I know... but then again, we are dealing with EA/DICE
here, and they have the worst programmers in the world.Comment

It take me 20 seconds at most. Maybe even less now that I've tweaked the system more.

Re: why does the client verification take so long
U320's will smoke a raptor Raid 0 setup, but the difference is not worth the money. Hi end SCSI setups are super expensive. Raptors are >80% the performance for much less $.Comment

Re: why does the client verification take so long
Hmmm, my setup is an AthlonXP 2000+, 9600xt, 1gig Geil Ram, 80g Seagate at 7200rpm; and it takes me about 15 seconds to load, 5-15 seconds to verify client data on a first load, and about 5 seconds after that.
Maybe people just haven't optimized their systems? Cause considering I'm on the low end of the hardware spectrum and I load just fine, it can't just be the HD's. (According to what I'm reading I'm loading in as fast as raptors?, and yes I did actually sit down with a stop watch...) But I keep mah' little compy. clean and well oiled (Dusting, Wiring, etc.).
Oh, and I run the game all medium, with High Tri.Filt. and 4xA.A.; 1024x768 on a 15inch LCD
...it's butter.

Instead of blaming our computers we could just blame Dice/Ea/Punkbuster.Comment

Re: why does the client verification take so long
Part of the problem that on why the verification takes so long to download (outside of your personal computer specs), is the fact that they check alot of **** that doesn't need to be checked in the first place. I am not going to go into details on what exactly (alot of it is very easy to figure out and i'm too lazy to list them all), but they could trim some of the fat off of the file checks if they really wanted to and shave probably 10-15% off the checking time.
For the guy who says let's blame EA-Dice-PB, this has nothing to do with PB, it is an EA-Dice thing

Re: why does the client verification take so long
Installed on a new clean rig - same processor, video, sound, HD, etc - just one more gig of ram and a clean OS - whole map load to running in game is under a minute. I used to be able to walk downstairs grab a drink, take a leak, have a smoke and then walk back up - and it would just be finishing.
2G ram and clean OS rocks the load time.
Only have a 2.66GHzComment

Why blame them. They GIVE this kinda' quality. It's what they do. It's kinda' their mission statement.Originally posted by Tahalee

...so, we can't blame a monkey for throwing poo. No more than we can blame EA for a.. well, this. So, let's just embrace what we have and have fun with it? ...and, HOW IN THE WORLD ARE WE GUNNA BLAME PUNKBUSTER!?
