Takes Forever For Players to Join

Recommended Posts

I'm hosting a lightly edited version of I&A on a dedicated server, although when players join it takes them what seems forever to be able to join.  Is there anyway I can reduce the time it takes for players to be able to join?  Many just get frustrated and leave. There seems to be a long delay before the mission files even begins to download. I can't see this being a port issue as they're eventually able to join. Any ideas?

 

 

Cheers

Rule out port issues or anything that allows them to connect because they are connecting eventually..

 

This could be a number of issues

 

Something wrong with the server configs/bandwidth settings

Something wrong with the mission

An issue with the network you are on

Does it take forever if you restart the server and join as the 1st player?  When you say long delay are we talking seconds or minutes?

 

You could also try copying the mission PBO to your MPMissions folder on your client, connect, see if the delay still happens (so you don't need to d/l the mission from the server)
