load times slow with aurora?

I assume these systems aren't physically side-by-side. You can test your HDD speed with www.hdtune.com or CrystalDiskMark.

Have you checked your network connection speed? You should have 100 or 1000 mbps connection (depending on your router/switch model). You may only appear to be last because of the slow comm.

Also, check your speed and ping at http://www.speedtest.net .

With that net connection ( and your Beast Aurora )  Your probably getting host most times  :)

read test showing minimum of about 78 and max about 120 but from the start to finish it was steadily dropping the whole time...

cant do the write test because it says i have a partition

my speedtest is showing 45 mbps down and 5 mbps up...downloading hd tune pro now to run some benchmarks..

Also, i didnt know about the load screen with hosts.  I guess its a little misleading but i really seem to be loading slower than other people. Maybe I'm host everytime cuz i have a good system and internet? lol lets hope..

hey parksxps1124 ,   Usually what i have found with starcraft 2 when ur playing with 4 or 6  players if you get host  of these games it will say you are loading till every other person is loaded.  You'll notice this is happening when there is  people with slow computers the game wont start till they are loaded. ( when ur host it will say your still loading but uve actually finished)  Hope that helped, Thats my understanding of how the starcraft 2 load screens work.

*edit* My Aurora loads the single player skirmishes real fast  (try testing that) and  multi is as i stated above

.

HDTune speed sounds fine.

Speedtest sounds fine. You didn't mention your ping.

Be sure to check your network card in control panel and make sure you are connecting to router/switch at 100 or 1000 (not 10). 

i think my ms was 35?

I can solve this issue loading times can be changed and the computer can boot faster so here we go.

if you are running windows xp service pack 3 here is what you do.

1. go to control panel by selecting start menu then control panel.

2. go to system double click

3. go to advance tab

4. click the advance button for virtual memory

5. on the first tab tell it to adjust for best performance (see what users in windows xp vista and even windows 7 dont understand is the fanct start bar the green and blue one in xp and the black one in vista and windows 7 takes 256 megs of physical memory from your machine just to run the stupid theme)

5. then select the virtual memory section so that it reads the following.

if you have 1 gig of ram set it to this.

1000 minimum (if you have 2 gigs or 4 gigs of ram this setting increases to 2000 minimum and then 4000 maximum

3000 maximum

if you have 6 gigs or better dont worry about the virtual memory part because it wont freaking matter.

click set then your done restart your computer.

now for vista all you need to do is tell it adjust for best performance

1, go to start menu click control panel

2. go to system double click

3. select from the left side of the window advance system settings

select settings from the performance box

then tell it best performance

then thats it

no need for virtual memory in vista or windows 7

this will help speed the machine up greatly.

now for the tough and sad part there is nothing you can do for star craft II right now to many users online at once have slowed down the servers a lot just wait for more servers to come online and a update patch for loading time.
