How long do you have to wait for "start"?

[Tucker Dale]

It takes ages for me until I can click "start". Mostly between 3-10 minutes, if I'm not bored and just leave. This can't be normal, or am I wrong ?

 

[Raf von Thorn]

Probably depends on your internet connection.

About 5-10 seconds maybe a bit less. Only time it takes forever is if it's not going to work full-stop (like when the servers are down lol). Might want to check your ports/router perhaps?

 

[JoeShmo]

About 2 seconds.


If the servers are having issues ( like a server restart or 30 min maintinence, etc. ) then it can fluctuate...or require me to close the game and launcher entirely to get it to show "start".

But in general, for every day gaming....its 2 sec.

 

[Tucker Dale]

This is strange, since every other 'internet application' works perfectly normal. Do you have any ideas how i can't test if anything is wrong?

Edit: 7 minutes later. Now i can connect again. This is strange. If i could't connect generally i would understand the problem.

5 secs (678)

 

[Arjin]

2 seconds for me

 

[EUS]

A second, but getting to that screen is a different story.

 

[Cmdr Eagleboy]

2 - 3 secs for me.

Thanks for the info. So the problem seems to be on my side. I made a ticket, maybe they can help me.

cheers

Varies from a few seconds, to half a minute or so.
