Satirik: perhaps you should take a look at the SpringLobby source for ideas on how to shorten loadtimes on startup.

No joke - TASClient took about 5 minutes to load for me (even after a totally new spring install to a new dir). SpringLobby takes roughly 15 seconds. It rocks.

5 Minutes?!

Wow. On my computer it takes about... 15 seconds. And I have a bunch of maps and mods and junk in my Spring install.

5min is not normal except if it's the first time when it makes the minimap and map caching ... and the loading time is because it loads all the map so you can browse them using the "map list form" ... feature that spring lobby does not have

if it's not the first time, what step is it doing ? initialising unitsinc ? loading maps ? nothing ? freezing ?

Yeah that part worked fine. Maybe the box is too small to show the subsequent entries?

It freezes after reaching the normal window where you'd go to connect. The actual loading part takes a fairly reasonable amount of time. The issue comes after the loading screen goes away and it's just sitting there waiting for me to hit connect - but I can't, because suddenly my computer is bogged way way down. Thus, springlobby ftw.

See how much TASClient is using. Before I did a totally clean reinstall it was 800mb.

I get this error when I try to click okay for the get user names by IP message box. The first few times it doesn't do anything. Also, that function is really slow to display the names.

Now you just have to click okay 10 times to get the box to close (but no error), and the function is much slower than the results are reported in $local.
