How can i get ingame quicker?

[ChaosMonkey]

I am always having to go front or whatever shitty position other ppl dont want so pls tell me how i can make it get in-game quicker! is there any ways to speed it up??

Maybe only allow selecting a spot when all are in.
If its doable and someone would want to make a gadget or an engine patch or whatever.

Buy a faster computer.

Make sure you play on the same map you played before with the same mod. This way you wouldn't have to repath and will get ingame faster. Ofc people with better computers will still be able to get there first...

start and quit spring on that map before lobby game start to prime disk caches and make room in ram. otherwise, get a faster box.

If you're using TAS Client open up your options and go to the 'interface' tab. Make sure "Load units icons and names when joining (slower)" option is unchecked and Apply.

I would've thought there would be a way to set Spring.exe as a priority for some of your PC's hardware but I'm no hardware expert so I'd just go with "Buy a new PC"

buy a new pc so you can pick the back spot in DSD and tech to krog go go

Wait, front is a shitty position?

That doesnt seem right. Spring should load faster if all that is already cached.

no

front = the best position , any good player would want to be there

guess what this tells us.

Depends on map. If front means fewer mexes, then yes its bad usually.

Even better, !setoptions shuffle=box (shuffle commanders within team's box) ftwwww!! Porcer places his start position at the back but he gets switched with you after the countdown.

lol and the superb-air-player has to be the front-swine and the one-man-army-player should tech?

[ChaosMonkey]

thats stupid manolo nobody likes doing the same thing all the time and for the ppl who tech all the time they need to learn to play properly anyway

Not a good idea since it means increased risk for "GTFO, I was there first" type fights.

I'd say get a faster PC. If you only want to get ingame as fast as possible, the fastest single core machine u can find. But if you want to win the game too, get a quad.
