Spring RTS Engine

Using TAS Client and my lobby freezes for about 30 seconds every time i try to join a battle room, then once i have joined a get a large message spam and im in. Not only this but when everyone has readied up and the game starts my lobby is delayed 30-60 seconds before actually trying to load the game so i end up getting the shittiest position every game, this used to happen everytime but since the new updates, it sometimes works normally. Its a pretty annoying problem and I haven't a clue why it actually happens.

do you have a ton of maps/mods?

Happened to me also some time ago, don't know what the problem is.

I guessed back then it was somehow related to the size/contents of maps/mods. (I had a bad/incomplete map and it gave errors)

You could try to 'clean' all the maps/mods dir (except the ones you play of course ) and check if this happens.....

The other option is to use a debugger if you know how .

check unitsync.log

Yeah i pretty much have every map/mod ive downloaded since 2005... plus i know i have alot of older versions of mods so that probably doesnt help either. Anyway thanks for the help.

P.S Also just got this wierd C++ runtime error or something which spammed me about 20 times

I'd be really interested how current SpringLobby fares with this huge amount of content. Would you mind trying it out even if you don't plan to use it regularly?
