Hi all, This is not yet a bug report, I only want to expose and discuss a problem I encounter very often. It seems that the Sharegame system is really uneasy with slow internet connections. I was abroad a few days ago, and I had no trouble to join / download / upload a Sharegame initially started a while ago by one of my friends. My internet connection was pretty fast at that time, constantly downloading AND uploading at 10mbps. I could join or host any...

Yes your current internet connection looks like the one I had previously. But having a slow connection cannot be such an obstacle to play a game as client. Encountering so much problems instead of just having a long loading time seems abnormal to me. Is there anything I can do to mitigate this issue and be able to play, let's say one over five times instead of one over ten ?

I'm not really interested in playing alone, I feel bored really quickly, no matter what game it's about. Usually ? When I was abroad with a 10mbps download speed, it was around like 30s or 1mn for the very worst case. Now I'm here, when the loading can be completed it usually takes around 4mn. But most of the time the loading just fail after a time seemingly random. From 30s to sometimes 3mn.

Here you can see the result given by Speedtest on the nearest server available when my friend is hosting the game. He has a very good internet connection (optic fiber) and a hardware even better than mine. As you can see, it is consistent with what I said in my first post. Low latency, but low speed too. And it seems not to be fast enough for Ylands to run properly, at least in simple client mode. Yes, by "timeout" I mean the connection being dropped...

Thanks for your answers, This is not at all a hardware problem. When I was abroad I was playing on a decent laptop, and all was fine. Now that I'm here, I play on my main computer, which is a gamer desktop PC, waaaayy more powerful than the laptop. However I experience the same type of problems playing on the desktop or laptop. I assume that my problem has nothing to do with high definition graphics. Yes I'm aware that hosting a game is more...
