Normandy takes forever to load

Post by Onebad » Tue Aug 28, 2018 4:25 pm

After having loads of trouble connecting to Burning Skies WW2 server as of recently, I decided to give it a go and play some SP warbirds. It looks like, unlike any other maps I have, Normandy takes an enormous amount of time to load up, which I think is the issue behind me not being able to join MP servers running it. I have no trouble loading other maps, but since the last few updated Normandy just pretty much doesn't work for me. In single player it takes 10min+ to load, which means that in MP my connection will time out for sure by the time im in.

Any ideas?

Yeah. Still, it's only an issue with this one particular map. Other ones run fine even when full of assets and all that.

I did one not that long ago. Will give it another go but I'm not expecting miracles.
