    no - means loading stops ( after about 1 minute with 15Mb connection ) - and then only some actions take place in 20 minute loops - not even sure it has something to do with TSO.

    Come on BB sort this out, it is getting silly. I never had a single issue logging in before you ''fixed'' the problem, now I sit looking at a 1/3rd completed load bar forever. It is beyond funny now; time to employ someone who can sort it please.

    same for me. staring at the loading screen. Please 'unfix' what you 'fixed' some days ago during maintenance. At least it was somewhat better before that day.

    Hello,

    Since the last update (18 JUN 2019) it's been extremely hard to log in, waiting times 20+ minutes. Since earlier today I can't log in at all using chrome. I could only by using the slim browser, but it took some 2 hours. When will this be fixed ?

    PHP Code:
    40mb     0m38s
    20mb     1m16s
    10mb     2m32s
    5mb      5m4s
    4mb      6m20s
    3mb      8m27s
    2mb     12m40s
    1mb     25m20s
    0.5mb   50m40s 
    Those are the rough expected load times with the current caching issues (with all assets that can be cached already cached). Anything over ~4 minutes can lead to a timeout (it never finishes loading).

    To have the best chance of getting the game to load:

    1) Stop all background downloads so settlers online can download at its fastest possible speed, this includes any kind of music or video streaming. You can safely resume them once the game has finished loading.

    2) Keep the loading page in focus, some browsers throttle background downloads which makes the matter worse if your connection speed is slower than 5mb.

    I hope this is sorted soon, its a shame if a lot of players are unable to participate in an event because the game does not even load. It's especially awkward if anyone with these loading issues tries to do some co-op adventures and ends up locking the adventure out for hours. I really wish the developers would add more information to the loading screen so you can clearly see when a timeout has occurred rather than leaving the players guessing.

    I think something was changed saturday 22nd - in the evening I could not load game in Vivaldi browser even using the usual work-arounds. After clearing cache I got it running.
    And now it seem to be stable in both Chromium and Vivaldi -
    First load FAILS - with 1 file loading - the other 3 loads 34.x or 35.x KB and then loading stop.
    Second load is OK - After reloading page all 4 files load and game start.

    still cannot log in using chrome, mozila or IE

    Since the last maintenance on 18 JUN I experienced very long loading times, then since Saturday I cannot load the game in any browser. I let the loading window in focus over 2 hours and nothing happened, it just showed the loading bar halfway through forever. I sent a ticket to bb and got back generic advice such as "clear chache", etc. I tried everything they suggested, nothing worked, so I replied to them that the problem is their own maintenance/ fix a few days ago. They have not replied yet. It is very frustrating to not be able to log into the game and get no reaction from bb.

    I have been trying to get in for the last, maybe, 1hr, refresh multi times and still hang randomly during loading.
    seems this this the bad time to get in. Writing here as a reminder for BB to know when is bad to get in.
