Map loading speed

falsfire1976

Is there any way to speed up the Foundry map loading speed? Elsewhere in the game the maps load fast for me, but Foundry missions take several minutes per map to load...

well, I forget who, but someone once told me that the first 40% of the loading is actually spawning the instance. For Foundry you ALWAYS spawn a new instance. Other missions are iffy.

Since Cryptic missions and social maps are almost always being played by someone, they can keep copies of the map constantly spooled up. However, with literally hundreds of thousands of Foundry mission maps in the database, it isn't practical to keep them on hand and ready. So Foundry maps have to be spooled up on the server on request which takes time.

Perhaps the spotlight missions should be spooled up, since they are Cryptic endorsed. AFter all, there aren't so many. Perhaps in can take the memory space from the PvEvP zones.
