Hi, First I should tell you that I'm german - so my english won't be the best. Maybe you can excuse this.
I'm playing STO with a friend. Each made one Character to play only together. Everytime we meet, we build a team doing the same missions / quests.
But everytime we change the Map, for example warp to another sector, join or leave a system I have to wait till twice time.
You should know, that EVERY single Part in my PC is newer / faster than my Friends PC parts.
Things like CPU, Ram, Graphic-card ... also HDD ...
We are both using Windows XP (Updates up to date) and are connected to the same Router. Each using newest Versions of Direct X, VGA-drivers, Chipset-drivers and same Virustool (no Firewall except the Windows XP included one).
Framerate, game performance and graphic quality is much better on my System because of the Hardware. HDD is almost inactive while Loading screen. Don't think the Problem can be there. I reinstalled the Game directly to the fastest HDD i have ... no change.
Just everytime we have to load because changed a System or anything else, my PC is loading from HDD 2-3 Seconds and than seems to do nothing and waiting 10-20 Seconds - no idea what for.
Thanks to any Ideas / answers

hopefully
