I have just bought the game yesterday, installed it last night whilst sleeping, came onto my pc to log in and play (ok it had to patch which i exspected) but wat i didnt exspect is the fact that it took about 4 hours to get 10.4%, ok its slow i understand, but about an hour later i came back again and it was 0.4% again :eek:
Im nt blaming anyone i just wandered if anyone had any ideas on how i can make it quicker or anythin that cud be effecting it (i know its one of those questions where you could answer 'Theres a thousand thing that could be wrong :rolleyes:) but anyone got an surgestions
PS im ok with computers but i dnt much bout the techincal stuff
Any help would be much appreciated

The game required ports 7000 - 7500 to be open. not blocked or filetered.
you can download Nettest and run it to check a sample of the ports range to see if there is some blocking.
Go to http://files.champions-online.com/nettest.exe
Download this file and run it
A command prompt should appear running the test automatically
For good connections , column 1 and 3 have values around 500 kb/sec (outgoing/incoming), column 2 has values around 20 kb/sec (transfer rate).
i have donloaded the test and ran it. the box has come up and has listed ports 80 and 443 twice, then it lsited port 7255 which u mentioned earleyer, it came up with 'Time Out' then its done it again and came with VERY low numbers all 3 columns are single digit numbers
'Port 7255: 3KB/sec 1KB/sec 7KB/sec 500'
, does this mean that the peoblem is likly my connection/setup?
Thanks
It could be your router , or your ISP. If you are on a university network it is likely the university is blocking .
if no working then next would be to shutdown the firewall anti virus. then try game. (some antivirus you may have to uninstall as it may still leave componets in memory blocking the game even if it is disabled.)
next would be to check your router/modem have ports 7000-7500 unblocked (open) you will have to check your router/modem help or manual on how to do that as it different for each model.
I will continue with the process of getting it to work tomarrow as it is getting late here in the UK
I must admit, its been a pain but i am very gratfull for the speedy replys and advice that i am receiveing, Give yourselves a pat on the back
Peace Out
