teddy2046 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 We are 2 roomates, and we bought 2 legal copies, now we have to play the network game through STEAM, well, for downloading the game it was fast (1M/s), but when we started to play the game, the connection speed is sooooo horrible!!!! We are in the god damn same room, and our pc have to upload and download the data through the damn STEAM server. and We cant do the LAN connection due to Sigames new anti-pirate policy, you just deleted the network option! now we have to spend almost 1 hour for things we could get done in 5 minutes. the game freeze all the time, and it took me 5 minutes just to show up my players list, i should probably go to another room to see my roomates's screen, it could be faster, right? thats you sigame define the online game?? I have to bring it again, Sigame, you really think the anti-pirate policy is much more important than the experience of your customers? if that's so, then give my money back, because i don't wanna be your customer any more. oh btw, we have 20M fibre internet connection, and our PCS based on i7 4 cores cup and 12G ram, Video card 1G ram. and we have only opened 3 leagues. so don't tell me its our problem. If other users have same problem as we do, please support me, ask Sigames to give the network option back to us, or give our money back! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welshace Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 same here... instantaneous... try changing steam connection download region? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibby123 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 same here... instantaneous... try changing steam connection download region? This worked for me on actual download speeds, or was an improvement anyway, so might be worth a shout?? Something seems odd, because to add it's fine for me as well on network games and my broadband connection on anything makes carrier pigeon look instant messaging.

I wasn't trying to be rude here.. but it was just sooo frustrating. the connection to the steam seems ok when we download the game, so i have to doute that something wrong with the game program since its so slow when we are playing. if someone can help, we will really appreciate! otherwise, i think i am going to ask for a refund.

Welshace Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Certainly not anything wrong with the hardware from the specs and speedtest results... Can only suggest you get in touch with Steam to ask, as it's stable and pretty fast with me :/ Also, and this is only for info sake, a refund is highly unlikely, but give it a good try with your retailer. Hope you get it sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 It is always been the same with me. The host is fine, fast as ever... but anyone connected to the host (clients) have to wait for screens to load etc. It isn't just me that says this either, all of my mates that play network games say the same thing. If you're host, then you notice nothing, the game is fine. If you are a client, it is frustratingly slow at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
x42bn6 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 download 20.3M/s , upload 8.62M/s ..........What's the latency/ping of the connection like? That could be the issue.Steam's servers worldwide: http://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/ - if you're miles away from these, you are more or less between a rock and a hard place.

FrazT Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Since it appears that hardware is not the issue, it might be worthwhile posting a question in the FM Online forum Help thread and see if other online users can help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

polacote Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hi guys, got a question... What download region should I choose? I'm in South America and play by Steam and got a quite good connection. Do you really think that's the problem of why is it so slow?? When I play online with a friend of mine we can't even go through the select team menu.. Thanks!!!
