Cos I'm an impatient person lol, I was just wondering about a few things, regarding how long they take. Firstly, when you go to open the game, why does it have to stay on the small red icon screen that says "Raceroom" for so long, before it actually goes into the pre-game loading screens? And related to this, kinda, in Task Manager, while it's on this screen, for some reason, it shows Raceroom is "Not Responding", even though it eventually does load into the game after waiting long enough. And secondly, apart from the VERY rare occasion it actually loads pretty quickly, why does it take sooo long to load into races after selecting your car and track etc.?
While on the splash screen, the game exchanges some data with the main server. For whatever reason it can be slow and looks like the farther you are from the server, the longer it takes. Plus if there are any connection issues, some instability in the data stream, it can take more time on top of that. I guess the data that's being sent it very time-sensitive. Same thing with loading into a driving session, the game exchanges data about the track and all cars and liveries in your session, the more you selected the longer it will take.
