Transferring a tiny file takes longer than actually playing the game. Everyone has to go one at a time. Stop packet checking for rootkits and clowns and bump the speed to above 0.06 kb/s please.

:play_button: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Restore a game

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

Something that loads faster than comcast downloaded a 20kb image back in 2003.

after years of experience in restoring game, player who join late and are not downloading due to downloads already started for others, can rejoin the game. if rejoin fast enough they can start downloading.

other than that, for love of god remove checking every single packet and allow minimum 1mbps download for godsake

also, allow restoring even if missing players thanks
