Solved

race downloading data every race.

guys, some days ago my chrome (win7) started to download all data, everytime i enter a race (to race or spectate).
usually i was just the first time, then the next race it was really fast joining the race because it did download all the 27204079.

i did ctrl+f5 and tried entering twice but the second did load all data agaaaain :/

it is chrome? where should i clean :)

it's just me? :P

Clear your cache and then spectate a race to see how fast it loads.

i did before posting lol many times :P

is working ok on firefox but chrome downloads everything, everytime i spectate or go to race.

Oh wow, I've never played it in Firefox and it loads unbelievably quick.

I'd guess it's just Chrome. Firefox probably has much better support for WebGL.

Hacked :P
Stop using Firefox ESD that runs the livery plugin & upgrade to version 54 using it straight out of the box, with webgl draft extensions enabled
Stop using that extension in Chrome that is there to run the livery plugin & just use version 60 straight out of the box with webgl draft extensions enabled.

Should only be downloading the first time, then flying through every other time unless the cache has been deleted or changed.

Also facing this problem on Chrome, but not Firefox.

yes, i'm using firefox just for IGP :/ now. couldnt find whats wrong

I see no issues slow very first time, when I say slow I talking 2-3 minutes max. Then the next time it flies through it as if the downloading part isn't there.

I still have the slow loading times in Chrome. Even if I do one after another.

Is this going to be fixed? I consider it a teething problem that should be resolved ASAP. I still have Chrome downloading data from scratch every time I open the live viewer.

Chrome Version 60.0.3112.113 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Hahaha. I using the BETA viewer not the stable one. I will try it in tonights race.

No change.
Do yous have any extensions that might be slowing it down?

I'll have to try and see.

The race tonight using chrome Loading was fine but the race it's self was very laggy. Hop, skip and jump every lap.

I tried without extensions and didn't make any difference.

I spoke to Jack about it a few days ago, and it loading taking longer in Chrome isn't meant to happen.

Can confirm.

Also playing on Android and it loads nice.

I presume Chrome is getting too advanced for the game? Haven't tried on Firefox BTW.

Chrome version 60 full of lag always
Firefox version 55 using S & K causes lag & DRS lag (cars teleport from one end of DRS zone to the other)
Opera version 47 DRS lag (cars teleport from one end of DRS zone to the other)
