Hi I am in South Africa and 9 out of 10 games of mine doesnt load. I join a game, ready up and the the loading begins. I leave it for 5 mins hoping it will go in to the game but it doesnt. 9 out of 10 games is like this. We need to be able to reconnect to the game and make the loading better regrading the network traffic. fyi: its not my pc because i just got a 2011 chip set with good ghx as well.
Actually there is reconnect option. Just try to close game window, then run it again, login and it's let you reconnect. Probably it just need to be improved a bit to be more user-friendly.
When you join a game check to see how many planets they have, more than 3-4 and most games tend not to load.
