LABS Raid starting well into a round

[Player_D]

Hi

Not certain how many others feel the same way, but i have had quite a few cases where i spawn into a LABS raid and game is already 2.5 minutes in.

As its such a small map, 2.5 minutes is enough time for players to have completely relocated to almost the other side of the map.

If you spawn into this game you have no idea what switches have been pushed, what doors have been opened or if any others players have moved into your area and are camping a door or a corner.

You are at a HUGE disadvantage to an already very difficult map.

Can it be fixed that its only possible to join a new queue for labs rather than a game that has already started to spawn in?

I dont support this request if i have to wait 5minutes until the last potato computer has loaded or players are found in low density times.

I even think it is part of the fun to have the unknown to explore.

It happens to me maybe every 5th to 10th raid to spawn 2Min late.

Not really an Issue in my opinion.

Exactly. Game has minimum system requirements for a reason.

Meet them (+have eft on an ssd) and youll be fine. Others shouldnt wait because of your inferior PC.

I dont think this is a slow PC Issue, not im my case anyway (without flopping my dick and pc specs out), this to me was a queue that had enough people to start the round, and once the round had started there is presumably still a time frame in which players can queue and join the game.

At this stage i get 1 LABS run a day, possibly 2 if i stay on long enough for the night.

To spend 110k on a card and join this game where all the chess pieces have already moved is pretty off putting.

@Tr4wnet

This doesnt happen every game, most of the time i can join a game with the countdown

The rate lab keycards are being sold on the flea market I would expect there to be tonnes of new rounds starting.

Perhaps the problem is just technical or region based instead?

Easy Fix: When you start your game load the map(s) in offline mode, then you will be able to join quicker therefore no late raids, but if you still get late raids after doing this sorry but you need to upgrade the potato.

We shouldn’t go down the immediate easy answer route of upgrade pc.

I and others have some very fast machines and they still sometimes spawn a few minutes late too 🙂

It's because you're spawning into a server that's not full and in the perfect time slot.  I find that any decent PC with an SSD or an HDD will load up EFT just as fast as one another as my friend and I have similar builds, but his client is on a HDD and mine is on a SSD and we load the game at the same speeds.

Thank you for not jumping to conclusions about potato PC. Willing to bet i am in the top 5% for performance on this game.

As Adhesive says its the empty server and the game allowing people to join in after the map has already started.

SSD is Adata  R3500/W3000 Not the very top but not ducking far so pretty evident this is a server side delay
