View Full Version : How long will I be "loading furniture items"?

This is the e-mail I just sent to VMK, but I'm hoping that someone here may have an idea of how to fix this:

When I first sign into the game each time, I get a pop-up message that says "loading furniture items." After this loads, I can enter the game. I get this bar *every single time* I load the game.

The first time I enter the Haunted Mansion Lobby each session I get the pop-up message that says "Loading Additional Items."

The first time time I enter each Fantasyland Dark Ride each session I get the pop-up message that says "Loading Additional Items." I get this message once per ride per session.

I also see a lot of "blue placeholder boxes" when entering new rooms. I read in an update that these blue boxes would be used when you enter a room that contains furniture that you have not previously seen, so as to speed loading of the room. However, I see these boxes the first time I enter some of my *own* rooms each session.

If I am disconnected and have to log back onto the game, I once again get the "Loading Furniture Items" and "Loading Additional Items" boxes upon entering the Kingdom, entering the Haunted Mansion lobby, entering both Fantasyland Dark Rides and entering some of my own rooms.

I have a feeling all this means that my computer is not saving the new item and furniture data that is being downloaded, because I can't imagine that someone who visits pretty much daily like I do could *still* need to download things that were added to the game months ago. Is there a setting I should check to make sure that my computer is accepting these downloads? If this isn't the problem, can you help troubleshoot?

Thanks,
WickedAVP

It might have to do with your browser automatically deleting saved internet files. I'm not sure if it is that or even how to fix it if it is.

Join the crowd.

I'm afraid this is the way it's been working for many, if not most of us. The assumption that items would never have to be "loaded" again after the first time has not panned out, even when we don't delete our temporary internet files. (And never emptying those files is a bad idea, anyway, if we don't want our computers to get bogged down.)

I get so jealous when I see staff ride-a-thon rooms that have the luxury of a "loading furniture" bar, so they don't get blue boxes popping up all over the place. Sure wish we could have that for our own rides.....

I keep forgetting to bump this poll up, but I guess it's time to again:

What do you think of the new loading system? (http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109938&highlight=loading+system)

Please add your two cents about how this is working for you.

I have the exact same problem as you. If they answer please, please let me know too! Many of the host game rooms do not load before I am out the door and I never get to see them :(
