[V17.1 - Starting the game] Huge lag starting the game from Desura

[Beanchilla]

Maybe this doesn't belong here, I am not sure to be honest.

When I start the game from Desura often the launcher won't come up. I'll wait around, bob around on the net and then 20 minutes later I'll have it come up. Sometimes a few if I have tried launching again between then and now.

It's really obnoxious but bearable. I'm just wondering if it's me, desura or the game.

I am assuming it is the game because I have no problem with the Battle of Wesnoth which I also play on Desura.

Anyway, let me know if you guys have experienced this.

I'm hoping it just goes away or gets fixed in a patch.

I have a bit of a pause between clicking the .exe and it going to the game menu, form my own PC. More 20 seconds than 20 minutes, but I can't imagine it's anything else than trawling through the large number of files. There are thread s where the devs are looking at such things, so expect some improvements.

Thanks for the heads up!

This was a major problem for me, not sure if it is desura or xenonauts.

Instead of launching, right click and select play

Try running directly from the xenonauts folder rather than through Desura and see if it makes a difference.

It should be located in desura/common/xenonauts.
