Very slow browsing in Utopia

Hi, I'm having this problem where I have very long loading times in between screens when I browse through the game. When my province was in protection everything was fine, but as soon as I came oop everything because really slow (7-9 seconds loading time in between screens).

Is this something everyone is experiencing ? And can I do something about it ?
I am running Windows Vista as OS. Any help or info would be really appreciated.

(Sry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I rly need feedback on this)

I know ppl cant log in right now, thats kinda a different issue which needs to be resolved by Omac.
Vista sucks indeed, was just hoping maybe someone knew any Internet settings I might adjust to make things go smoother.

im hoping you are using something other than IE =P

other than that, there isnt alot you can do... i do suggest firefox though, it has a number of extensions that make uto life much nicer

fortunately they can be found here: http://thedragonportal.net/ metatron, pimp agent and ad-block plus

I tried to explain it in the Bug thread, then a bunch of "wanna be 1337" tried to tell me I was wrong and took the conversation off in left field so OMAC has no clue wtf I was trying to say now.

When I use my friends computer (vista and faster internet then my own) utopia is still damn slow

It's the ads. In certain parts of the world, you get ads that load slowly. You won't see the entire page until you have all the ads. Ya it sucks, shutdown javascript and things go silky smooth. Or pay for "no ads".

Get an add-blocker :D

I've had a netbook on GPRS loading Utopia way faster then a Intel i7 machine with all the works on vista and IE8 on a 50mb/s cable connection.

Biggest difference? I got FF3 with adblock and made it so no pictures are loading.

Anything that loads adds and pictures slows it down.

Greenie, yeah Im afraid I am using IE, so dont think I can use that addblocker you linked :(

Weird thing is though, if its the adds, then why was everything very fast when my province was in protection still ? Or are there no adds in that stage, didnt rly look.

In protection, everything is better.
It's the Utopian Gods. They give free hardcore porn to all your peasants.

There are even addblockers for IE6, so prob also for IE7 and IE8, what are you running?
27-09-2009, 14:02
Mrmonkey

Hmm, I couldnt really find which IE I have, but Its the one that comes standard with Vista, which is IE 7 if Im correct ? I never upgraded to IE 8 because Vista's autoupgrade kept failing (yes vista is great)
27-09-2009, 14:07
Kees

then go hunt for an addblocker for IE7?
27-09-2009, 15:11
Mrmonkey

I will, yes, but you asked me which IE I used, so I thought you might have a suggestion for an addblocker
27-09-2009, 18:20
Kees

Nah, if it was IE6 i might have had one, but after IE6 i converted to Opera (no pictures at all) and when i got of my gprs i went to FF3 with selected pics.
27-09-2009, 20:04
MrCaid

Go back to Opera, it ownz.

It sure as hell does. But being lazy and loving metatron + pimpagent made me go to the FF3 camp :P

Well, we know that's just a load of crap. Always get one in the crowd.

Anywayz... yea it's the advertisements that are installing spyware into our hard drives. Sure would be nice if OMAC fixes this crap.
