Slow World Loading

So I think about a week ago, I noticed that when I load into worlds, the loading takes up my entire bandwidth (75Mbps) – but then slows down and transfers 5-10Mbps until it’s done.

As worlds are upwards of 100Mb, the download will slow down to a point where it takes seconds for a single MB to download, and it makes loading worlds take minutes where it used to take seconds.

I’ve attempted to Preload a world before loading, but I experience the same issue.

If I’m in a world, the game runs perfectly fine – it’s only when it’s loading worlds that the download slows down.

I’ve run speedtests, and I’ve tested with other systems to ensure my network card is able to hold a consistent speed near max.

I’m also on the East coast, if this helps try to pinpoint a caching issue.

Hi all;

After submitting a ticket to VRC and being directed to the FAQ, I went to my router and changed the DNS that it had auto-populated (using my provider’s DNS) to Cloudflare (in case you need the DNS addresses, they’re 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1), and suddenly I was getting consistent 50Mb/s instead of the >10Mb/s that I was having issues with. This solved my problem!
