Hi there, I've been coming across this problem more and more lately and am wondering if someone (moderator, or intelligent computer person) could explain why.

On random days that are getting more and more frequent, armor games (and only them) has very very long load times when trying to load a game.

Is this because everyone is trying to play at once, or are they doing some sort of maintenance and should try again later?

Thanks ahead of time for the help!
Happy gaming

Is it loading time as in the page loading, or the game itself that is lacking.

If it's the page, than it's most likely your computer, unless it's a multiplayer game, than it might take longer to load.

If you mean the game itself isn't loading fast, it's just some games load faster than others because they're all in different sizes and shapes. This is in the FAQ on the help page:

Q: Why do some games load faster than others?
A: Games are all different sizes, which means that it may take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes to load a game. For example, a game like Fancy Pants Adventures World 2 may take several minutes while a smaller game like Retron will take only a few seconds. It also depends on the time of day and your connection.


Hope it helps!

If its the same time of day you get on and its having problems. its probaly cause more people are on tht game or this website and it takes a little longer to load. and as acmed said if its a multiplayer game it will take longer to load which is normal. if all websites that you try and access are slow its most likely your internet connection and internet type for example: some games REQUIRE google chrome and will most likely on play on tht. some games re quire regular internet and if your useing chrome. it will cause it to run slow or not work at all.

Insanely long load times? It sounds like there's a virus in your computer. I don't think it is a great idea to log into AG for the following reasons:

- The virus may steal your login info

- The virus may use the stolen account to spam the forums and give the user a bad reputation

- The virus may crash our internet while logging in

But, even if you are not logged in, you may have issues such as:

- Computer lag across the whole system

- Severe lag when playing games or using applications in general

- Inabbility to initilize an application

- Inabbility to use antivirus

- Automatic shutdown after a few minutes (sometimes not a virus*)

*You may have UPS set to autoreset, If you have it set to do that, start the system in safe mode and use system restore** untill it is fixed

**A virus cannot ever ruin system restore.

I hope this information is useful.
