The zip files are probably encrypted to provide better copyright security to the game assets.
If it was Dedicated Logic's intent to just protect the client gaming scripts, they would have only encrypted these.

However, none of my low or high spec machines has ever had an issue with the the background loading (indicated by the little clock shown bottom left-hand corner of the screen) that occurs once you have been placed in the game.

@Shaqan: I am unsure if anyone else has the performance loss you are encountering. The background loading rarely has been an issue on my machines. And in the rare instances there was a slow load - it resolved itself quickly.

I can tell you that faster driver performance is pretty unlikely to resolve the problem you're seeing. My gaming rig has an SSD as the OS drive and I noticed an immense overall performance boost over my 7200 RPM HDD so I tried moving AWS to the SSD hoping that its performance would also improve. Unfortunately it made no noticeable difference, though I didn't run any kind of benchmarking tools to get detailed differences. Being a smaller SSD, I moved AWS back to my much larger HDD and again couldn't discern any performance difference from this alone.

In this situation you discuss I find that CPU and Graphics cards are the primary factors that effect the fluency of gameplay.
Some motherboards will bottleneck, but it is much rarer for it to be the cause.

Unfortunately replacing components for testing on a freshly formatted drive, preferably SSD, and no other softwares, particularly Virus or malware software, is about the most surefire way of resolving quickly.

I can tell now that excluding AW folders from AV check or disabling the AV had no effect at all.

Also erased bunch of my previous posts in this topic, suddenly realized that technical troubleshooting went far outside of "Ideas , suggestions.."

Clickable links for Items. Loot. Towns. such as, say a player has a BV Seiger rifle, Wants to show it to another player so they may check thier effectiveness level. Hold Shift + left click while chat is activated Boom a link is created sent to chat in the manner... BV Seiger Then another player may right click that name (link) and up pops the information window for this item. Same for loot, descriptions. Same for towns. except. Map opens and Mark is created. Could also be incorporated to use these "links" to send Coords to players via PM messages. That is all for now  ;D 8)

My effectiveness on items I do not own - that is what I use the Market Terminal for ... right click on the item being sold and I can see how effective I am on the item ;)
The workaround (if the market does not have the item; or you have an item that you want another player to check their  effectiveness on) ... trade with the player, place your item in the trade window, the other play can right click it and as long as YOU do not commit the trade you can cancel the trade at anytime.


I would give you a link to the wiki trade window so you can see that as long as you do not complete the handshake - your item is safe ... but there does not seem to be a page for that  :o

There are indeed workarounds, but Bongwater's point is valid - we shouldn't have to find workarounds, it should be built into the game! I've seen this in other games and wondered why it was not already in AW too, but forgot about it too quickly to remember to suggest it. 8-(

About the player-to-player trade window on the wiki, you're right, there's not one! This should definitely be added to both the HUD page and maybe the Trading page, though the latter page is dedicated to the profession and interactions with NPCs.

The main reason I mentioned the clickable links for items etc. I can now begin Underground Mining and there has yet to be an 82 mosk at the market. I dont believe anyone uses an 82 anymore either so I have to check up on 146 or 178 which, after all are miles apart. effectiveness wise.

Hmmm - Perhaps some sort of info terminal - has every item listed and you can right-click on these to get info (your effectiveness, total cost at different repairs, other useful info)?

That would be very useful indeed! kind of like the market just with all items there. craft ingredient lists, awd requirement etc.
Clickable links however, Say your a great distance from any outpost or terminal... Holler at a society friend and have them link the item. Also the other main reason for the idea is sending marks to others. Ofcourse it isnt hard to just open map and scroll pointer to the coordinates but its much easier to right click Waypoint in chat and map opens mark is dropped also would be nice if an arrow stayed at edge of radar indicating the direction towards a mark. Little simple things like this can make a world of difference. Especially if you aren't familiar with the territory.  ;D

Many moons ago I made a similar request/suggestion for map markers having arrows on the map window and radar. We know it's possible because in the past we did noobot courier runs in AWA's Labyrinth of Death zone (which was not directly duplicated in AWS as far as we've seen so far), where the noobot's icon on the radar would be a flashing light blue radar dot or question mark while inside of radar range but changed to an arrow pointing to the direction of the noobot when out of radar range. I simply asked that we be able to click on a marker either on the map or the marker interface window and have it show up the same way on the radar.

Hopefully they plan on implementing this because when you die in the middle of nowhere it would make getting back to that same spot much easier, especially in AWS's large world!

Every day I look over and I see posts all the time, even stations that have no place and are united only members to post  sucks .. do not take any action about it .. I think the game needs more more support even from the player as old and new ones ... some time working with many of the moderators of huge gaming platform shooter all Russians but things are different there are 562,388 players ..just on facebook where I am moderator place daily around 200 messages in less than 24 hours to respond to ANY problem with Backdrops and also a printscreen to show most moderators are paid only Gold in the game and things go smoothly. Each bug or hacking is rewarded equally. We all moderators Trello account where there post the problems in testing and developing players and tell us how to solve problems if us dont know ... Like the idea for players who can help you make a contest or some evidence may be can help you to game take a road that all of us want
I hope I did not upset anyone



 Srry for my english

I agree 100% with ya jbk.  there is a large pool of current players with skills that plainly do about anything on the internet daily.  We are moderators, programmers, website devs, social media freaks.. u name it.  And given the correct amount of trust and tools would be able to handle a massive amount of the lower feedback for probably free to very low cost.

Alas since I wrote my first webpage in 1993.. I have rarely got paid for my web/moderation/social work.... sad actually
