Preloading doesn't work.

I've been using the preload launch option for years to stop dcing from zones but in the latest patch it stopped working.

FYI prelaoding dose nothing for your connection, this is local to your PC.

The command lines --waitfropreload and --noasync only tell the game to preload more assets from your hard drive to the ram it dose not touch your connection and loading assets don't cause disconnects either, it cause the game to pause while it loads the asset your connection is still there and being used.

If you are disconnecting you would need to run WinMTR while you played to the point of a DC then post the results so someone can diagnose where the problem is occurring along your connection.

Now, as it happens i would agree the asset preload dose not seem to be working just due to the speed of loading to the login screen and between each zone BUT they just restructured the games files and it is entirely possible that the restructuring makes the loading a lot faster, i'd have to say that it seems like it's doing just that as there are no pauses i've seen so far.
