BYOND Build Number: 446.1027
Operating System: Windows XP
Video/Graphics Card: Unknown
Game Hub/Link: http://www.byond.com/games/DevourerOfSouls/ DuelMonstersExpert?tab=live
Internet Connection Type: Cable

Problem Description: After joining some games, like the ones mentioned, there may be a 60-minute long download; (I counted, 55 minutes is how long the last DL Took to join this game), depending on how fast the host's internet is

After you leave the game, you have to redownload EVERY SINGLE RESOURCE AGAIN! It's pissing me off, is there a way to stop it? And no, there ARE no host files for the game.

Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1.) Join game linked & Download Resources
2.) Leave game
3.) Join game only to have to re-dl all sources
4.) Furthermore, trying to use client--->reconnect leads the map to be glitched and unusable, but that's a BYOND glitch and can't be helped by you guys o_O

Schnitzelnagler	This seems to be an issue with most of these 'resource monsters' that used preload_rsc. http://www.byond.com/developer/ forum/?id=708087&view=1#708087

Mista-mage123	Wow. So this could be a BYOND issue with caching these resource monsters?

Schnitzelnagler	I think your best bet in investigating the issue is to talk with the ones experiencing the problem.

Mista-mage123	Which is all other 133 players that play Duel Monsters Unlimited daily? (looking at how many are logged in at this second, 133.) The issue is more widespread than you think

Schnitzelnagler	I am sorry, I should have worded this a bit more exact. I meant that you might want to contact the person that wrote the posting I linked to, since he obviously is worried about his players and has the source code to test and see the issues, he is most likely the one that can provide a solution, or if it is a malfunction with BYOND, a proper bug report.
