Hello,

I was unsure of where to place this. Please move if needed.

Recently (have barely played for past two weeks so not sure exactly when it started) I have observed a large increase in the amount of data sent and recieved while playing a match of mwo. The increase has been by over 125%. This is a major issue for me as I have a monthly bandwidth limit :/

I think I recall pgi saying they were messing with the data compression a bit ago. Maybe someone from pgi could comment please? I can barely play.

Data compression is a very bad thing for online games. Id say this is a good thing if they've increased the data rates of the game.

I also saw them mention something about increasing logging to figure out why users are DC/s not sure if this has anything to do with it.

- Gameplay bandwidth costs should be reduced

This was in the last patch and i guess it went wrong.
I think this is what is causing your, mine and the problem of alot of other guys.
