Bandwidth Consumption

Post by RogueButterfly »

Does anyone know how much bandwidth / data transfer is consumed for an average 20 min game? Wanting to know so I can play with somebody who only has cell service + data plan. We’d be playing games like Rainforest, Magica, Krosmaster.

I've never measured it, but I think the most important thing is to identify which games you want to play, and then make sure your friend loads each one while connected to wi-fi. For example, you can make a test game, let them load on wi-fi, then vote to abandon the game.

Now that the friend has done this on their mobile phone, it SHOULD cache the images the next time they load, massively reducing bandwidth.
