well one way to find out if it is your internet is to run just 1 virtual machine
let it do dominion and see what happens if it still shows click skip to stats then it might be the settings of the virtual machine
cause you can limit internet speed per VM
also you can try a speedtest within the VM
and a speedtest outside VM
it should be configured as NAT
but it might be configured otherwise cause of your router settings
if you have a router...
if you could tell your internet speed that you should have
download / upload
and after a speedtest at speedtest.net (random server nearby)
tell us what the results are of that (inside VM and outside VM)
defragging is for faster access to files
cause normally a harddisk is like build of blocks
and if space is between those blocks it takes longer to read the data out of it
so it takes longer to access a file
defragging it causes it to put them on a line again without space inbetween
so it can search faster. (atleast this is what i learned at my previous Tech study)
but since it is a SSD.. it doesn't need defragging...
defragging a SSD is bad for the SSD itself
cause it aren't disc blocks anymore but electrons i think? haven't read how a SSD operates so but there is a logical explaination behind it
just don't defrag ur SSD :)
if you have a VM..i think you can just assign an SSD to it instead of a harddisk
then it won't even nag you about defragging if im right
its been quite some time ago so my information might be off at some point..
so.. speedtests VM and outside
test 1 VM with bot (solo dominion) see if that works
might just be your internet too slow
also slightly increase the RAM of the machine you are going to test
i take it your PC can hold just one machine if you can run 7 of them at once :P
i have like 8GB of RAM .. windows 7 takes like 1,3 ~ 2 GB
the 3 VM's i have on now atm all windows XP with 1 GB each
i wanted to test performance differences between 512 MB or 1 GB
since it was using pagefiles x_X
which is not great for my harddisk xD
feedback of the other version you gave me:
it sometimes gets stuck at closing the "you're lvl 3 now you got riot points"
one of my accounts got lvl 3 and it didn't close it
it just went on buying without closing it
so i had to close it manually else it gets stuck at adding bots
cause then it would add bots only to the left side of the screen
cause the other "add bot" of the right side is blocked by the popup of the lvl up + riot points msg
sorry for my long posts xD but yeah quite alot of information to tell xD
i use alot of new lines to keep it readable xD
