Data usage of HnH

Post by leeIII »

hi guys - I'm playing from a limited data plan while I'm out of the states, does anyone know or have an estimate about how much data consumption HnH requires? I have a limit of 1 gig every few days. ty~

you can play H&H all day long with likely 200-250Mb of traffic (both in and out), bandwidth use is really low, but is better to have a decent speed.

Statistically speaking, the average bandwidth usage per player is about 1 kB/s. That's just statistics though, of course, so it may be grossly untrue in your particular situation, but it might be useful as a rule of thumb.

Many custom clients are designed to be used in first world countries without datacaps.
So using default client probably helps.
Amber and especially purus pasta does lot of stuff that uses relatively small amounts of bandwidth that default doesnt. (Such as pinging and tracking player count) But if you have datacap they still might be an issue.
