Here is the data on them (gym loc, poke type, timer data, etc)". Game says to server "hey how many raids in view?" Server sends "hey there are 2 raids.
Currently the view is 500m say (I'm making these figures up.just as examples). A slight increase may load only 2 or 3 more raids for example.but times that by the millions of users and the data strain is immense.Įxample. It only calls for what is in the visible radius. It's not like you open the app and all the data for all the gyms are called and downloaded to your device. The data for the raid is on the sever yes, but expanding the radius of the map would result in more data being called for display by each instance of the app. all niantic needs is your lat long coordinate to load the map from the api, then same latlong for the nearby gym, raids, stops, spawns. I'm strictly talking bout the raid range, if we include every pokemon spawn points that would freeze your device.Īdditionally, the map Niantic might be using is outsourced from a different company which might be an api driven implementation. MMORPG games where you need to get updated for every movement the other players made have far worst data cycle than pokemon go where you dont have to worry with other players so much. your device will lag not because the server lags its because the data is too much for your device to load. But it will cost a burden in your device, not on the server. all Niantic needs to do is to increase the range of data requested on the server, which in my opinion as a programmer doesnt costs a lot. I think everyone here is mistakingly reason out server capacity as an excuse while its not, regardless if the raid is in your view or not it is already loaded in the server.
