Hi All!
Was very curious what actually occurs when loading a game up to play! I also was curious if the process is the same for a singleplayer game versus a multiplayer game?
Thanks!

It’s mostly the same.
When a game loads it basically reads all the required game files from your harddrive into the RAM to be quickly accessed during gameplay.
For online games you don’t get those files from an online server each time, that happens only when you update your game. The connection only gives you the position and actions of other players, and since that changes constantly it doesn’t have to be loaded before.
