Progress seems slow

[jrjhealey]

Expected Behavior

The bot runs fine, walks, catches, hatches - all that good stuff. However, compared to the old master commit I was running before the API change, the bot's progress just seems a bit sluggish to me. In particular the bot only manages to walk a couple of km in several hours.

Actual Behavior

However, compared to the old master commit I was running before the API change, the bot's progress just seems a bit sluggish to me. In particular the bot only manages to walk a couple of km in several hours.

The config file is set at 10km an hour and yet, the bot only managed 2km in almost 5 hours - see my termination summary below. I ran the bot overnight last night, almost 9 hours and I think it only moved a total of 5 km

Where are you located? Try setting the bot in a location with a lot of pokemon. I use Santa Monica Pier and get 25k xp/hour. Don't worry, you won't get banned.

[DiegoRBaquero]

What's your config like? Maybe increase your speed?

[jrjhealey]

Well the location I'm currently using is one that was previously performing much better (it's wondering around my uni campus primarily). On the old master branch I would easily gain a level in a matter of hours, now I'm only generating a couple of thousand XP. I'll give a geolocation change a go since thats an obvious solution.

@DiegoRBaquero my config file speed is configured at 10 or 11 km an hour walking speed.

@jrjhealey The bot is fine, your config file isn't.
Mine is at 60k-70k/h.

[hew-xavier]

This is duplicate of other issue.
#3056

See other issue for possible cause and local fix (if you don't require map integration).

[Krewedk0]

@BriceSD can you post your config please?

[BriceSD]

hew-xavier is right, i forgot about the map issue. But appart from that it works fine
@Krewedk0 #2491

[jrjhealey]

Yeah you may all be right, might be a case of optimising my config. Switching to Santa Monica pier has, of course, softbanned me haha..
