How to fix Packet Loss?

[Dameon Angell]

I have a couple people in my squad currently combating packet loss problems. They have relatively low ping (70-100), but have around 2.0-4.0 S2C ploss.

I know it's Server to Client, but still, I know it's gotta be something on their end. I'm not sure if this was discussed before and some answers were given, but I tried helping them myself to no avail. Anyone have any stories of how they won this battle with ploss?

[Snipe!]

Well, i have some pretty awful packetloss (My ping's okay). i average around 2.4% s2c and 0.1% c2s.

Im on a wireless, and it automatically reconnects when i get disconnected.

i remember there was some option to make it so i had to manually reconnect, that usually lowered my ploss quite a bit.

too bad i forget where that option is :<

Every time I get prolonged ploss in SS I usually run Spybot search & destory/Adware 6 and check msconfig under "startup". Usually there is some sort of spyware or something that I just remove.

I always have like 2 week periods where my S2C will sit at like 4% then it will just randomly drop to like C2S 0.2 for a month or 2 then jump back up to 4% again!

I could never work out what it was other than blaming my wireless xD But yeah, I just have to sit mine out! Gotta admit alot of people are having ploss problems at the moment! There's like a fault router near the tw server or something like that I heard, although that might be unrelated, can't remember lol

Hopone recently started causing packetloss for alot of dutch people.

[Evul Fly]

hopone was causing ploss all the time.

[DJSlayer]

hopone have some shitty faulty router they dont seem to wanna fix xD and its affecting more than dutch people, although they are badly affected i think!

Thats the link on sscentral about the hopone stuff, nothing much useful there about fixing it though -_-

There is something with hopone it sais that it gives lots of lags but it doesn't actually do it, i'm not technical enough to explain it but anyway, I have heard rotte/billie en cool koen not beeing able to enter tw, they could only enter 2 zones, now sometimes rotte can enter tw but he is way to laggy to play. sucks.

good thing it doesn't affect my lag :wub:

I havent been able to play for like 8 days now. Send an email to hopone with a traceraport, but they say their routers are fine.
Heres the reply from hopone:

------------------

Greetings, There is no packet loss here. Our network is secure. If you don't use a normal traceroute but some other application that emulates a traceroute, you will often see "100% packet loss" which just means that our network is secure - as our network devices are not accessible in any shape or form from the public Internet and your application may be trying to directly ping them (which is not possible, as there is no route to our network devices from the Internet), as an added network security measure to avoid any attempted atacks on or hacks into any portion of our network. What matters is the ping to the end server, do, e.g.ping -t <end server IP>and run it for a 100+ pings. Then you will see the real performance to the server.

Your trace shows no problems here, and the out route is fine too:



TRACERAPORT



Let us know if we can be of any further help.

Best Regards,

P.S. Try using a normal traceroute to get more sensible results.

My ping is fine yeah, but i get this insane packetloss.

[Burzum]

Please DO NOT WORRY if you see 99.x% packetloss coming from hopone routers! This is COMPLETELY NORMAL!

All this means is the router has decided not to return your ping. It does not mean your packets are not being transmitted through to the destination.

Those near-100% ploss routers aren't the problem, check any others for non-standard values that coincide with your in-game ?lag packet loss.

[Darkmoor]

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with HopOne...

[Dutch_]

yay, its fixed!

[Cool koen]

No it's not fixed. I still got the problem.

[DJSlayer]

It was like fixed then died again I think ... lol

tru

Send an email to my isp but i dont think they understand cuz my ping is still good.
