Trench Wars Hop Servers

[Money]

Heh,
This is a screenshot of a Direct PING test to the IP Address of SSCU Trench Wars

That shows the ping response in milliseconds using a website and it is around 100-120 ms roughly, whereas using the game I get over 600 regularly

thats because more information is sent for the game instead of a website? im guessing?

i found the problem

I'm sorry to break it to you, but all that website is doing is showing a ping report from THEIR server (which is located in the USA) to the TW server. All that does is further prove that it's your connection that's fucked up.

Open a command prompt and enter "ping 66.36.241.110" without quotes, and you'll get a ping report from YOUR computer to the TW server.

As soon as everyone started complaining about lag problems, I started having issues myself, at roughly the same time Flabby mentioned. I live in the eastern part of the US, so this apparently doesn't only affect people not in America. I don't understand how 30% of people playing SS can get the same lag issues starting around the same time and ending at the same time, with the only variation in ping times being changed slightly by area. Daldur shows that he gets pings around 860, I still get pinged around 450 at the same time. If the server isn't at fault in anyway, then we're having a global epidemic of lag issues.

Wherever this topic goes, it all comes down to...

no staff, nor any server owner can do anything about lag or packetloss some people outside of the USA are having

because of this, it's quite pointless to discuss this at all.

Even the dutch people have had some bad packetloss a month ago but that has gone away.
Usually all packetloss/connection problems are solved by the foreign ISPs that control the routers which make up your connection to the Trench War's server.

Life sucks, learn to live with it.

like a self-fulfilling prophecy....

not funny, afk

[PH]

I disagree.

PS: Punctuating insults with "afk" is not funny either. Never was.

I live in Ohio, close enough to the server. I have broadband (cable), up to 7.0 mbps down and 512 kbps up and this is the only computer connected to my modem. I have .1 percent packet-loss now and then from both S2C and C2S. Before the server moved I had around a 200 ping with no packet-loss. Somehow this is enough for me to not be able to TWD, until very recently I was unable to stay in a match because I would constantly be spectated by the bot. Before the server move I was never spectated.

I don't know if that has to do with lag restrictions being tightened after the move or what but it doesn't make much sense that I couldn't participate in TWD seeing how I have virtually no lag and live so close to the server. I'm not saying anyone can do anything about this I just want to point out it's not just people outside the US that are having this packet-loss problem.

Moved what server?
The only server that moved recently that i know of is the webserver, not the Game server...

[Kontrolz]

I'm talking years ago when it moved from Finland or wherever it was to the eastern part of the US. It wasn't until recently that for some unknown reason I've been able to play TWD without getting spec'd every match.

My ploss has recently been going up, ill sit around .7-.8 now. It never did this before and my isp hasn't changed. I was directed to think that the trenchwars webhosting site was going to pay for a better server... But i know ppl with cheap servers on crappy t1 connections that could host with less lag. A 2d game with limited graphics where most the code is client side doesn't require a "special" server.

[freddie]

I would just like to announce, my lag has always been stable and it still is.
That is all.

[Spikester]

You need to get a better connection or move I guess

[Ronn]

I think this sort of problem is whats going to finally kill ss.
