  • Reporting Packetloss / Latency

    Note: Since this thread is a sticky thread, do NOT post content unrelated to the issue at hand. Unrelated posts will be deleted.

    If you're having trouble with packetloss or latency in Trench Wars, I want to know about it.

    Send an email to dock@twsites.com containing the following.

    The subject header must include the words "LAG REPORT" so it can be automatically filed with the rest of the lag reports.

    The body of the email must contain the following:

    1) Your IP address

    Visit www.whatismyip.com and report the series of numbers there.

    2) The name of your internet service provider

    3) Date/Time(s) of occurance(s)

    4) Latency/Packetloss statistics

    Use ?lag after being in game for at least 10 minutes, and record everything it says there.

    5) Trace/Pathping results.

    In the continuum main menu, before you enter the game, go to the View menu and select Trace. Run this test for at least 100 cycles. Bear in mind that the more cycles you allow for, the more accurate the result will be. Once you have reached the desired number of cycles, click export. Save the file somewhere and include the contents in the email.

    If/when the problem goes away, send me another email with the time/date it went away. I may or may not respond to your emails, depending on how much time I have, but I will collect the data I receive and take appropriate action if possible.

          Please fix my 280+ ping

          moving the server to Sydney would be a good start

              Many people experience lag with Windows 2000 / XP, atleast in my area.
              I had to install w98 with dualboot to play lagfree. Its not the ping, its the huge packetloss. I think this issue has been brought up before, but not taken care of since nobody really knows what the problem is.

                Likely means a firewall somewhere is blocking icmp...

                  That doesn't make much sense, I've run 2000/XP with no problems for years, it must be something else...

                    Heh, thats what everyone say.. until they see it with their own eyes.
                    It's really a mystery, but its plain true. I even called my isp several times a few years ago but they didnt even have a clue.
                    Hannes has the same problem, so does anzu and some more i dont remember.
                    I think noah had it too and he lives in norway but we in finland and the same area.

                      What is icmp, is there a port number I can just open up for it?

                        I have it too god dammit!

                        Packetloss is around 7% all the time NOW, about a month ago I had 14% s2c.

                          recently there have been some server diconnections for me. no one seems to remember them for some reason, so i don't know if they happened for everyone. i usually have server to computer, about 1.4%. this is odd because i have broadband cable internet, and it used to be 0.1%. its not much of a big problem, just sometimes it makes ships' movement rough.

                          Also who changed to pw to Squadless, how am I supposed to fly the banner of sucking at the game
