Packetloss

[Exalt]

So the past 2-3 weeks, every time I log on I have a S2C ploss of like 6.0 or higher...

every time.... I have 40 ms, everything is stable... but whatever I'm getting routed through is giving me unplayable ploss... and i cant seem to fix it

this never happened before... so I'm not sure what to do about it...

I know last night after 9 pm it went down to .0... but anytime before 9 pm its always really high and unplayable...

I'll probably have to quit the game if I can't figure out how to stop the ploss... but the problem is it is completely server side it seems....

its not hopone either... its ae-41-99.car1.Washington1.Level3.net that seems to be doing it... which is the TW server itself if im not mistaken

anyway... i know most of you would probably like it if I quit... and I haven't played much lately cuz of it anyway... but I will have to quit for good if I don't get a solution...

Any ideas?

Suggestion #1: Buy a new internet connection. :fear:

Answer: I get 30 mbps download at all times. I think my connection is top .00001% of TW.

Try again.

I heard some other people having issues with the Level3 router too. I suggest everyone that has ploss caused by this router submits a ticket to the Level3 or calls them up, the more people report it the sooner it will be fixed by them. Trench Wars cannot help lag caused by the routers people are using to connect to the zone, so the problem should be fixed by the Level3 router itself.

If you want to see where your ploss is coming from, I suggest using a program like PingPlotter, it analyzes what is creating your lag/high ping.

Whether you're a user of an ASP, an online gamer, a VoIP user, user of some other network/Internet application or an administrator, at some point it's likely you'll encounter problems with your network or Internet connection(s). PingPlotter helps you pinpoint where the problems are in an intuitive graphical way, and to continue monitoring your connection long-term to further identify issues.

PingPlotter offers some unique value for network monitoring and troubleshooting:

    * Graphically display performance metrics about the route your data takes to a server.
    * Monitor network performance over time, capturing the moments when problems surface.
    * Zoom in on a problem period and construct a compelling case to have someone help you solve a problem.
    * Get notified when there is a network problem.
    * Save data or images, and send to others for review.
    * Troubleshoot without having to call your ISP, allowing you to know about problems before they do.

simmer that ego down, no one would care if you stopped playing. no one cares if anyone stops playing, as there have been many many more before you to have stopped playing and the zone continues.
