link dead all the time

I can be playing away quite happily on shrouded isles when the game will go link dead. I will try to reconnect and the game will patch itself for some reason. (am playing UK version of game)

Once the patch has completed I am unable to login as it tells me that my username or password is incorrect. The only thing that seems to resolve the issue is a reinstallation of shrouded isles, until I go link dead again. Then I have to repeat the process.

This is starting to wear thin as you can imagine as I've had to reinstall the damn thing twice this evening all ready, anyone have any solutions to my little problem ?

thankyou

That will solve the patching problem but it will not solve this problem

Seems this evening, for me anyway, that

WanadooPortails.GW.opentransit.net [193.251.251.54] is playing up

I assume from your symptoms (being identical to mine) that this lil router aint playing properly.
I have rightnow'd and am looking forward to a responce.

I have exactly the same issue - i'm also with Nildram and have been having LDs since yesterday evening (played all night friday without any hiccups so this must be new). Impossible to play atm.

Quite confusing that we are all on Nildram yet the problem lies at the Wanado router (for me and snoz anyway)

I'm also with Nildram ADSL (the lite version £23 per month one) but *not* having any problems. Strange but I'm not complaining ...

Suffering from the same problems, however, i use Andrews & Arnold as an ISP.

Watching my net activity tonight with VisualRoute, i had the following report.

( on average, over a 2 hour period i dropped suffiecient packets to cause LD about every 5 minutes )

hope the formatting is ok. <edit, nope, in fact formatting is terrible, but might be good enough :) >

not sure if the problem is Wanadoo or not, as report suggests problems occuring earlier down the line, but if thats the case i wonder why only a few ISP users are suffering this ?

If so can we have details of what they said here?

I spammed a few tracerts for a couple of mins or two to the excaliber ip and all seemed fine. Connected to the server and within about 3 mins, lag spike, packet loss, linkdead :/
I think some kind of packet monitoring program is needed, as it seems to occur periodically, although very regularly. Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem with Direct IP/ADSLnow. It is fine during the day, but once it gets to about 6pm I'll end up LDing every couple of minutes. Ran viruscheck, scanned for spybots and that sorta thing, cleaned all the leads, no change. It is simply unplayable at the moment.

And when my trace dies, it dies at the same place. I think it started when that router blew the other day...
