Linkdeads galore...

[butcha]

Since new patch I am getting linkdead every other minute....

Anyone else having problems....

Hoped the re-emplacement of servers would have helped for the lag but actually it only got worse here

Seems to be happening in waves, several folks in the group either lagged terribly, or went ld - they got back in, then a few minutes later, same thing happened...

It seems (from our very unscientific 'testing'!) that you are more likely to end up ld if you are on a normal 56k or less dial in connection, whilst faster conns seem to lag horribly but at least stay connected. It's not related to isps, as we have a whole bunch in use, and the fact that it's happening in waves strongly suggests a problem at the server/goa/wannadoo routing end of the system.

Shame, as the patching went smoothly and what I'd seen of 1.49 looked nice.

I guess that servers are laggy because people are downloading the Patch.

Happening alot just got 2nd LD in DF and died then got another 2 mins later

Still, cant really grumble, it is patch day and it was alot of fun while it lasted

Edit: Should take the hint and go to sleep - last 2 LD's were 20 and 3 seconds after log on

I was lding more often than not on adsl, the 56k thing doesn't seem to hold (well not for me).

 

[old.marteeny]

Dreadful ping/latency here too

I'm on ISDN from the Channel Islands and last night was horrendous (we're close to France but still have to route through UK for the net). I constantly had 2 red squares for latency and ping between 7pm and 9pm, and two LDs. Otherwise the last two weeks have been 100% clear - no LDs at all.

Only had to suffer for two hours though, then my main PC decided to spare me the lag by shutting down - managed to blow up my DDR-RAM somehow /sigh
