Packet loss... Skuzzy?
« on: July 09, 2004, 11:23:58 AM »
I would send you a pingplotter picture but that would be a waste of time as it shows a good steady connect.  Same with UOTrace.  Show a decent connect with no packet loss for over 15 minutes.

I can then close it and log onto AH and check with the ping details and show packet loss right away, for up to a little more then a minute.  It then clears up.  I wait awhile, 1 to 5 minutes and packet loss is back.  I have just logged onto AH and checked with pretty much the same  results.

I've also notice the longer I stay online the worse the following seems to get?

Noticed in a couple of instances that on my FE I really light up a nme, and the nme keeps flying as if no damage has been inflicted.   We are talking heavy hit sprites right on the nose of a spit and nothing seemed to happen.  The spit flew right on by and turned and came back in with no apparent loss of anything.

In on the 6 of a mossie, heavy hit sprites show on left wing and ??? nothing???  Kept flying.  2nd attempt on same mossie and got his tail with just a couple hit sprites in that area???

Seems like the server is not getting all my actions/shooting?  Have done some failry hard manuvers, right on the edge of full blackout and reduceing speed and the nme doesn't seem to be any where close to having a shot at me and BANG i'm toast :(

When I get a CTD usually the screen freezes for about 30 to 60 seconds and then it frees up for maybe a second and then I get a host connection lost message but during that time i've been shot down by nme's.  I've seen the kill message pop up just before the host connection lost message????????

Any suggestions?

Could you send me a copy of the DXDIAG output?

What type of Internet connection do you have?

Connect is dialup set to so best speed is 37333  as per your suggestion.  I use 2 different dialup numbers for accessing AH.  One gives me a little less hops (10 vs 11) connect then the other.

I should note here that the 1st three days after the last patch I had a KD of just over 7.

Everything seemed to work excellent.  Then ????

Is it possibly  my FE.  Had a sound loop lockup and had to reboot.

Could that damage or corrupt  AH?

Will send you a copy of my dxdiag right after I run it :)

Could it be a winmodem starving for cpu cycles?

OK..........

This is what I've done.

Think it took care of the problem on my system.  (w98se)

Reinstalled Dx9.0b.  Didn't seem to do anything.

So ..........

Went to Majorgeeks and got a downloader.

Downloaded full version of AH 2004 (took about 4 1/2 to 5 hours)

Removed (through control panel add/remove programs) AHII and rebooted.  Reinstalled AHII and applied 2005 patch and rebooted.

Went online.  Whoa........... had a 5 kill sortie and then an 8 kill sortie.  I'm now hitting again and seeing results.  I think I'm pretty much using the same angles and timming as I was.

Hmmmm Skuzzy could the sound loop lockup that forced me to reset my system perhaps corrupted the com portion, that talks with the AH server,of my copy of AH so what happened was what I was seeing was not always getting through to the AH server?

Or did you guys tweak the server and I just happened to do this at the same time?

Note: this is something I had to do with AHI as well.  Perhaps it's something with my system.  But when ever I had a screen freeze/lockup/reset or a bad ctd if I did not remove and reinstall AHI   I would (at least part of the time) have trouble hitting anything, or I would hit something but with very little or no results, and this would continue until I removed and reinstalled AHI.

Then I would right away start hitting and seeing results again.  This seems more pronounced with AHII though?

My imagination? or something with my system?

OH something I perhaps should do that I haven't done is run DxDiag and set my SBPCI512 to 3/4 accel.....

I've got onboard sound but need the card for analog controls so onboard is shut down.

No changes on this end.  Sounds like some type of bizarre corruption is creeping in.

Only seems to happen if I have a lockup or really bad ctd.  If I lose host connection it seems to do just fine.
