« on: February 17, 2007, 11:49:01 AM »
i have discoed 3 times in the last 2 weeks or so.

i have cable

i keep the computer squeeky clean

nothing has changed on my end that i can think of.

in all the time i have been playing this game, this has never happened be4

any ideas??

anyone else having this problem??

all 3 times-- in plane--59 - 60 fps

nothing, not even other planes around!!!

poof!!!

booted!!

try to get back into arena i was in , only to find that it is OVER loaded

would this overloading of amt of people VS max amt allowed have
something to do with it??

Cable internet? Maybe a funky splitter/bad connection on spliiter - especially if exposed to weather. Flaky mechanical connection (loose, oxidized, dirty) anywhere. Of course there are lots of other possibilities but a lot of wierd intermittent problems are due to mechanical connection problems. At least you can try to rule that out before moving on to other possiblities. You can have such a problem and never see it when watching the tv.

No.  

Are you losing your internet connection or just to the ah2?  If it's your connection, how old is your modem or router?

If it's to ah try a ping and tracert right after your boot.  You are having problems with one of your hops.

A momentary "hiccup" in your connection to the ISP is enough to dump you from AH I believe. A momentary "hiccup" while just surfing may go unnoticed. If anything you might notice that a page takes longer to load than usual.

I  don,t lose internet connection

it only seems to be AH

this has NEVER happened before

now 3 times in less than 1 1/2 weeks

is it possible that someone can hack into the game to bump someone out of the arena they want into if it is full????

or could it be some type of glich that bumps someone out when the arenas are filled beyond the set capacity for the moment??

it seems that when i get bumped, and i try to get back in, i can,t because the arena is filled BEYOND the stated capacity.

since the 1st time i was bumped i have been keeping an eye on my fps

its usually around 60

unless i,m in the tower of a flaming base, then it has been down to around
30fps

the screen instantly (no warning, slowdowns etc.) goes white!!

AH has encountered an error and must close, screen pops up.

there is no disco light comin on the cockpit that i have noticed.



thanks for the feedback guys!!

1boner I wouldnt complain that much as I had much more than that in the month of January with a total of 65 I believe.

On my part it seemed to be only AH as well.

When was the last time you updated XP.   About a month ago after updating xp I started 2 experience the same things.  Just about 2 weeks ago after updating my system I no longer get that ah2 as encountered an error do you want 2 send the message 2 blah blah.  

Have you just installed a new program?  Just updated XP?

Are you on FIOS or cable?  Because I did not know Verizon offered any type of cable Internet service.

Did you try running a PlingPlot over the connection?  
Any router between you and the servers can cause this.  
Any DHCP server can cause this.  
Are you on a PPPoE connection?  If so, the terminal server running the PPPoE can cause this problem.

And one final note.  At any given minute of the day, something is broken on the Internet.  It wll eventually hit you.
