Both LW arenas are on two different servers.  One of which is the same one we have been using for years.  Did it happen to be on the large terrain?

I experienced an oddity, sunday on montis map.. landed, /.efluffied, and was put in the tower on an _enemy_ base (map said so at least). no "you landed" or "kvuo75 landed x kills".  My brother, on the same connection, at the same time, had similar problem, but when he .efluffied, his put him in a forest somewhere, and told him he had to be stopped to end flight. he was about to reboot, I told him to wait, I think it's some kind of weirdo lag, sure enough about a minute later, we both get the landed successfully and landed x victories messages at the same time..  

have had zero problems with warping or discos lately, just these weird lags, twice.  

the other time I recall was a week or two ago where everything seems to still work fine, except planes stopped taking damage until some time later -- like about 100 20mm hitsprites dead on a p51 with no result. gave up on him, shot up someone else, same thing, go "wtf?" until a minute later when 2 kill messages and a bunch of text flood thru.  lots of people on country channel noticed this occurence. Lots of "wtf's"



we're on comcast, by the way :noid

Here is some information over the noise being made with Comcast. There are more links on that page describing what they are doing.

It is effecting all Comcast customers nationwide.

What is not clear yet, is if Road Runner is also doing the same thing. Not everyone is having a bad time of it. Some are having it worse than others and most people are being effected by many things right now.

Right now, there is no reliable way to tell what is a problem and what is not a problem with anyone on Comcast's network.

Just a bit of possible information...

the night before last (Monday the 26th) the entire squad witnessed the same text lag at the same time, it lasted about 3 seconds, and then went back to normal.

Last night (Tuesday the 27th) there were sporadic text lags 1/2 second or so, there weren't too many but multiple people in different locations witnessed the stutters at the same time.


It's not as huge as was a few years ago when you guys put in a different server, but it is sometimes noticeable.
I don't know what to put here yet.

Skuzzy I dont know but if I read what you posted right it doesnt look like you remembered to add the link to the information on Comcast.

I want you to know that last night on Titanic Tuesday I was seeing enemy contacts on radar in areas I should not be able to. As the con moved every thirty seconds or so it would show as a green dot and then disappear for thirty seconds. Once in visual range it was an enemy dot and red as usual.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

Isn't the text buffer/ login server different from the MA servers?  I have seen when people couldn't log into the game, the text buffer was also locked up.

Fixed the link Chalenge.

The login server is a different server on a different network.  Wherever the arena runs is where the comms also runs.

Ok, here are 2 100 sample plots from both LW arenas.





Now tonight I didn't notice any text lag in any orange arena.  Some in blue but nothing like before.  Other arenas were fine.

You have packet loss on every hop, starting with the first one, which is your immediate Internet coinnection.  Are you running a wireless router on your home network?  Are you running a router at all?

I would expect all types of odd problems with that kind of packet loss.  I can pretty much gaurantee you the server is the least of your problems.

Skuzzy...

I forgot to tell you the ping times in my email are all max pings.
Most of the people you meet in life are like slinkies. Pretty much useless, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Typically any wireless connection is going to suffer some amount of packet loss due to bit error rates.  No way to prevent it.

You problems stem right from your Internet connection itself.  I would try power cycling the router and see if it clears up that mess.  If not, it is time to give your ISP a shout.  Nothing on our end could cause the problems seen in that Ping Plot.
