I've been dealing with lots of discos too. Mine can be attributed to Comcast taking over. Roadrunner is way better than comcast. Comcast advertises being faster than Roadrunner but it's all lies. Their internet side is very weak.

I have Comcast at home and the connection is great. I almost never disco, but do have warp issues at times but I think that is just my crappy laptop's fault.

Download a program called pingplotter, it's free. Install it. Check out the sticky at the top of the tech support page and get the IP addresses for the servers. Type tat into the pingplotter and let it run for about 15 mins, or just after your disco.

Either take a screen shot of the page, or save the text version and either post it here, or send it to skuzzy

Believe me I'm trying, I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff. This the first PC game I've played and been having a great and error/lag free time till recent. I'll try that out.

Possibly - but Comcast has been getting unfavorable press over some questionable "traffic management policies", and not everyone who uses them seems to share your trouble-free experience - or share your willingness to assume it's their own equipment until proven otherwise.

I knew about Comcast dropping P2P torrents by sending fake reset packets, but I don't actually know anything about P2P. Does that use UDP? Does that mean AH would be affected by such shaping (I guess zero is a shape)?

I too have noticed some strangeness lately. Pingplotter won't show any problems, but AH will sometimes become unresponsive, taking many seconds, for example, to change fields or bring up status screens. This sometimes leads to a disco.

most p2p clients use udp, so if an isp is using some tech to disrupt udp traffic to discourage the use of p2p then it will have a follow on effect for any gaming over udp as well.
