Roster and radio empty on connect
« on: January 28, 2009, 03:07:06 PM »
How come when I connect to an arena the roster shows 0 players, the radio is empty of squad members and I lose connection to host after waiting about a minute

Sounds like some serious packet loss. Either you're running A LOT of background processes (You can check this by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete), you have anti-spyware, anti-virus, or a firewall (Even windows firewall) running in the background, or your connection to HTCs servers is rotten somewhere along the hops.

A DxDiag and PingPlotter output would be useful.

For the DxDiag, go to Start>Run. Type in: dxdiag. Now press OK. Let the application load (Loading bar is located on the bottom left), then press the, "Save All Information..." button. Save the file to a location easy to locate, such as your desktop, then open that file. Copy the first third (1/3) of the file then paste it in a response here.

For your PingPlotter results, download PingPlotter: www.pingplotter.com
After you encounter another disconnect, run a PingPlotter trace on the Arena's IP Address you disconnected from. Run that trace about 15 minutes. Afterward go to Edit>Copy as Text. Now paste what was just copied to your clipboard in a response here.

Remember, the results of your PingPlotter output will be more accurate if you run them for 15 minutes directly after you're booted from one of the arenas.
