Ping Plotter Question

[Molsman]

I saw the post about this from way over 20 years ago but never concerned me then .

How do I run the Ping Plotter to see where I am having issues with the Servers for here and I am dumb when it comes to this stuff ? Mainly when it comes to Downloading New Terrains,,, Yes I make a player arena to download the terrains I want and need , but my issue for me the server keeps timing out and i have to keep resuming my downloads and I have also tried to get them in offline mode but same story what should usually be a fast download it takes me many resumes and almost close to 30 minutes so I am just curious if it is on my end or the file server host.

I have attached my dx report also just in-case and what my internet test was in photos. I know i have alot of wifi connections but my PC i run a cabled from tower to router.

Thanks in Advance

You want to run a Tracert? I misplaced the IP to the MA, I think it shows in game. Maybe network screen.
In windows
1. Press the Windows Key + R to open the Run window, or search for cmd in the Start menu.
2. Type cmd and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.
3. Type the command with your target (for example: tracert google.com) and press enter

Replace google.com with the MA IP address

I don't know about your area, but in mine Xfinity went to pure crap, inconsistent, uploads were hell, WIFI constantly dropping out, pages timing out.

AT&T had a sale (maybe still do) for Optic Fiber. To convert you save $30 from $90. Because I have AT&T phone I get another %20 break and auto-pay $10. I'm paying $30 for Optic Fiber for a yr, then to $70.

Optic Fiber is killer.

You can get the PingPlotter Download here

Its free, install it and open it. In the top left box type in 47.190.119.207 (MA IP Address) then hit the "trace" button on the bottom left. I think on the bottom....going from memory here, so good luck .... it should tell you the ping time in milli-seconds, (Ms) You can change how often it sends a ping. (hit the stop button, and there should be a dropdown box near that button where you can type in the timing. I like to do ever 5-10 seconds, hit trace again)

If your losing connection you should see the ping time getting longer and longer as it is throttled back. A fairly steady ping time is a good ping time.

For maps, you dont need to open a custom arena, that's un needed overhead on your system.  Start the game and log in. Then click "choose maps". When that window opens use the slide bar to find the map you want and click on it. This will light the "download button. Click it and the download of that map will run. See if it is quicker that way.

Thanks guys ,,, I have tried that way also Fugi and it slows down and looses connection say Host Server Connection Lost.  I will play around with it more and maybe one day I Will download all the Maps I need instead of waiting til the last minute
