Package loss 60%
« on: May 04, 2002, 04:23:16 PM »
Sorry, i know this belongs to the Internet Connectivity Forum but im getting a withdrawal syndrome.
First of all german (european?) players have a problem to get into the MA. Since 2 days I have packet loss about 60% and when I get into MA I get the following message:
Not receiving updates switched to TCP.

All other arenas work very well. I really would appreciate it if someone could explain the cause of this problem! Maybe HT a little statement?

Thx

Recently from what I've seen duedal, its only those of us in Germany having the problem.  I can't get into the MA at all anymore :(

Must be a Deutsche Telekom problem.

No Kronos that is not a Telekom problem. We checked that.
It`s a HTC Problem.
And i hope they fix the Problem soon.

Greets,

What you guys with poor conns need is a protocol Norwegians built some time ago: Protocol RFC1149 :)

I presume you have a T-Online account - then it's the same problem I'm having. Some Telekom router went down, pings of 300+ and 75% PL resulting. ATM, I use call2surf, which works fine. Duedel, you might want to check http://www.heise.de and look up the Internettarife.

OT, I got my k/d ratio to > 1.0 :D feeling fine...

I don't have the problems you mention, Duedel. Not even at times when the Main hits 400+ players. 160-170ms ([trace via alter.net] which is damn good for the distance) and fairly stable host queue/ping times. Sometimes I'm glad I'm not a T-Offline user :D ;)

Never had a problem with the Telekom. Why MA dont work and all other arenas work well?
Thx for ur suggestion dtx but I'm not willing to pay for other providers when I have a flat rate (not yet, maybe in 2 days :D). Hope to see u soon in MA :)

The Main Arena is on a differant server than the CT,TA,DA,SEA etc.
That may go some way toward explaining why the MA is unreachable for you when the rest are fine.
