Post by: Skuzzy on March 01, 2006, 01:01:56 PM

We do not need any really verbose posts, just a general, "better", "same", or "worse" comment. If you want to add something, please add traceroute's or Ping Plotter (http://www.pingplotter.com/) links to the following IP addresses:

New Location 206.123.111.42
Old Location 206.16.60.38

Thank you for your support!

Furball, the 206.123.111.42 address is the new collocation address. Yours is better to it.

Different collocation ISP Fork. Same server.

Worse, continuing the trend of getting worse every time you change servers or providers.

As of right now, ping on clipboard for MA now bounces around between 175-185, pwhile other arenas are 240-250. Before yesterday, it was about 80-100 for MA and 150-170 for others.

guess I'll have to pay for my sins, eh?

What I have noticed is that on first IP (206.123.111.42) I always get same ping times (50ms), on the second IP(206.16.60.38) pings vary between 45ms and 55ms

All in all pings are better for about 20ms in average.

Bullet Head, You have it backwords I belive, the MA is the new server i.e. the one with better ping times and less hops for you.

Bullethead, everything after your second hop is moot. That is where your trouble starts. Have you forwarded this to anyone at Level3 yet? I would. I'll also be pointing the potential new ISP/collocation to this thread and see what they think as well.

The new location is twice as and stable for me both in terms of delay and variance.

So, less hops, less latency, but 50% increase in the number of hops that have almost total packet loss.

In-game it seems better, but only a little. <-- EDIT: I meant my connection was pretty good as it was.

My connect with TW cable from Hawaii takes 3 less hops and 20 ms faster on the new server but consitently has 1-2% packet loss @ hop 14. Zero packet loss on the old server. I will post my results from Guam DSL when I get there Sunday.

Well, I've only flown a bit last night on the new system so my opinion ain't informed yet. However, the fact remains that every time you change something, my ping appears to go up a little on the clipboard arena list. It's been doing that every time since AH started, so is now showing a ping about 50% higher than it was on the 1st day of AH1.

Granted, I live WAY out in the sticks, have a very crappy dial-up connection (no broadband available here) that could still not be quite back to normal after Katrina, and I'm usually drunk whenever I deal with AH. But this incremental ping increase with each server/provider change has been a seemingly constant factor.

I don't understand anything at all about how any of this works, don't know what Level3 is, and have no clue how to contact anybody there. And what's that got to do with me getting a new ISP? I've got Earthlink, but I didn't see them anywhere on the hops anyway, so it doesn't seem to be their problem.

I'm not trying to be a jerk here and say it's all your fault, I just honestly don't have a clue about any of this stuff.

Earthlink is leasing Level3 dialup service and using them for your connection. So send the traces to Earthlink, as that is where the problem starts. It cannot get any better until you get them to figure out why the first hop is loosing packets and/or timing out.

Ping at login screen was anywhere from 43-54.

The new connection has my pings at login at 14-16.

I'll run a trace route later.

New location seems slightly slower from the UK, 136ms instead of 122 ms, but the new route has three less hops.

I was pretty happy with the old connect, but very occasionally (once a fortnight, if that) it would freak out. Planes would start microwarping and netstat would look like a mountain range. After 10 or 20 seconds of this it would go back to normal.

New connect is much better for me - running about 30ms with 12 hops vs about 55ms with 17 hops to the old IP.

Take a look at the next to last hop going to the old IP (I repeated several times with similar results, its just plain flaky right now).

Little worse.

Same # of hops, ~10% higher average latency with noticable spikes in game. First (nonmap reset) disco I've had in maybe a year.

Worse. 7the and 9th hops showing packet loss repeatedly. Occasionally shows 10% PL at the server, but not nearly as often as 7 and 9.

After further review.. and playing with the Ping Plotter.

AVG Ping for old about 84
AVG Ping for the new about 78.

However I am getting frequent and as much as 50% packet loss on my 9th hop on the new (someplace in Dallas). 209.244.15.161

On the old I never saw more than about 10% packet loss that might pop up on several different hops.

I would guess that means the new is not my cup of tea!

Although the summary shows no packet loss, the graphical showed repeated loss at several hops -- I think 3 and 17. Three had up to 30%

My ping is better overall, but I find the old connection was more stable overall. With the old ISP the variations would always be about the same while with the new one when I'm having a bad day my pings are worse than with the old. Same with FRs in game. I'm actually up to 85 from around 70, but with the old 1 I could always count on about 70. With this one there's times for no reason my FR drops into the 50s? Only for short periods of time however and not enough to effect game play. I'd say overall I think it was a move for the better.

Seems about the same but packet loss seems less. Was getting errors of up to 72 after only online for about 10 minutes. Now I get errors of about 2 within a 2 hour session online. Checked using the Dialup Connection Status in WinXP just before I log off.

Hard to say. Didnit check ping rate Tues night But everything seemed fine although I've been suffering through serious framerate drops as of late

Wed night checked ping rate to be 78-92
Var when I logged in was literally all over the place but settled down somewhat after about 3,4 min. After that though it would run smooth then be inturrupted by very serious freezes in the game sometimes lasting 3,4 seconds at a clip, usually at bad times and thus making it very difficult to play.
On checking Net staus immediately after these events was showing my Var to be through the roof at the time of the freezups.
Dont know if its on my end or HTCs end. But I will monitor it over the next few days

One thing to note about traceroute and ping plots is that very often hosts in the trace which show as N/A or '***' or the like simply do not respond to ICMP echo requests, i.e. ping requests.

Additionally, many routers give a very low priority to ICMP traffic (pings) versus TCP/UDP traffic.

In the end, though, it's game performance that gives the best indication. If the game is slower, less responsive, or you experience more warping, that's definitely a problem.

feem is quite right.

One thing I did forget to ask about, and that is who your ISP is, and what region of the world are you located in? Thank you all again for the help.

Also, when you say 'worse', 'better', or 'same', is that based on game play or other information?

<--On Dial-up. Connection is the best I've seen. Savvis was marginal, ATT looked like a fine tooth comb every night, and this one is actually a tad below the redline on the net status. First time I've seen that since I started.

My ISP is SBC and I am located in Northeast Ohio (Cleveland Area). When I previously said same, I meant my ping sample on login screen. On the old server, my ping was 62 and under the new server my ping is fluctuating between 47 and 63. Game play has not been affected.

Post by: forHIM on March 02, 2006, 08:05:38 AM

ping times now fluctuate from slightly better to slightly worse. Game play last night had many small warps that were not there before (could have been the massive furball I tended to be in).

ISP -- charter cable in the twin cities, MN area.

Worse, based on 10 traceroutes - averaging 156ms (21 hops) to 206.16.60.38 and 194ms (18 hops) to 206.123.111.42. Also, in the arena selection screen, ping times to other arenas are lower than to MA. TeliaSonera ADSL (8/1Mbps), Tampere, Finland.

Title: How is the Main Arena connection for you?
Post by: PhilBGolf on March 02, 2006, 09:09:52 AM

My ping time is down to the low 30's (previously mid-70's), but I can't stay connected. Keep getting discoed after about 3 minutes every time I sign on. Bellsouth DSL located just outside of Pensacola Florida. Other arenas unaffected.

One thing I did forget to ask about, and that is who your ISP is, and what region of the world are you located in? Thank you all again for the help.

Also, when you say 'worse', 'better', or 'same', is that based on game play or other information?

ISP is CMC.net. Location off the beaten path in Eastern Oregon 60 miles NW of Boise, Idaho.

Im not sure what bearing this has on anything, but normally when I logged into the arena, the ping for it would be at 70-80. Now its down to 65.

Based on PingPlotter alone, new connection is slightly worse - old=44ms, new=57ms. Concerned about hop 10 on the new connection, 100% packet loss. 2 more hops to new connection. Have not tried in-game yet.

Do not be concerned about that hop. There is a router in the path which has blocked ICMP ECHO requests so it will always show up like that.

Game experience is the same or a little bit worse. Looks like more players around are warping.

OOPS OK adding info.

Hops same 16 old 16 new.

ISP dialup Outdrs.net. Nevada. No cable or DSL available. :(

I do seem to get allot of switching on 2 of the hops. Last digit of hop address seems to change every hop? Pingplotter set to poll every second.

Yesterday AFTER I posted the 1st time I connected, my connect seemed to go back to the way it used to be? But now in the mornings where it used to be better? My Shots lookin like they go right through the cons?

Wonder if the new AH ISP is just concentrating on makin the connect nice for a few days to insure payment then ignore us? Then again maybe just a short term glich somewhere?

So connect seems maybe worse? Will repost in 2 or 3 days to see if it improves to at least where it used to be.

Title: Connection has gotten considerebly worse!!
Post by: lien on March 02, 2006, 06:46:40 PM

Overall my ping times have not really changed all that much. New ISP average is at 48ms compared to 41ms for the old ISP. What really is frustrating is that since the change has been the fact that I can not log into the MA for for then 10 mins, usually it'll be only about 30 secs. to 1 min. though, before losing UDP and getting lost host connection message and being sent to the desktop. With the old ISP if I were to lose lose UDP the switch to TCP would complete after about 20 secs. and then I could continue with my session. Albeit at a small increase in varience and host queue time but nothing a relogg wouldn't fix. Pingplot is included for your review. Seems like the problem is in Dallas. If my interpretation of the p/p result is correct. From the last hop in L.A. out to Dallas to be more specific.

Also, when you say 'worse', 'better', or 'same', is that based on game play or other information?

ISP- Comcast

Region- New Jersey USA

ISP- TDS Telecom
Region- West Central IN.

Pingplotter shows almost constant packet loss in the evenings, higher ping times all day, relative to the old ISP.

Game experience- Repeatedly lose UDP, Net-Stat looks like an EKG, and lots of lagging/warping. Not good so far.

Same based on pingplotter (same ping time of ~50 ms, ~same # hops, 12 - 14) and same gameplay. Mediacom Southern California.

(Doesn't count lost packets. My cable ISP loses packets at such a high rate that they pay a guy come in each evening and sweep them off the server room floor and illegally dispose of them in the middle of the night in the local landfill.)

A little better went from 147ms to avg 127ms. Haven't played online since the change (just checked ping times). Will play this weekend to see if gameplay is changed (previously gameplay was good).

Playing from Trinidad (Caribbean) on local ISP TSTT.

Anybody else here from the Caribbean?

I'm seeing the same thing Hajo mentioned with the packet loss at Dallas1Level3.net. Ping times a bit worse than they used to be, and I never used to see any packet loss.
Dunno how accurate this observation is, but I'm seeing some "jitters" when I get within 200 of an enemy (they will jump from 200 to 100 and back) and lot's of "Rubber Bullets". I have no idea if that is due to the change - I have been drinking less so maybe that's the problem...:rolleyes:

So your system isn't pausing/freezing while it waits for an update of information to come back from the server?????

I have noticed significant, at least to me, differences in AH when more people are online.

This may be due to the connection time of others versus my own connection.

I have come to believe it is useless for me to try and shoot anyone down in a big furball. I have to fly on the edges looking for 1 or 2 to fight and if they go into a furball I best break off.

I SEEM to get rubber bullets when I jump into a furball anymore. Didn't used to, but lately.

Latency? Smoothing code? Not sure what but it SEEMS like what I see and what is actually happening are different. Often LOOKS like when I fire in a big furball my shots go right through the target or are somehow slowed down and fall short? I THINK I track the same and fire the same away from a big furball and SEEMS like I hit way more often?????

Not trying to blame anything or anyone just trying to figure out what is happening.................... ...... looking for a reason I guess.

In general, a pause in the screen is related to the CPU being busy or the video card stalling. The more players there are in your area, the more data your computer has to process.
If you select game settings which overload your video card, then you can experience stutters as well.

Post by: g00b on March 03, 2006, 04:45:49 PM

Went from 20 to 15 hops = good, ping went up from 50 to 60 = bad. Gameplay and in-game netstatus were the best I've ever seen. Overall, I'd have to say "better".

Skuzzy and HT, I have a suggestion and I have never seen an official position to it.

What do you think about implementing minimum connection standards? For the most part the game plays beautifully, but then there's 1 out of 50 or so who warps 1k or more at a time, for everyone chasing him. Really ruins the moment, ya know?

How 'bout < 500ms with minimal P/L? This should still allow anyone on the planet with a decent connection to play. Even that standard is quite generous but I guarentee there are folks flying around in the MA with worse connections than that. You might lose 1 percent of your customers, but the gameplay will increase 100% and that will attract more customers.

My 2 cents!

Please don't go into implimenting connection standards. That idea might be feasible if I were the sole person in complete control of my connection, but as the ping plots show, there are other hops involved in carrying that connection through, any one of which can "hiccup" at any time.

I'm on dail-up. In this corner of the desert, a better connection will not happen for at least a few years. I'm happy to actually get below 200!

Post by: g00b on March 03, 2006, 05:18:45 PM

Thunder, you enjoy playing at 500+ ping? Trust me, this is a very generous minimum standard, I can't imagine that anyone would actually want to play with a worse connection than that? What's the point? Frustrating people for fun? Even on a modem from anywhere on the planet 500ms is do-able. And if you can't manage it for whatever reason, is that fair to impose on the rest of us? That's like driving 25mph on the freeway, it just pisses everyone off. Sacrifice for the greater good my man.

Title: How is the Main Arena connection for you?
Post by: ThunderEGG on March 03, 2006, 05:34:04 PM

I did not say I play at 500 ping. My statement saying that I am now below 200 on ping is not proof that I enjoy playing at 500. I have never had a 500 ping rate. I am saying that no one is in complete control of the connection from thier end, as stated earlier.

To continue the car analogy. If your car breaks and you cannot maintain the speed limit, or even close, do you stay on the road and continue to piss everyone off or do you pull off and fix it?

I really can't imagine why anyone would protest a minimum connection standard. It would simply not be an enjoyable experience for anyone involved who can not meet a 500ms no P/L standard.

Several other games I play have Minimum Connection Standards and it GREATLY enhances gameplay.

Post by: ThunderEGG on March 03, 2006, 06:06:24 PM

So when there is a problem with a hop halfway down the ping plot, I should cease and desist my account for the greater glory of the calbe/dsl empire? I keep my connect as clean as possible. I do relog when there is a problem, and I log off for the night when that problem is elsewhere through the trace beyond my control. BUT I AM KEEPING MY ACCOUNT.

Title: How is the Main Arena connection for you?
Post by: g00b on March 03, 2006, 06:22:22 PM

Thunder, you said "I have never had a 500 ping rate." So why is this a problem for you? I get the feeling you are playing devil's advocate. And I never suggested that your account (or anyone's) be cancelled, simply dis-connected until you can resolve your connection issues.

I really don't understand your arguement.

I presume you a referencing the 1% part. The 1% potential customer loss would only be the people who are simply incapable of ridding their computers of spyware and choosing a decent ISP. Anyone who cares enough to set their system up properly and find a decent ISP can meet my previously stated minimum. And to those who can't, all 3 or 4 ya, sorry. The AH world will be better for your sacrifice.

Skuzzy, outbreak and I are in the same boat, before the move no problems after the move all kinds of stuff is happening mine freezes, disco's, etc etc.

Now from a layman's POV nothing has changed on our end but something has changed on your end. The next thing we hear from HTC is that it cannot be caused by the move to the new server because ping times are better. Our refain is "it wasn't happening prior to the move". On it goes round and round, but I have to tell ya that if it remains like it is now I will be unable to continue because the game at the moment is, for me, unplayable.

Boxboy,

I see you are in Tucson. Maybe it is an Arizona thing. I am down in Sierra Vista. Last night I flew in the MA for the first time since the change and saw a bunch of "wierdness". No discos fortunately, but had someone comment to me about "nice warp" and saw some warps. I shot a YAK point blank with a K4, had parts slam into my plane (thought I collided) and then the YAK just didn't exist anymore. No kill credit, no falling plane, no explosion, it just ceased to exist as if it had never been there.

My other Tucson based Arizona squaddie and I could not agree on our DAR. He would see my DAR counter over A10 and be looking to join up with me, I was flying over A53.

So I echo your comments. I can't explain WHY.. only that it IS. And these are issues that didn't exist prior to the change.

The server is physically the same server. Identical. It is just connected to a different ISP.

And you can completely disregard the amount of video ram being reported as used. We discovered that number to not be reported correctly for many video cards/drivers.
When HT says freezes (we define a freeze as the game just stopping for some period of time, usually not recoverable without a reboot) do not have anything to do with the server connection, you can bet he knows what he is talking about as he wrote the code.

Who said ot cannot be the server because ping times are better? The server is the same server. Identical. Phyiscally moved from one location to another.
Sure, net connects can be different. it is to be exepcted. How different? We really cannot know until we try. But game freezes, as we define them, cannot be caused by the network/Internet. HT wrote the code, he would know.
We cannot make a decision on any ISP in a matter of days. At any given time of the day, there is always something wrong on the Internet. You can take that to the bank.
It is prudent to give a different ISP some time to see how they respond to problems, and see if the problems (if any) are chronic.

I know I have already posted and it is better but on ATT every night at about 8 or 9 pm Mountain time I would get nasty lag, my net status looked like a comb and vox.. welll I could hear every other word from my squad. This was real bad on squad night. So far I can hold a fairly steady line on the net status and no vox loss. ThndrEgg had done a ping plot (we live 500 ft apart) and for the first time in our AH history all jumps come up green most of the time. Amazing for our anciant dial up connections out here in the desert. :)

All I can say is I really really reallly hope you guys go with this new ISP.

NO! As stated previously, we need 5+ threads on the same subjects, and "compile all of the data" into 5 more threads. :D

Damn, yer a BK, you should have heard that from Stang!

My ping has remained the same over the change. It's <200ms and I live in Finland. I didn't run Ping Plotter before the change so I can't say about hops.

Well I've been playing everynight and in the daytime since the switch and I seem to be about 3 seconds behind on everything but the voice. Icons appear then disapear, warping is real bad. I drop in on the tail of a fighter only to fire a burst and then he shows up 2.5k out. bombers are no different, only thing thier is i'm either dead because they get me or they are to far out. I have broadband 1.5 up 1.5 down. ping time on main screen is about 78 which was better than the 93 before but it is misleading. Lag and warping were rare prior to the change for me. Now thats all I have, it really is a disapointment and most of the time unplayable for me now.

One other thing I would like to mention about the new server location...On the previous ISP's/locations my ping to the server would get longer and longer the more people that were online. For example if there were only 200 people online I would get my usual 62 ping. If there were 500 people online it would jump to 115 or something. With the new location my ping is always the same regardless of numbers, 31.

I log on from Australia - ping used to be around 300, now it's around 200. However, I now get a lot of warps - naturally, these happen between d400 and d200. Bad enough to cause collisions as con "backs up" into me.

Im coming in from New Zealand. I get prob 20 millisec improvement on my ping times at most. Ive had one disco so far (thats fairly average with your old ISP, about 2-3 disocs per month). Noticed some yucky warping round last night when i got up close to 2 Ki-61s. Its the only time ive noticed it with your new ISP (for something which i *cant* explain - eg flatmate downloading a huge binary...). The warps were also confirmed from my wingman (in aussie) so it wasnt just my connection.

I've been getting Disco'd frequently Skuzzy. My connection is not all that fast only 3M but before the new server I was not losing UDP everytime bombs dropped around me.It's nothing to major and I've learned to live with it but if it's something that can be done from your end I would really appreciate it.:aok

Post by: DoKGonZo on March 06, 2006, 01:09:04 PM

I haven't checked pings, but I have noticed that I have a much higher incidence of not getting hit sprites on this new server. I notice this most ground gunning against bombers - they'll just suddenly burst into flames and then go down (I get the kill, so I know it was me hitting them) and I saw no hit sprites at all.

Likewise on the 5" guns from ships, sometimes there will be no flak bursts at planes being fired at. But they still go down.

Skuzzy/HT fow what it's worth, I originally posted on page 3 that my old PingPlotter was 44ms and my new was 56ms (a whole 11ms difference :P). I just did a similar 5 minute test to each site; the old one still sits at 44ms but the new one has dropped to 46ms.

I read the new ISP was working on things so I thought you might want new information.

Have not noticed any change in-game but then again have not played much.

Post by: TalonX on March 10, 2006, 12:16:08 PM

I guess it's moot, I heard you were changing back to the former ISP?

My experience is that the GV frame rate stinks - flying frame rate is good as before.

I typically run near the max refresh of 75 and more like 50 in GVs....GV's has been down to 20 ish at times...flying stays high enough not to notice.

No discoes for me, but some squaddies suffering.

One squaddie can't play - frame rates are so bad. Had no prior issues.

The old location is better for me. I'm located in Southern California. My broad-band connection speeds are:

Download speed = 9526 kbps

Upload speed = 1101 kbps

Sure liked the old server better. I know you want to give them a chance to try to fix the new one, but this is not any fun. :(
