Title: Atlas.cogentco.com....................................
Post by: 1Boner on October 17, 2012, 06:49:44 PM

My connection to the game has been pretty bad as of late and consequently keeping from playing the game.

The "ping" screen in game is showing me bouncing from 70 to 90 to 70 to 100 to 80 to 150 etc.

I downloaded pingplotter and discovered quite a bounce when I start hitting the atlas.cogentco.com servers. (there seem to be 4 or 5 of them in a row)

Is there anything I can do to remedy this? Or am I just done for?


Thanks.

I need to see the Ping Plot so I can run some tests.  The best plots would be done when the problems are occurring as I cannot duplicate what you are saying during the day.

When you run the ping plots, do it to both the new arena and old arena;

New: 66.151.248.2
Old: 206.16.60.38

That way I can compare the results with the test I will also run.

Heres a thread on how to post pictures.

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,327528.0.html

Run pingplotter for 10 minutes or so pinging every second or so. Take a screen shot by hitting the "print screen" button on your keyboard (2 keys after the F12 button) Open windows paint and paste the screen shot there. Save it as a gif someplace you can find it and then follow the directions in the other thread to host and post it.

Good luck.
