Title: Connection seems unstable today
Post by: capera on September 26, 2015, 12:26:21 PM

Woke up this morning and attempted to put in a few flights.

Constantly losing UDP, switching to TCP.

Ran Ping Plotter and got this (see attached)

Anyone else experiencing difficulties?

From the look of the ping plot, the prob seems to be at the server, and most should be having a problem.

Ran the game last night, no issues. This morning.....impossible to play.

Next to the last ping is always like that, something about being set not to return the echo ping blah blah blah.

Im thinking with the Pope visit the internet must be a bit messed up. Heck it could be a solar flare  :x What do i know.

The problem is the return path.  Anytime you see packet loss at the last hop, it is always the return path having an issue.  Ping Plotter cannot show the return path and any packet loss in that path will be shown in the last two reportable hops.

The 100% packet loss is just due to that particular router not honoring the ICMP ECHO packet used in pings/traces/Ping Plotter.
