After a long time with no prblems, I suppose something was due to come up...

Got in fine this AM, looked around in MA and didnt find anything I was interested in. Went to DA, and right after logging got a "switch to TCP" message. Within seconds, was disco'ed and crashed to desktop.

Restarted program and tried to log in. I could see all arenas' info, but when I clicked on DA the "button" didnt go down, the mouse froze, and the game hardlocked. I had to windows tab out, and close AH.

Rebooted, and tried to enter MA. Got the texture load bars, and entered MA...but first message was the orange "TCP lost", adn I never saw the MOD. Game crashed again.

tried the DA once more, got the frozen button, and CTD.

Meanwhile the router seems to be working fine -- others in house playing other games w/o problem, and I can surf the net no problem at all.

I have XP pro, 2.6G pentium, 1G RAM, NVidia GForce 6600 GT, cable modem with router and home LAN.

HELP

HTC has been notified, and is aware.

I'm sure they working hard to get it back up and running.

There is something wrong at Savvis in St. Louis.

Simaril,

That happened to me. I gave my AH PC a static IP address and put it in my firewall-router's DMZ. And then I could connect - still dropped TCP but got connected.

You do not want to do that snak. It is a problem in Savvis's network, and our IP addresses will be changing next week.
