Strange connection loss only to Orange/TT
« on: August 17, 2010, 07:59:39 PM »
I'm having connection issues only when in LWO or Titanic Tuesday. The strange thing is, the Text Buffer continues to scroll, I can even continue to receive VOX right up to the millisecond that the Host Connection Lost box pops up. It's as if the host is kicking me. I've run PingPlotter immediately after the last three disconnects and at worst I have a 4% packet loss over 50 one-second samples at one of the final hops through AT&T.

I can sit through an entire Scenario from just fine, but my connection tends to not hold through two hours if I play in LWO/TT. I have two autorecorded films that were created as the client dumped, if they can be any assistance.
A Rook who first flew 09/26/03 at the age of 13, has been a GL in 10+ Scenarios, and was two-time Points and First Annual 68KO Cup winner of the AH Extreme Air Racing League.

Packet loss like that will cause discos.  The client will disconnect you on that type of packet loss.  Particularly if it happens in before all the arena data can be downloaded to you.

If the packet loss was showing up on the last or next to the last hop, then the packet loss is happening on the return trip to your computer.

The server does not have the ability to disconnect you.
