WTF... is there anyway to curb this warping... why is it that somedays everything is fine and somedays everything is jacked up?? I have more days with crappy warping than i have with good playing.. I dont even change anything on my computer even.... whats the deal, can anyone tell me?? i have DXDIAG myself to death... ping plotted (no packet loss), FSAUTOstart (shut down everything short of my computer), scanned for viruses, scanned for spyware, cleaned hard drive, defrag'd.... what is next???? I have a cable modem... all other games work great... is the game being upgraded to such an extent that us poor folks are gonna get screwed again?

Not trying to be a smart bellybutton or anything,
but have you ran the trace when the warping happens? as you said your self some days are good some are bad, You are on a cable modem i.e. a shared connection so if you are alone on the concentrator, then you have a good connection but if others are on the same concentrator, then you all are sharing the bandwidth, who is you service provider ?
I have looked back thru you other post and I only see one trace, that looks ok at the time the trace was ran, I assume you are using XP, if so run the following the next time you see the warping. Then post the output. : from the cmd prompt: run "Pathping 206.16.60.39" (without the quotes)
Also keep in mind that warps may not be on your end etc....

then next time it happens, log out, run the trace and then post the output.

Sorry for the slow response,

Hop 10 shows a time out, but, it looks like the trace did not get to complete, as there should have been a detailed report for each hop.

but without the detail, it would be guess work.
