How is the Main Arena connection for you?
« Reply #90 on: March 02, 2006, 12:08:47 AM »
Hard to say. Didnit check ping rate Tues night But everything seemed fine although I've been suffering through serious framerate drops as of late

Wed night checked ping rate to be 78-92
Var when I logged in was literally all over the place  but settled down somewhat after about 3,4 min. After that though it would run smooth then be inturrupted by very serious freezes in the game sometimes lasting 3,4 seconds at a clip, usually at bad times and thus making it very difficult to play.
On checking Net staus immediately after these events was showing my Var to be through the roof at the time of the freezups.
Dont know if its on my end or HTCs end. But I will monitor it over the next few days

better my ping actually drops below 200 now usually on old one it would hang out at around 230 or so and now I have seen it drop as low as 185. :)

Worse
Old one has more hops, but less hopping around, very noticeable in the arena select screen also. Not a huge difference flying.

One thing to note about traceroute and ping plots is that very often hosts in the trace which show as N/A or '***' or the like simply do not respond to ICMP echo requests, i.e. ping requests.

Additionally, many routers give a very low priority to ICMP traffic (pings) versus TCP/UDP traffic.

In the end, though, it's game performance that gives the best indication. If the game is slower, less responsive, or you experience more warping, that's definitely a problem.
