Author Topic: nearly 50% PL to AH servers (Read 971 times)

wetrat · « **on:** May 09, 2007, 12:36:27 AM »

The last week or so, I've been having a LOT of connection problems with AH. Until recently, mostly lost UDP, discos, and warpiness. The last few days, however, I've had about 50% packet loss to the servers. Obviously, this makes it impossible to play, or even maintain a connection. I started up a few other online games to see if my connection is just FUBAR, but everything else runs smooth; normal pings, 0% PL.

What gives? I'm in Ontario (Toronto).. routing issue? Some kind of obscure setting I'm missing here? Never had connection issues with AH on this isp.

Have you run ping plotter? It should tell you where the drop is happening. I suspect somewhere between you and HTC there is a bad hop.

cheers,

I second that. I had issues with UDP, ran ping plotter and found the issue, wasn't HTC's servers in my case.

Since the fix, I haven't had a single disco..

I believe....

You have to run Ping Plotter right after a disco, and use the GAME server IP.

I lost the info on the game servers ip

MajWoody is correct and you have the wrong IP to ping to.
From Skuzzy's post in Tech support forum, which by the way will have the most current IPs to ping:
Early, Mid, Late War Orange Main Arena Server Address: 206.16.60.39
Axis vs Allies, Training, Dueling, Late War Blue: 206.16.60.38
Special Events: 206.16.60.37

Timewarner is having a ton of issues right now , i'm in ny and the migration from adelphia to TW has been terrible . I read about a lawsuit comming out of California against TW due to poor /non functioning service . Were you an adelphia customer at one time?

froger · « **Reply #11 on:** May 16, 2007, 08:43:15 PM »

I believe it was comcast befor time warner.
Hate to beat the dead horse some more but my connection was great up till the last patch...im just sayin...

thinking i might have pc issues as well.
dang this sucks bad.
