Server Delay - Cons/Msgs/Disconnects

[kevoh]

As the title of the thread states I am having consistent trouble with some basic things such as conning / hailing mobs, or even replying to messages.

My internet is fine when this happens and I see zero sign of a disconnect on my latency and I am often streaming music (which never drops).

As of tonight I have been getting disconnected from the server frequently as well.

[kevoh]

Seriously, what the fuck is up with these huge ass delays. I casted SOW - loaded up my browser - and it still hasnt casted on my char as I have typed this entire message.

[Oleris]

I've been having the same issues. Can't cast a spell, send a message, /camp or anything else for about 15 seconds. half the time I will go LD

[Rhun]

Started having those problems too today.
First I noticed a delay when casting spells, but the ping was fine. Then the ping suddenly went up and I never finished zoning.
Couldnt log in for a while after that and other connection to the server problems.
Right now I am still having quite some delay in spell casting, conning and zoning takes ages.

[Oleris]

I'm still having issues. Zero ping issues and my internet connection still allows me to do everything else. having a real tough time soloing with the issues.

[Oleris]

I updated nvidia drivers, installed luclin graphics again and it appears to be fixed for now. Random that I was having issues for past 3 days, will let you know if issues come back.

[Oleris]

cancel that. Still having issues with LD :( Died a couple times due to server problems that aren't on my own end. These have only started in the past week.

[Salamarr]

I was fine yesterday - today I am having these issues. I checked my connection and it's fine.

[Oleris]

I talked to a GM last night about it, they were saying it is probably on our end. Do you have TWC by any chance?

[Salamarr]

Yup TWC. We had an outage this morning, it resolved but then this issue was happening in EQ. I did fix it, I turned my cable modem off, router off, turned it back on and hit reset switch on cable modem. I waited until it was fully booted and then plugged my router back in and I have been good since then.

[Oleris]

I've re-booted my router several times. I was told that it was potentially throttling by TWC by a GM. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a TWC only issue. I also restarted my modem and it did not fix the issue. Needless to say, I won't be trying to solo the rest of 59.

[Bagelstein]

I have RCN cable in MA, US, and I have this issue consistently. Long periods of spellcasting delays, conning delays, etc. Rebooted modem and router a few times to see if it was me, but I have no lag issues elsewhere in my online experience.

Is there a port or something I can forward to for p99? Anything I can screw with on router settings maybe? This is making charm kiting impossible...

[Derubael]

If you could all post your ISP's and location, that'd be helpful.

I've noticed a bit of lag here and there, but it clears quickly. It's possible there's an issue with the way your connection is being routed to us. Sometimes one of those links slows down and certain people get issues. If any of you are up to it, do a tracert rogean.com from the command prompt and copy/paste your results.

[Bagelstein]

definitely some weirdness. below is the traceroute from my mac; I can do it from the PC later. not sure why it just dies at the 10th hop.

I've ran tracert to project 1999.org over the past week with the issues. sometimes rogean would be around 80-100, othertimes it would be around 150.

my ISP is Time Warner Cable from socal, I will edit out my IP adress from the ping test

a diriect tracert to rogean.com gave me:

my usual ping is 65is 75ish in EQ, it's now 100ish and it's the only thing that lags

also a TWC user, it's kind of annoying

[Rogean]

This seems to be isolated to TWC or a common carrier they use (RCN? Framingham has so many other options. FIOS.. Probably Comcast too...).

There's nothing I can do from this side, just need to wait for them to clear up whatever it is.

It's just strange that this popped up just a week ago. Hopefully it will clear up soon, thanks for the response though.

[Vidrata]

having same issues at my friends house. He's using DSL from frontier. Tracert dies on the 5th hope but gets rerouted to somewhere in chicago and goes on its way to you; around 15 jumps.

Below is a tracert x3. 2 out of 3 its bad pings, but that shouldnt effect the connect to get in game; considering the game was played with worse on dial.

Well, I found someone else that has TWC and plays on the server. He happens to live in the same city as me and lives 5 minutes away. We both experience the issues at the same exact time. 2 "True" Linkdeads tonight where the 100% slowly went down at identical times, but the internet was still working. Here's hoping TWC fixes it.

yeap it sucks. multiple disconnects this evening from just the server, rest of internet is perfectly fine.

[Bagelstein]

so I think I mostly resolved this by throttling my mumble... somehow it was eating my internets alive. not sure if that helps anyone else.

[kevoh]

Don't use voice chat when this occurs.
