Trakanons teeth

[Wawaka]

Im getting up to 5k ping everytime i zone into TT

And im hearing of other ppl having the same issue, could we have this looked at?

[nilbog]

Never had this happen to me. Since it only happens to some people, we need to narrow down what is different about those people...

i.e.
PC stats:
OS: Windows 7 pro
CPU: Dual core amd
Video Card: Geforce

Connection: Comcast cable
Wired/Wireless(?) - Wired

Optional EQ mods:
High res textures (y/n?) - N
Wineq2.0 (y/n?) - Y

Anything else you can think of?

I believe it has something to do with desync caused by unstable internet connection as everyone who has the problem seems to have garbage internet. One person I know who has this issue is brennard, who plays often and might be a good person to discuss this with.

Tt is fine for me and I'm playing on a pos

[Bamzal Sherbet]

Allow me to reiterate this sentiment

what i notice is that the server loses track of you (breaks) with even a slight blip in the connection speed. like 1 dropped packet and ur screwed. Like it needs better QA server-side


Also these add some nice details regarding exactly when the desynch occurs:

when i zone in i'll see guildchat/tells of when i was logging into the zone then nothing works after.

When I zone into EJ/TT it takes a little while longer than any other zones to load.

When the UI and everything comes up after zoning, 2 to 3 seconds later there is a massive lag that lasts for a second or two and then everything is fine.

I can only assume that the time period when the massive lag occurs is where the desyncs are occuring.


Don't think it has anything to do with ur PC, just poor connection.

I don't understand how this could be an issue with the internet connection.

Every other zone on the server loads fine and the issue above does not happen -- only in Trakanon's Teeth and Emerald Jungle.

For me anyway.

ping test to seattle cuz thats where your connection is bottle necked if you live up here alaska.


Now here is whats up imo, Connection

here is a ping test with 30% chance of desync in TT
I think the 30% chance come from the fact i live in alaska ( very far from server, even though connection is good, it acts like its not so good)

here is a ping test with 100% chance of desync

EDIT >>> Turning Clip plane to 0 helps a ton with not desyncing in TT, also if you are going to Desync it will happen when you zone in almost every time, if your like me and must avoid this zone like the plague, it can be tricky to get keyed for seb. turn clip plane to 0 and zoning in from EJ seems to help dont ask me why, but i seem to Desync less when zoning from EJ to TT

I think I could bring a good deal of light to this issue. My internet connection is very stable. 20 down 2 up and 50 MS. I've never had an issue in trak's teeth. However, during hurricane Sandy I got my power back before my internet returned. This caused me to use my 3g phone to tather. During 3g tathering I am generally at 2.5 down, 1.5 up and 100-150 MS. I played with 3g tather for several days without much trouble. That is until I hit trakanon's teeth. Everytime I entered this zone I would Desync so hard and hit those 5k + pings, that I'd only ever heard about from one of our alaskan guildmates that operate under shit internet.

also, please look at Burning Woods, the lag is bad there

Can you repost those pings?
Also, how do you give yourself different odds at desynching? (30% / 100%)

[DOPE]

Thread necro. Have the same issue... Ping jumps to 5k, unable to do anything at all once zoning into TT. Took me 4 tries to zone back into EJ as I would go LD every time. Would say that connection is definitely the culprit, as I have a super dodgy connection (300-400 ping regularly). Assuming there's nothing I can do to fix this?

[SamwiseRed]

i dont lag in TT on main comp

on laptop i cant cast or see anything

same connection (also right next to each other)

nb4 boxing. nope main comp was down for a month.

[mostbitter]

it has nothing to do with connection, i had zero problems in TT for the longest time, after it was patched so that frogs/raptors killed each other desyncing occurs frequently for ALL players. Some triggers that I have noticed for a desync are sending tells, checking who lists, and casting spells.

[p-niner]

So arzak broke TT?

[SamwiseRed]

has nothing to do with your location or connection. again ill restate, i have a computer and a laptop on same connection. computer has no problems with TT, laptop however desyncs almost everytime.

Sam if you get time can you post detailed information about the differences between your two machines?

Every pc and laptop I own functions fine in TT.

If you wouldn't mind, also post basic information from display and sound tabs.

sure thing, i reformated my pc recently and only have ubuntu on it so right now not possible. if someone could kindly pm me a torrent of win 7 without malware id really appreciate it. my comp actually came with OEM win 7 but for some reason the code on the side of the machine is already in use. never again will i buy a 300 dollar e-machine during black friday sell :(
