Slow zoning / Not zoning

curtischoy · #1 12-09-2013, 02:42 AM

Hallo. I have been having trouble with zoning recently. I used to zone in about 2 seconds (literally) now sometimes it take a few mins, or it will not zone at all and i have to Ctrl +
alt + del it and end the process. This has only happened for about 2 weeks now. Not sure what the problem is.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Bump. I'd say over 50% of the time I zone I have to ctrl alt del out and re-login =/ Getting pretty frustrating. If anyone has any info, or if there is a post on here that I have not found, please post / link the thread. Thanks.

I have found this game to be very sensitive to wireless signal strength. You need a very strong connection or the game hangs or doesn't respond. I use my computer in the back of the house and i drop below 70% connection I experience these same issues.

I also did not have this bad of issues before the recent data center change. My guess is that due to our locations we are experiencing client/server lag on top of data-loss due to weak internet signals. Try hooking your PC up to a wired connection and I bet you will find these issues non existent.

If wired connection solves problem then you need to work on repositioning your comp/router or boost your signal with an extender.

You may also want to check out router settings and add exceptions too the firewall for the PC you play on wireless-ly, I do not know what ports p99 uses but opening those up for that computers IP may help as it will remove a little bit of latency.

TY info. But I have always used this computer at this location, it has only recently been an issue. I am usually at 100% connection, I am very close to the router, maybe 15 feet.

Remember the Server changed from 1 data center to another. Even if it worked fine before doesn't mean anything today.

If you are sure your internet connection is 100% perfect, and your router settings are again perfect, you might want to test your ram, it may be failing you.
