[aldath c'om]

ive had several connection losts and huge lag spikes. is there problems with server and can it be fixed.

when spikes come i cant try to safe mode cause its not connecting. but still i can surf on internet so problem is not on me. if that was what u ment.

Sounds like a connection issue to me.
I get that sometimes as well. Usually a reboot of the modem cures it.
Could also be a client issue. As the 2d client isnt exactly known for its stability.

I have had similar lag problems too, i haven't lost connection but recently my character has just froze while everything around him keeps moving and i have to log off then log in and i can move again fine....

[Alteran]

have any done a trace to the server , because i have no problem with the connection, could be the a router some were that have a problem.
if all the things can move ,but you cant then it the connection and not the server that is lagging.

its connection to the server then. its not lagging at all atm but then it just starts to lag like a hell.

Next time you experience the spikes do the following.
Open a dos promp.
start->run>cmd
Then type: tracert 80.197.136.30
Let it run through. can take a few minutes.
Then post the results here.


example tracert from me to the server
C:\Documents and Settings\Admin>tracert 80.197.136.30

Trace complete.
The timeouts arent really relevant as they just indicate a router that doesnt allow pings. However the ms is the interesting part.
From the example here. hop number 7 has a spike. 47ms 7ms 7ms wich indicates an unstable router. It also tell you where the problem is. In this case its my isp´s mainline on Sjælland, Denmark. In this case it was a router that had crashed so they had to route extra traffic through this one. causing a bit of overload.
