Title: Problem connecting
Post by: Komrade on November 27, 2014, 02:38:38 PM
Not sure if its just me but it's kinda difficult to connect with the server, and when I do connect I have huge lag problems.

Yesterday I had lag spikes too and today they started again after more players came online so maybe some problem with the server ? I tried another game and it all worked fine my ping was constantly low there, while here it jumped almost every 4 seconds to thousands. 

Edit I tried reinstalling the client and all and can't update now, updater just get stuck. Also cant connect at all now.

Komrade infected me with his lags :P
I'm having big lags today, not even lags more like lost packets or the connection being dropped.

The machine at play.fonline-aop.net (62.210.137.218) won't respond to ping, tracert gives up pretty fast:

After a bit of digging in the interweb I'm almost sure the server is located in France, probably hosted by 'online.net'. That provider gives a 'ping.online.net' address for testing connections, it has a similar IP as the AoP server (62.210.18.40), I have no problems with 'pinging' that address (0% dropped packets) but I'm not all that sure if it's in the same data center as the AoP server.

Is there any other hostname/IP that I can test against?

Yesterday and today.
Now me too, so frustrating :(

It starts with the lags, then disconnects and not allowing a reconnect.
Stop giving me your lags I wanna play dagnabit!

We're switching providers at the end of the month, know any company? Current candidates are amazon, or my home pc.

Cirn0 Server Plus!

Server isn't too far from me, and when is good its really good!
However when its bad it hurts a little.

It likes to do it when I see enemies are around....(Off)=Death, hah.

Home PC seems like the funniest sollution for some reason. Will your pc be able to withstand that? I for some reason doubt it.
