Your connection to the server has been lost!

Post by LeMe »

Hello!
First of all sorry for my bad English!

Second of all i got a problem.
Yesterday I was able to play on the most servers and didnt had any problem but now im getting to start to get the error ''Your connection to the server has been lost''
I tryed the following servers

=HOG= Mixed Maps: Had 141 ping
Free Candy Van: Had 110 ping (Sometimes around the 200 and sometimes 2500 0_O)
=MeRk= PROJECT EU TEAMWORK SERVER: Had 47 Ping
[NEW] New Era Warfare - Teamwork: Had 47 ping

I used to be able to join this servers yesterday and the days before but now im getting the ''Your connection to the server has been lost error''

Sometimes when i update the page some of the servers disapeer and come back later when i update again a few times.
My PR is also reacting slower then normaly.

Could somebody help me, Please?

Greetz, LeMe

Your English is excellent? With those high pings and spikes to 2500ms and lag (acting slowly) it seems your Internet connection is the problem. Sometimes this can be temporary for various reasons or if persistent you'll have to upgrade to a faster speed tier. Basically all one needs at best to play local servers is around 5Mbps Download speed. Anything over that would just be bragging rights unless you play far away servers. Try testing your speed and/or ping at any of many speed testing sites.

Those high pings wern't present the days before all of this happend.
Today i was able to play i play for 2 hours on the PRTA #1 - EU i had a ping around the 40 most of the players had a ping around the 80 some even 200 after 2 hours i lost my connection to the server and then the problem begins and im getting a ping of 2500 from that moment and after waiting i can play again.
Oddly enough this problem never happens on the HOG server where i got a ping around the 120 and the server is located in the USA but when i play on a server with low ping and in a country nearby like the PRTA server this happens often.

That is odd but maybe just a coincidence. By that meaning maybe when you play the better server you are merely having a better latency day. I've had that same issue; some days consistent (40-100ms) other days every few hours a major spike to 2500ms. And that knocks you off the server either via punk buster, server daemon, or you just crashing via lost frame rate. You never know what happened unless you test.

We're gonna have to look at this scientifically. In other words eliminate all possibilities. I'm gonna give you a couple of links. One to "Broadband reports" or as it's better known; "DSL Reports" a mostly internet industry related site with much information, testing tools, and several forums for personal help. For instance you may somehow have too narrow a TCP Receive window. This is the port that receives the data packets sent to you. Think of it like a straw for a milkshake If the straw is too narrow you hardly get any ice cream. If it's to large you get too much at once and you lose some. Use the tools on the site to check if yours is set properly.

Also I'm sending you a link to popular speed testing site as well as a companion ping test site. You may be losing packets to or from the server. That would give us much information

DSLReports Home : Broadband ISP Reviews News Tools and Forums
Speedtest.net by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test
Pingtest.net - The Global Broadband Quality Test

Okay here's what you do first - Call your internet provider (ISP) and ask them how fast your connection speed should be. In other words what you are paying for. It will be rated as Mbps (megabits per second) such as 3Mbps or 16Mbps whatever. Now with that information go to the speed testing site and compare what you are supposed to be getting and what you are actually getting. Keep in mind that if you are "spiking" you need to test it often as you may be fine for now but later it goes the shit again. Be sure to post the test information here or PM me with it so I can see what you see. Now if we discover that you are not getting what you paid for just call your ISP back and demand they repair the transmission.

Oh and as the test sites are advertising based absolutely only use the speed and/or ping test. However you may use any testing tools at dslreports as it's user sponsored such as project reality's site is.
