Server Not Responding!

klavos

So this has been happening a lot more than normal recently, for me at least. I keep getting the Server Not Responding and followed by a disconnect way more than normal. It used to be an occasional internet issue but now I think the servers are messed up. Is anyone else suffering this lately?

Just logged in did some extended running around and such, no SNR's that I can speak of.

The question becomes what region since there are still, as far as I am aware, a few internet providers doing some digital wars by reducing competitions dataflow through their hubs. This can cause issues alone.

I'm not sure, I've never had this happen before in my years playing Champions. I've heard some others say it's been happening to them and that it appears to mostly be happening on the West Coat of the US, where I live. I heard that for some reason we're being rerouted through the pipes that foreigners use for whatever reason. I'm not sure which is true and which isn't but that stuff is what I've been as of right now.

Thats' because there's a couple of internet providers in that area that are in a measuring contest. I forget who they are specifically, but one company says the other owes them royalties for using their hubs, and so forth. Unfortunately, net neutrality laws have yet to still go into effect so these companies have been getting away with basic highway robbery.

But here's the thing that makes that odd. I'm not having internet issues at all. My connection is fine for everything that isn't Champions. If I try to load up Champions, there's been a good chance that I get an SNR

Has to do with the routing taken to Cryptic's servers from your ISP. The Internet consists of a series of nodes, connected by lines. If one of the nodes your data packets go through is experiencing issues, whether related to severe weather (quite a lot of the northwestern US is on fire currently) or unit-measuring contests, that can cause SNRs.

Thank you, I knew it wasn't my own connection causing that to happen because everything else was perfectly fine
