Experiencing huge Connection issues

Cristalwhite - Harshlands

Since the Server-maintenance i have huge lage spikes which make the game partial unplayable.
The spikes are over 2 Minutes where i cant do any action.

I am a EU-Player.
I testet the connection, the Web-page told me: 3Mb download and 0.3 Mb uploud.
It should be fine right? Any Webpage is loading normaly, it seems a PWI specific issue. b:faint

Highly unlikely if there's only a single thread about it.

You should check out Sylens thread in the tech section ...

I've got the same issue; my cnx is showing 27Mbps (normal for me), and I've tested playing two other games with no problems, so it's definitely a cnx issue to Neverwinter itself (I'm also have massive problems connecting to the Neverwinter Gateway site).

I wonder if the maintenance (planned for sometime today but not sure when because the launcher says 0700-0930 for the west coast of the USA but 1200-1330 UTC - which not only doesn't match up timezone-wise but seems to indicate it will take 2.5 hours in the USA and only 90 minutes elsewhere) will sort this *WITHOUT* messing something else up like it usually does.

Well, the route from you to youtube must be ok, but the route from you to pwi might have some problems. I'm having this type of issue atm since the fiber broke in a region near where I live and I suffer from heavy lag on the route to pwi, but not to other "places in the internet". Can't blame pwi for something you don't actually know. Networks aren't just you and the destination.

People hate me for posting this over and over, but damnit, there's just nothing better to say until you bother to provide more information. And seriously, there's a much better chance that the issue is either on your end, or somewhere between you and the servers. Unfortunately, that can't be determined until you give us something to work with.

Common reasons that you can't connect to the servers, experience disconnects, or just have lag in general...

1. You don't have the three .exe files for the client set to run as administrator.
2. You don't have the game directory set as an exception in your antivirus/security software. (Especially with Norton360 or MSE)
3. Your network adapter driver is out of date and needs to be refreshed.
4. Your local area network settings are improperly configured.
5. You have more than one firewall and don't realize it. (Common with some modems.)
6. Your firewall settings are too strict. (Very common withNorton360, ZoneAlarm, and Commodo firewall.)
7. Your router is configured improperly. (Or it's just a cheap router that can't handle the traffic you're putting on it.)
8. you have a bad network cable.
9. You're using a wireless network connection. (Which leads to another huge list of possible issues.)
10. You have a lot of traffic on your local network that is bogging your router/modem down.
11. There's a fault in your router.
12. There's a fault in your modem.
13, You have a bad phone cord plugged into your modem.
14. There's an issue with your house wiring.
15. There's an issue with your outside wiring.
16. A squirrel chewed on your phone/cable line at the pole and it's raining. (I have personally had this happen.)
17. A switch/router at the CO for your ISP is having an issue.
18. One of the many hubs between you and PWI is having an issue. (Most common)
19. There is heavy sunspot activity. (Has happened within the past two years)
20. There's a regional router outage. (This has happened more than a few times. More often occurs with trunk lines crossing large bodies of water)

That's just a few. Sometimes, the easiest fix is something like shutting down your Modem/Router/PC for three minutes and then bringing them back up. Unfortunately, all you've done is complain about having high latency. You haven't done anything that might lead someone who can help you, to be able to help you resolve the issue you're having.
The more details you give, the better I can narrow it down and tell you what the issue is.

At an absolute minimum I would need a copy of a traceroute to the server, and detailed information about how your local network is configured. In some cases, even a published Speccy log.

You don't have to be a tech wiz to provide any of this information either. You just need to be able to click the links I provided and to read and comprehend/follow instructions. I can understand you're frustrated, but sitting and complaining about a connection, without actually ever attempting to fix it, or provide information for those that can help you fix it, it probably one of the stupidest things you can do. If you feel offended by this statement, then you really need to take a closer look at reality.
