Dear community, dear Hey, You!,

so, after almost 6 days of having nice and smooth gameplay and thinking issues were fixed it started allover again yesterday.

I counted 7 lag-disconnects after 25k ping within 3 hours. After that i didnt even feel like logging back in to continue counting. b:surrender

Just makin this thread to let you guys know and to see if anyone else has problems too~

    Honestly, if it were the server or a problem with PWI, there would be a ton of threads about this. When the server crashes, there's only about a 30 second delay until people are posting about it here.
    It's either your set up or connection, or something wrong on one of the hops between you and PWI. There's an extensive checklist in the tech support section.

    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 security softwares.
    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 Your network adapter driver is out of date and needs to be refreshed.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.
    6. Your firewall settings are too strict. (Very common with ZoneAlarm and Commodo firewall.)
    7. Your router is configured improperly.
    8. you have a bad network cable.
    9. You're using a wireless network connection. (Which leads to another huge list.)
    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 line at the pole and it's raining. (I've had this happen personally.)
    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. (Has happened several times, most recently just a couple of months ago.)

    That's just a few. The more details you give, the better I can narrow it down and tell you what the issue is.

    Also, post a copy of a traceroute to the server.
    It's more likely on your local network or on a hop between you and the server than it is the server itself or PWE's connection. (With the exception of the already stickied case and the Delta entrance bug.)
    Take the time to look for your answer before you post like an idiot.

    There are two kinds of people in this world...
    There are those who panic,
    And then there is us.

    I would blame the network also. I have both ADSL and cable network in my house.

    Don'T try to play on ADSL you always get disconnected, while on cable you can stay 1 month in a shop, and sill play the game normaly.

    Why ?

    Because of how the network are made. My Adsl Connection sometimes gives me long hours of play online. And then it can sudenlly start disconnecting every 20 minute. Temperature influence the connection also. The modem get hot and crash etc, there is so many reason that I had no choice but get cable to play long hours.

    It could even be your RJ-45 cable from your pc to your modem that over time, gravity change it's location and now has a bad connection, or humidity corrupted the wire.

    BUT

    If your connection is ok then disconnect after a while, I would suspect the modem. Modem tend to start working bad after 3 or 4 year of regular use. Gaming is more then regular and modem fail after 2 years, Most compagnie replace them for free.

    and because its more fun to poke the ignorants


    but +1 to the OP,i dont think its the player side that time at least not 100%
    I usually dont have DC probs and pretty much the same day as the OP, i experienced the same thing.
    But like one other user said, there was a huge lagspike, and then the DC. Sometimes i would withstand it, sometimes i wont. >.> was so weird lol. My laptop that runs the catshop remained online tho.
    asked pple in fac chat and some were experiencing the same too.
