why is it when I change servers from EU to US I can log on
but when using EU servers it times out?
I'm from the UK and have used the EU servers all the time (2 years), if I use the US servers the lag is so bad it's not woth playing...
what has changed? never had this problem before....
this is a seperate post as I'm woundering if other EU server players are having issues..

yeah its the log in proxy's
its just at US peek times i get lag now and then but if i can play without the lag all the better u know.
what is going on
What changing the 'Proxy' does, is that it forces a change in the Internet network path. And by chance, this change could bypass sections of the Internet that is causing problems... (such as local network congestion, or issues from upgrading to IPv6 support)
But changing the network path isn't always guaranteed to work... Sometimes the path change will direct you into a section of the Internet Network that has even more issues then the one you were using. So if a certain Proxy setting doesn't work, DON'T USE IT!!!
(and have you tried the 'direct' connection with No Proxy settings at all???)
For me, the direct connection always caused me lagspikes. Using EU always redeemed that problem. Using US is also a bit better then no proxy at all, but its not that great as when I used the EU one.
It seems the EU proxy seems to work sometimes, mostly not. In some rare cases it still works now..... 5% of the time?
