Title: My Nightmist Lag
Post by Mission on 12/06/03 at 13:50:58
alright, here's the scenario.

i'm on other webpages and it's working snap, crackle, pop. try to hit the nightmist website, and BAM. lag.

in nightmist, i'm getting pings of:
You have a ping of 2910ms to the server.

obviously i shouldn't be getting those, because i'm on cable internet. i havn't tried uninstalling/reinstalling yet, but i'm about to do so.

oh yeah, on the log in/account screen i'm not clicked into any alternates. if anyone knows something, it'll help.

nothing really wrong with that, apart from 1 dropped packet on your connection right at the end, but i wouldn't worry about really unless it was happening more often.

i get dced every 5 mins, and i'm getting sick of it. i've tried all alternates several times and nothing, i called my isp and nothing. they were busy or something, and i can't even log on 2 crits anymore without getting disconnected. i really don't know what's wrong, and i'm started to lose patience.

How long has it been like that?
Just today? Cus it's happened to me before, and everything looked fine, but it just kept on ****ing up. It sorted itself out after a day or so.

the weirdest part is, i can see what people are typing but mine doesn't show up until like 5 minutes later. it's like i'm falling behind or something.

like i would see the mummy attacking me, but i couldn't hit back and i couldn't do nothing about it.
