GT servers unplayable
« on: January 29, 2008, 07:47:51 PM »
Attached are a few screenshots of what my netgraph looks like almost constantly on GT servers for the last couple weeks. Completely unplayable (thank god for er33t match servers ^_^). So am I just intercoursed? Or is there a way to fix this issue (that is probably deep at some bad node in the routing between me and GT, even though I live in the same city as the servers)

EDIT: I was playing on an ev1 server, noticed no lag, still just GT

EDIT2: I ran a traceroute, if that helps:

See if you can find the hop that causes the problem, then contact your ISP. That's about all you can do.

Oh, and turn your gamma down.  That will fix it too.

Is that only the GT servess?

That is some serious loss.  Is it always the same period spacing like that?

I was having the same problem.  I thought it was just my connection or router.

The routing in Dallas is majorly fubar'd lately.  Our datacenter has been having problems on multiple carriers since shortly after we got the #eR33t-Gaming servers.

Sigh, I hope they get their excrement together soon, because until then half of the American match servers are 100% unplayable for me >.>

Yes and Yes, more or less.
