Bogus IP Header Length Packet Sniff

[Caridry]

I don't think this has anything to do with poor connection either...

I NEVER had issues in the past 5 years of playing. I consistently had roughly 18-22 ping every night, never got kicked, and zoned within 5-10 seconds.

Now I am steadily at 50-70 ping, takes me 30min + to log in, and I crash every zone looping me back to the30min login process (wineq2 seems to have fixed a lot of issues, but again never had to use this in the past).

I made no changes to anything on my end in the past few months at all, I literally just get on my computer to play EQ. I have 100mb down/75mb up service, and do not have issues with anything else, ever. I guarantee its not my "shitty" connection.

My connection at work went from 30-40 MS ping to about 250-300 MS ping. Nothing about the connection has changed on my end, can't seem to figure out how to fix it either.


Sucks, was nice being able to log in to chat with people at work and do some stuff but now with this lag I've been limited to just chatting with pals!

Connectivity randomly adjusted with patches - It really is classic EQ!

GL to staff in hunting this one down... /salute

Can we get an update/Revert of the patch for this issue?

It's affecting to many people now.

The game is getting close to unplayable at this point. I'm now crashing on zone the vast majority of time. Makes porting people around very difficult since whenever I disconnect it's a full on crash and it's taking me 5 to 10 minutes to get connected again. I now have to cross my fingers any time I hit that zone line. The game used to be so stable, I never had any issues in the past.

Sometimes from char select, my client will continue to send messages to the server but get no response at all. Is the server severing connections too early in the process due to loss?

Also the serverside port for traffic seems to change. What's the difference between 'iwg1' and 'dpservadmin' ?

Yesterday the login server thought I wasnt connected to the internet for 43 minutes.

Crux of the issue; how much do we need to donate to replace the faulty part?

Legitimate question even though it sounds trolly. If everyone donated $3 im sure this would be fixed sooner rather than later.

i am experiencing issues as well

disconnecting when zoning often, slow zone times.. currently can't even get logged into the server

[Docx]

this is just happening to me as well

I've noticed my ping got significantly higher since the new patch, but it never caused crash issues, until tonight. Tonight i've crashed on every zone, and then i spend anywhere from 5-20 minutes trying to log back on.
