i've been getting major lag spikes since the reboot on sept 20th.. it fine in pve zone, but when i go into an rvr zone (emain, df, etc) i get lag spikes that makes the game freeze for like 5 seconds then after it happens 2 or 3 times, i end up lding.

anything change since that reboot?

ps. it happens even when emain is barly active.. and i am not the only one that been having this problem since that reboot

This has been happening to a few people I've been playing with. They keep lagging/LDing but I never have so I'm thinking it's an ISP thing.

It has been worse lately, but in my case not unmanageably so.

Do a tracert to 88.198.56.21 when you next go LD and see where you are losing packets.

in case you don't know how:

Start --> Run --> CMD

type into the prompt "tracert 88.198.56.21 >c:\trace.txt" (without quotes)

check the results in C:\trace.txt

post here if you wish

My results look like this.. which is awesome
