Hi there,

I have been playing on the server for the past 3 weeks and I have had very few issues. However, over the past few days I have experienced a good deal more lag in game and have been going linkdead every few minutes typically. This is not a consistent problem, I sometimes go for hours without disconnecting and other times I disconnect every few minutes. Is there anything on my end that I can do to try to address this issue? Is anyone else experiencing more LD's than usual?

Thanks in advance.

With the exception of "Mass" LDs - LDs are almost never caused by the server.

The most common issue is that some routing path between you and the server is congested or otherwise broken, causing you to drop packets more frequently, causing LDs.

This usually is not physically near you (though obviously if your router has troubles the same thing will happen). If you are in NA there are some "trouble" spots you can probably read about if you google it a bit.

Sometimes, local problems with your ISP just happen. Which may be your problem since you describe being just fine in the past.

If you determine the issue is the most common routing one, you can try a huge range of VPN / Tunneler services that can have some surprisingly good results. It is unlikely your ping will drop much (or at all) but taking a different route can make lag or common LDs completely vanish. I can't recommend a specific one, but I am sure you can find something if you ask around.

It's annoying because the program is not free, but someone suggested WTFast in another thread, and it seems to have fixed my latency/LD issues.
