Thread: Having weird connection issues. HELP!

    Default Having weird connection issues. HELP!

    So I've been having weird connection issues all day.

    I can keep inputting commands but the commands don't go through, sometimes it just scrolls "You can only typeahead 1 line", but usually I can still see game lines coming through.

    Eventually the game crashes with this error code from Lich:

    error: server_thread: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. @ io_fillbuf - fd:4
    lich.rbw:2269: in 'gets'
    lich.rbw:2269: in 'block in open'

    The weird thing is I have found a work around (sort of) that has been working for a couple of hours now.

    So I log a character in, do a few commands to see if I get the lag problem, if I do I relog that character and keep testing and relogging until it seems there is no lag. Essentially I keep relogging a character until I get a "good" connection, once I have a "good" connection the issue doesn't appear to crop up, presumably until I log out again then I'll have to deal with this again.

    Any clue what could be happening? Seems like a problem with Comcast...as per usual...just not sure there is anything I can do about it other than hope it fixes itself.

    Clearly Gemstone hates you... also Comcast is the devil
    Khaladon starts to turn the crystal knob, but stops with a frightened look on his face. He begins shaking uncontrollably and flies across the room, as though by some invisible force.

    **SPLAT!!** Khaladon careens off the far wall, slides down the smooth wood panelling and collapses into a quivering heap on the floor, with only his dignity bruised.

    Actually I have been experiencing similar issues periodically as well. Out on the brig I entered like 4 commands with no response on 2 alts, it also happens on 2 of my capped alts. Oddly enough it does not seem to happen when my rogue is in picking, at least not that I have noticed. I have not died from it, yet, but I could see where it could get you killed. I figured it was a Simu doing something thing.

    Yeah it's really weird, and my solution for the time being is really weird too. It just started yesterday for me and unfortunately continues today.

    I went ahead and did this just to cover all of my bases but it didn't help
