Frequent d/c

posted on May 6th, 2010, 7:10 am

Going along with the Out of Syncing, today a few of us played 4 games in a row without being able to finish a single one.  Each one resulted in a player being dropped due to some sort of d/c.


  Not sure what is causing it, but it's happening with a frequency that did not happen in 3.1.1.

THanks!!

thats a problem of your ISP then, FO cant cause disconnects

might also be a problem of the tunngle network or your VPN / hosting service used

Sorry about the lack of information .



  Game was hosted with Tunngle.

  Participants were players that have played before numerous times without issue.

  Games 1 and 2 had a player disconnect by time-out within the first minute of gameplay.  Both times the player was different.

  Game 3 had a fifth player (yandonman), who was recording, time out about 10 minutes in.


  There is another replay that Yandon just put up in the Replay thread where he was dropped as well about 30 minutes into the game.


  Of course, I don't know if this has anything to do with FO .  My guess is that it did not, but this kind of very frequent dropping did not happen until 3.1.2 came out.  Perhaps it's Tunngle, or perhaps it had to do with one of the players in the game.  Given the little that even I know I would not expect it to be an FO problem, nonethless I figured you guys might want to know all the new issues that are arising .
