Title: Timing out
Post by: Story People on August 03, 2009, 10:15:06 AM

Alright, for some strange reason I keep timing out.

Anyone else having this problem?

I -never- have any problems playing on the server, and my internet works just fine.

Also I see some other players frequently logging in and out, so guys, having the same problem?

Lot of those folks are probably Alt Hoping.  I tend to Time out though, if surrounded by a bunch of Buffed spell casters and or annoying things like the epileptic wererat and shifter effects.  Once in awhile.  Otherwise, Transitions are my Bane, especially Doorways like leaving the ML temple when 10 people insist on having hours of conversations on one side of it and 10 other people charge the transition at the same time I do.

Poor old GF2 just has fits.  :D

And I have a 8800, so it shouldnt be a problem, lol

I've had it happen a lot today as well, sometimes even several timeouts within a few minutes. It didn't happen in almost all areas I was in (mostly Church of Ezra and various Vallaki districts) regardless of whether other players were in the area at the same time or not.

crashing all the time.. sometimes vista related, sometimes timeout.. think i kind of got used to it.
Only thing that really bothers me is the roll back crashes since I am one of those stupid gits that save all the time but never when there is a roll back crash -.-


edit: okay.. now time-outs are geting more frequent.
