I have been trying for weeks on end to stay connected to the server, having hoped to come back to the game on the last New Character Week since my coursework is slim this semester. However, I'm having issues I've never had before.
I log into the server, occasionally getting a connection error, but usually logging in fine. I'll be in game for maybe five minutes, just long enough to almost respond to a surprised or excited greeting through a tell or two, and then I get kicked with a server timeout message. I know it's my end but I can't understand what the issue might be. I've tried reinstalling the game, haks, etc. I've tried messing with my internet, making my IP Static, Port-forwarding stuff again, messing with the Client port, all kinds of different logging in. I've tried praying, complaining, hitting things, blood rituals, etc. I've done everything I can think of to try and fix the issue, but nada.
It's across all of NWN multiplayer too.
Tornfear and I live in the same apartment, with the same internet and modem, and he has no issues with his connection. I'd blame the Netgear wireless adapter that connects me to the modem except the internet works fine with everything else, barring the occasional slowdown or hiccup. I used to log in fine with the same getup- same internet, modem, and everything.
I can't think of anything at this point, and I looked on the forums here and in others to see if any other persons might have had this issue but couldn't find anything. My next idea is to just go ahead and blame the adapter, buy a new one, and see what happens but I'd rather not waste money on something that won't work or isn't necessary.
If anyone has any ideas as to what the issue might be, I'm happy to try anything; sacrificing my soul to the Dark Powers for a solution not being off the table.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
