Stability of US server

Bad_Mongo

Im just interested to know what the current situation is on US server with stability / disconnect issues.

On the EU server we have had big big problems with stability for the last 3/4 months. Many pilots have reported getting random disconnects in combat very frequently since about Febuary.

With the latest patch we have been suffering from a hilarious problem where useing a flashfire results in about a 50:50 change of getting a disconnect and so is makeing trying to PvP a complete joke. You can imagine how farcical it has become the last few days when in your average fight with say 15-20 pilots half of them get disconnected within the first minute of the fight when they ff and it then turns in to a battle of who can log back in the quickest.

I have heard that the US server might not be haveing quite the same sort of problems as we have been. I suspect that the EU servers problems is quite possibly because of lack of maintanance from MGs part, since MG knew the servers were going to get shut down several months before we did and that isnt exactly the best incentive to put in the maintanance work thats needed to prevent from loseing players when you know your going to be loseing all your customer base anyway.

So how is it on US server? Had any problems since the last patch or is it definetely just us then?

Nope it's the netcode I believe. We have those random FF discoes as well.

Bad_Mongo

Oh...

Ambrosius

The FF discos are not netcode.

US server is very stable.

Bad_Mongo

Hmm ok, I'll ask a different question.

On US server is it normal to get disco'd up to 7/8 times in one night? Because thats the way it is on EU atm

No. But in all honesty, I've never had a problem on EU, either. *shrug*

Goldstrike

Hmmmm.

Maybe your mongo is bad?

You can feel free to spank me for that.

Ambrosius

I disco once or twice a MONTH -- maybe (an I play 4-5 times a week).

Elmdor

Well let's see.... Tonight AxxeMan discoed three times in one fight. It usually is not that bad. But discoes are not uncommon nowadays.

Eraser55

something has changed as i never used to disco before.. even when many people like mongo were.. I remember him whining and flaming on forums about to many POS... :P no offence.. I know how u feel now...

but i always tought that was individual problem.. client. but now Im sure that its something to do with server. and possibly the latest patch..

Wild_Bill

Well darn it! All this time I had been blaming my crappy old computer and rat-fink dial up connection. I usually don't have more than a couple of discos a week. I've had roughly 70 discos in a years time.

US numbers are still too low to have the same kind of battles found on EU. Time will tell after Thee Mygratory Phase (II)

Anyway I have been battling here on WWS and had 0 disconnects prior to 1.101, but had 1 after 1.101 was applied. Early days.

As for EU, I have been battling there too, and had only a rare disconnect or two, not as much as OV.

I had two discos a couple nights ago, but that is it so far. I don't really ever disco. I never disco'd when flying on EU either though.

Eraser55

before patch.. 7 disconects.. 1200 hours of gameplay.. after the patch 7 more disco in less then a week
