Extreme heavy lags and frequent crashing

[nevok]

Been playing more than 2 weeks now (just came back after 3 years) and everything was fine, CEP2.3, HG files Standard and GUI are properly installed and updated, no lags and no crashes.

3 days ago problems started to show, receiving -1 pings on all servers during from 1pm - 3am Pacific Time (well in between those are my available times), and all day yesterday and today. Extreme lagging that I'm no longer seeing mobs and even my partymates to the point of complete halt or unplayable.

Crashes when using NWNmain 169. I replaced back my original NWNmain and crashes no more, but lags put me to a halt that I needed to do a re-log.

OS is Windows XP x86 SP3, video drivers remain the same from retail and no updates. No new other software installed to compromise the game. What am I missing or needing to do?

Thanks in advance.

Nevok,

One thing I try do is run both a pingtest and speedtest when I see these kinds of issues. You can do this at www.pingtest.com or www.speedtest.com

If these are coming in with issues then there could be a problem on your line; eg congestion or something similar; but the good news is usually these can be resolved once you raise them up to the ISP.
If both tests come back without issues, then something else is blocking your way.
