I Could not play for the last week, at all.

[michy]

Hello..
Im pretty new to HG, I Saw the server a long time ago and loved it, There was one problem prevented me from playing HG, And that was terrible lags.
A Bit after that, I tried again, and the server was seem to be running good enough, way less lags and i could actually play properly.
Now, and if to be exact, for the last week, It seems the lags are back, big time.
Whenever i play, Whatever server i play, No matter how empty or full it is, Doesnt matter anything i do (I have animation fix, ive got video texture quality to 16 meg since i heard it helps), I cannot get rid of those lags.
I Can't actually describe it, Those aren't really regular lags, i cant deal with it, when im saying lags im talking about every few seconds game freezes for long periods of time, Sometimes i dont see my HP Drains, and death windows popping up while i can move and do everything and i see my health full.
I Do not have the courage to join any run because of it, And every time i try, I leave just at the beggining, I Havent lvld any of my characters for the last days, All i do, and every day is the same, is connecting to some server, Sending LFG message, If i have been accepted in some group it goes like i tp to leader, and getting despert again and leaving, And if no one answers and no group, i just leave, That's the way it is.
Please help me about it, I am running out of any ideas how to reduce this lags or whatever it is, And please don't tell me 'We got nothing to do, its lags', Because there must be anything i can do in order to play normally.

Have you tried to reset your modem and router (if you have one)? There are usually little holes in the back where a paperclip will fit. You may have to reconfig router (if you have one).

If you are not getting responses in chat window if definatley sounds like an internet connection issue. Try another NWN server and see if it works ok, but come back to HG after 'cause it rocks!

And after you get things sorted out and really like it here....Vote for HG on NWVaut and send in a small (or big if you can) donation to help pay the costs of keeping 5 servers running. (Would be very interested to know roughly how much $$ / month that costs, not to mention the untold hours Funky spends writing and testing code).

Either it's a hardware issue, or your connection, or a driver issue, is my guess. Have you called your internet provider? Did the problem start up after a Windows update? A new ethernet card driver can really screw up your connection. Try doing a tracert to one of the servers as well, and see what that yeilds.
