One less sniping spot on that map now

After Marsden reset the server, the server was still rubber-banding and spiking with the 1st hop. Note the max ping of the 108.61.79.86 hop. Those happen exactly when the rubber-banding in the server happens.

Here is a 10 minute trace.

Marsden asked for a fat packet ping to the hop in question. Here is my ping result with a 1400 MTU size:

C:\>ping -t -f -l 1400 108.61.79.86

I got on tonight at 8pm PST and the server was really laggy and rubber banding, and everyone was complaining about the rubber banding. I wounded a few teammates unintentionally due to the rubberbanding. Server became a ghost town after 15mins.

A single traceroute didn't give the full picture so I took a PingPlotter trace over 3 mins and isolated it down to the hop that was dropping packets and ping was spiking. A major contributor is the first hop before the server's IP (vl105-as1.pnj1.choopa.net 108.61.79.86).

Hope this info helps and this gets resolved quickly.

I can back up Hill and Brenton on this. eh Meh was intentionally TKing in spawn and was being very curt with his responses when asked not to TK.

Name: Magnum_OBGYN_PI

Steam I.D: STEAM_0:1:120029926

Reasons for the Ban: Lots of TKing and remarks as "Noob teammates" while doing it. Resulted in massive retalliation TKing from others due to no Admin on at the time. Left as soon as White and Duncan joined the server.

Recommended duration of ban: Perm

Demo Provided?: No, but screenshot and TSgt. C. White and Cpl. A. Scinta are my witnesses.

Name: -Ds-GaNTa-F

Steam I.D: STEAM_0:0:95379406

Reasons for the Ban: Spectated and began singing in the mic in drunken tone. He is a repeat annoyance in the pub with one ban under his belt: -Ds-GaNTa-F

Recommended duration of ban: TBD

Demo Provided?: No. Player left when SSgt. J. Avila joined server, but before Avila was able to completely join.

Not to high jack the thread, but my scenario was so similar I thought I would chime in.

Historically, I have had a very stable ping of 89ms in the server with my fiber connection coming from the West Coast. About 6mo. ago, my ping to the server started kicking up in the evening. Now I can watch my ping like almost clockwork spike around 3pm PST and remain at 189-205ms. I suspect my route changed to a crappy, overloaded network. During the weekday morning and afternoons the connection is back to the normal 89ms ping.

There are similarities to the route that Gearheart posted (129.250.x.x subnet) where the ping can be seen to spike. Also seeing a 50% packet loss.

Any help here would be awesome Woz!

I was there. Coondron was in a TK war with Sethy and wouldn't heed Lystad's requests to stop revenge TKing.

I was there and confirm Lystad's writen reasons. In addition, Sethy proclaimed "Want me to stop?" in chat towards Lystad after multiple warnings, and then continued TKing.

I can vouch that he was team wounding multiple people on the team just outside of spawn with shovel. Wounded me once as well.

CoreTemp is good. I have used it quite a bit, and it has a widget for the Windows 7 desktop.

I find RealTemp to be just as good if not a little better. It shows/logs minimum & maximum temperatures at a specific time. It also supports limited monitoring of GPU temp.

Hmm, so let me get this straight. You get no internet whatsoever when it goes to the unidentified network after logging in? If that is the case, then sounds like IT at the university needs to get involved, as I am out of ideas. Maybe their network needs additional configuration in order to work.

I am not a MSO tech, but I have a feeling I know the issue.

This sounds like the university is using a captive portal network system to "corral" a user into a designated subnet (set of IP addresses) and then once authenticated (ie. logged in) the subnet will change (ie. your ip address will change) to the the university's trusted network. This causes confusion within the Windows firewall as it appears as an entirely different network and puts it into the "public network" category.

Under the public network category, the Firewall permissions are much more restricted. Can you try temporarily disabling the Windows firewall and see if that remedies your issue? If it does, then you will need to re-enable the firewall and change your connection from "Public" to "Work" when on the university's trusted network.

See how to disable/enable Windows Firewall:

Turn Windows Firewall on or off

See Microsoft's Tech on changing network locations from public to work:

Choosing a network location

Hope this helps. Cheers!
