Hey guys,
I play on your Cod2 servers, looking for some advice on a very recent ping increase problem.
For the last couple years, I have usually pinged betwween 40-80 (max) on your Cod2 servers. Consistently. Within the last week or so, my ping (not only your servers, but ALL other servers as well) has doubled to tripled (150+) and makes it nearly un-playable. Asking in-game, no one else has apparently experienced this.
I did "Google" it, but I'm not exactly a techie, and the 100,000+ hits were a admittedly a bit confusing... and hoped one of you smarter-than-me types, could give me a little direction as to how to figure out what has caused my ping to jump. I'm DYING to get back to cracking skulls on your servers, but it's not as enjoyable (playable) at high ping.
BTW, on my old favorite server (yes, XI is the new one) we asked people over 150 ping to leave, as it caused lag spikes for everyone else...... generally, what is the max ping you want on your servers, in case this isn't easily fixable?
Suggestions/ recommendations? Again, this has just happened very recently, and I have added no hardware/software & made no significant changes at all. I run Norton 360 Premium, and nothing is showing as added to registry in the last few months. Just one day for no apparent reason, my favorite gaming/stress relief outlet became unplayable <
HELP!!!
Don't make me run around my house, stalking the dog, going "pew, pew, pew" for lack of gaming relief..... the wife's idiot cat, on the other hand, deserves it.
