General issues and errors.

[_iNvoKeD]

Doubt its just me but;

 

I'm always using ethernet connection (not wireless) and I dont lose connection to anything but EL. There isnt much traffic, if anything (just my PC) but I get random dcs and grues.

 

secondly; the client seems to crash a HELL of a lot, and you cant end the process and it just stays open. you stay logged in untill you re-log with a new client.

 

lastly; ping spikes - i play a hell of a lot of games, and my ping doesn't spike much if at all. my ISP is fine and I run a steady 10Meg speed at ALL times of the day, but in EL, randomly I will get anywhere between 200 and 3K ping spikes (from 30-40ms).

 

 

If you could look into these (cause I doubt they are just me) it would be nice, because I have lost a fair few rostos because of this.

 

 

Thanks

I can stay online a whole 24 hours till my service provider disconnects me once every 24 hours - no lost connection ever. Thus I presume it's rather somewhere in your service provider's network or on route. Your ping spikes seem to indicate this as well - after all a lag out (grue) is nothing different than an even slower ping. Many service providers nowadays exercise some kind of "traffic shaping" which doesn't work well with some things - especially games which need a constant rate; these packages are not indicated as "priority traffic" - as opposed to VoIP services for instance.

 

wrt crashes: I used to get crashes *a lot* (like daily) as long as I played the game with sound enabled. As soon as I switched off sound, I didn't see a single crash anymore (playing on OSX).

There's been an sound error that has been fixed in the development builds (https://github.com/raduprv/Eternal-Lands/commit/c413d8337383dbb6af04bbb4af957b03654206d1)

 

You can try Sir Odies developments builds, they should contain the fixes: http://www.gm.fh-koeln.de/~linke/EL-Services.html

I dont use sound.

But i'll try.

 

I've had the problem since el 1.9.3 client, never happened before, and there is nothing wrong with my internet/traffic btw.
