RATs! Seconday connection route dead?

[OLDZEKE]

Myself and at least on other squaddie can't connect via secondary connection route. Just started today. May want to check it.

[jgray]

< Cant connect either

[OHM]

Did you try Primary ?

[jgray]

had to change to "Use Primary Connex" while it took forever and threw a tcp error at start it finally got me in... not sure if related, but the ts server seems a bit garbally too.

[DOC]

change your connect settings to say "use best" ... do not select "secondary" as a hard choice

alternatively "use primary" will also work but it is recommended as a fall back if "use best" does not work

Added to this a lot of folks were experiencing much higher ping results which made for rather interesting gameplay in towns.

As an example from where I am atm (NY) ping is usually in the 50ms level and today it was up at mid 90's.

Could this be related?

[DOC]

we'd need a lot more reports before we could comment and be correct

[TGUNR]

I am seeing high ping latency from here in Northern California, checking into my other remote servers I have access to I see normal 40-60ms ping rates. I am pretty sure this is not related to our server network, will begin checking things out.

Still not the only one thats getting it, certainly not in squad.

Have tried all connection variables in settings to no avail.

Have done a few ping tests averages as below.

Ping Tests - Averages

66.28.224.227 is timing out.

66.28.224.142 average ping is 97

66.28.224.144 average ping is 95

Those are good ping times, I'm around 300 right now. It's not our servers.

BTW: Some of our servers do not respond to pings, thus the timeouts.

[expatpom]

Usually its around 45-55 Tgunr so at the moment are X2 what they usually are.

Cheers
