Hey everyone, since the server was moved I have had loadsa problems with crashing, it's pretty random and once I have crashed once I crash I seem to crash two more times when trying to log in. Also I seem to be pinging at around 28-40 on both a and b but on all other servers it's in the 100s. I don't know whether that is good or bad. Anyway I was just wondering if anyone had any similar problems or knows how I can fix it.


P.s appologies for any bad spelling/grammer am on my iPod touch

The ping rate is how long it takes for your system to send and receive information to and from the game’s server. It is measured in Milliseconds (1 second = 1000 milliseconds.) The lower the better.

I also have been experiencing some lag and crashes, so you are not alone. Usually I notice many others characters at the entry upon reconnection.

I personally attribute the current lag and crashing to the server move and expect that things will smooth out as they make the necessary adjustments.

Lower ping is better.

As for crashing, it is common that the entry can cause crashes when its over loaded.

This is why DM's usually will ask you to clear out unless you are waiting for a DM to continue a plot or some viable OOC reason.

Ping of 28-40 is enviable. I am not sure if it has a major effect on playability, though. But still it's good.

A ping of below 50 is quite good. You will barely notice any sudden jumps in the movement of others.

Now a ping of 250 is a bit worse, you will occasionally notice a little bit of lag, but safe for that nothing else will happen.

A ping of 1000 is quite noticable.

A ping of 10000 is just plain hilarious :D

Did you try adjusting graphics settings? Did you lately update any drivers or buy new hardware?

Yep, same in crashing. Lots of lag spikes that happen randomly. Moments where the world seems to "freeze over", similar to moments before the server times out.

What about a ping of negative one?

Server B is always fine for me, though. :?

That just means gamespy has problems/is bugged for that.

However, i can beat that with an upload rate of roughly 2gb/s (granted, this was definitely a display bug and vanished quickly after a second or two), on a 1.6 mb/s connection. ;)

I got some horrible lag today around 9:40pm GMT +12.

Was someone working on the server or something? Because I can honestly say I have never suffered lag like that, not since the old days when the server used to be constantly full every single minute of the day, and I was on 56k. I'm on full broadband, so should have no issues.

Was on Amia B.

I was indeed working there a moment ago, but I dunno if that was something that caused lag. I was just fixing user accounts.

Wasn't you...

Reset my computer after incase it was me. My entire O.S. had gotten corrupted for some random reason. I had to install win7 since my original disk is long gone. Lost all my work, programs and everything on my C drive. Happy I store my school stuff on the portable. Bloody hells. Reinstalling everything now, worst thing is I have to try and make sure NWN runs fine within' the next hour or two, as I have to be up at 8am for an event.

The more you learn about computers, the more you know about them, the more you want to toss the bloody bastards into the nearest brick wall. xD

Were you running Vista? It did the same to me. Its actually possible to salvage the files on the hard-drive by plugging them in as external drives into a different computer. But its probably a little late to tell you that if you already installed over it. >.>

Windows xp...still getting lag with Win7 install.

My Ping is around 300 even in low end times. It never was like this before the server move.

Well, the server was moved to another continent. There's the possibility that you simply get a lousy route now.

I did a tracert from Autralia and it seems this company is sloooooooow.

I've found the same, at least the times I tried.

Well, if you all popup a dos box and do "tracert ww.amiaworld.net" we can try to figure out what's the issue.
