Quote:Either, it makes no difference. I can run the XP vm right from my macbook pro seconds after having the issue in OS X and no issues at all. I did try going wired but no change. Strange thing happened last night, I was suddenly getting some random 'normal' zone times. It was wonderful, hopefully it keeps up. Nothing was changed either to bring about this.Originally Posted by CuppaManga
It's definitely a connection issue. Are you using the wireless that comes with your AT&T modem or your own? Or is the Windows PC or Mac directly connected? -
Quote:After 2+ hours with ATT support I got nowhere. They did ask if others with ATT were having the issue though.Originally Posted by CuppaManga
What's also weird there is I think CaptainMoodswing also has ATT and is having similar zone load issues (only with disconnects too).
I also ruled out the issue is with any of my settings, caches and a user issue. Also did a reinstall of snow leopard and no luck there either. I has to be something to do with the OS since my XP machines can trace out fine and have no issue but what that the problem is I have no idea. Thinking of calling Apple support and seeing what they say....probably that it's ATT's problem

Quote:I have wired and wireless for the XP PCs and both work fine, I tried my macbook pro wired and wireless as well. No lag spikes or dropped packets in game either, netgraph is as clean as it can be. Very odd issue but I have ATT working on it as well since the hop in question is theirs. Maybe the new client will help too.Originally Posted by CuppaManga
Is your Windows XP computer wireless or wired? And the Mac?
Log in and type /netgraph 1 - are you getting red or yellow lines? If so you may be suffering from the network issue that a lot of people are experiencing tonight.
Also, the new Mac client hasn't published yet, the one you're using is still the same from Issue 15 (no it doesn't mean you're using Issue 15, just that Cider hasn't been updated). A couple of critical issues with the new client (still on the training room) delayed its publish. -
Quote:Hopefully support will get back to you asap so you can rule out if it's on their end. To me it sounds like you're 'stuck' on their servers, I'm not sure how their system goes but I would think they can see your session and clear it out if that is the case. Why it's happening would be the next question then, hopefully it's a one time deal for you :/Originally Posted by CaptainMoodswing
Update: I have a partition with Windows XP on it. I updated it and encountered the exact same issue. Can not log in to my Defender in Pocket D. Get the popup that says No mapserver.
Again, this is on the Windows XP partition. -
Just a quick update and also to see if I can get some help. I'm still having the long zoning times, hasn't changed a bit. After working with CoH support, who told me that I16 would fix it, I've gotten nowhere HOWEVER I think I may have found the problem.
When doing a trace route to the CoH servers, per support so give them that one, a very odd thing occurs (see below):

The part to note is hop 6, it hangs before that then (just like my loading screen) BLAMO moves on and shoots those 3 replies for hop 6. The very odd thing is it's purely OS X based. What I mean is that if I do the same trace from my XP box, from the router, or even from my XP VM inside of OS X I do not get that!
Oddly enough I also don't have the load times in XP either. So what is causing this within OS X and specifically what caused it with the Snow Leopard update. Also to note is that once past the zone screens I get no lag or any issues until I go to zone again then I cry.
Things I've tried so far:
-disabled all startup items
-quit all no essential processes
-tried different tcp/ip settings, manual dhcp full allow on the router etc
-tried both wireless and wired connections
-checked the console logs (though there's a ton of them so if I know specifically where to look that may help)
Any suggestions? I'm determined to fix this issue but I must say it is driving me insane
-
I'm glad to see this working for others so I know it's not the update itself. Just to update my issue, I've tried just about everything I can think of. I went in game and messed with graphic settings, resolution, etc and most I can squeeze out is a second or two difference. I also did a restart and then went through and killed every process not essential, didn't make a bit of difference. Also watched activity monitor and found that it never even takes up all the RAM and CPU is hardly hit.
When I go to zone it sits on the 'City of X' screen for the majority of the load, then once it gets to the screen with the zone name on it the load will take about 10-15 seconds. During the time it's stuck on the 'City of X' screen it's like the system just takes a nap, CPU about goes to nothing and same with network traffic.
I also tested my connection, on ATT uverse fiber, and I'm consistently getting what I should be and it seems very stable. I'm just about out of ideas at this point, any suggestions would be appreciated. There is the hope that the I16 client somehow fixes this for me but I have my doubts

How much RAM do you have?

Quote:I did run netgraph today and it looks good, no spikes or dropped packets. Load times are roughly a minute today so slightly better but still not good especially when it was a lot faster before. Support has been no help yet, only suggestion was 'try windowed mode'.Originally Posted by CuppaManga
Just tested:
I'm getting 30-45 seconds into zones (45 sec from Oroborous into Atlas Park, 35 seconds Atlas to Steel) on Live and Test both, and 15 seconds into Oroborous.
It's a little longer than it was, but not hugely. Did you check to see if you have red spikes on your Netgraph (use /netgraph 1 in game)? That would indicate connection issues, which would slow down zone loads significantly. -
Quote:Yes, thank you. I should have been more clear. The initial load time is fine it's the zoning that is horrible now.Originally Posted by macskull
I think he means his zoning times have increased.
-
I installed it this weekend and it hasn't gotten any better. I can't find any reason for it either, memory and cpu both aren't pegged. I did open a support case and also did a clean install of CoH today but no luck. Load times are anywhere from 1 to 2 mins now

It's pretty much the best arc in the system right now, no joke. Excellent writing and great ending, along with being well-balanced in terms of enemy types and encounter difficulty. -
Anybody having longer load times after the snow leopard upgrade? The only difference I've found so far is that my load times went through the roof right after I upgraded. Curious to see if it's just me.

Wow very nice, great work!

Wow great post, I love the ideas. Being able to expand on the zones that already exist and getting people/teams in there for PvE content would be a huge help and lots of fun. Those same people coming in for a PvE mission may just start putting on that PvP flag, do a mission then some PvP then onto the next mission.
Very complex and well thought out post, I really hope at least some of the ideas get implemented down the road. -
That's correct, works on a Mac as well
Great thread BillZ!! -
Great job, very nicely done
