Im having ALOT of trouble connecting (logging in) and then staying connected right now. This forum is losing connection alot too, and some of my friends I've talked to are having trouble connecting (logging in) and if they do, staying connected right now. Online friends.
Anyway, anyone else? How to fix? I've tried different port.
Yes I cannot connect at all to the game right now... keeps telling me that it's either my provider or that the servers are down.
This thread is where you want to go.
But still I fear and still I dare not laugh at the madman!

I had posted a solution on getting connected that was stickied long ago, the post is now gone. I PM'd Lighthouse to see if the support debt will stickie the solution again, it is not mentioned in their help posts
I am still having trouble connecting to freedom server. I can connect to any other server, but as soon as i try to connect to the Freedom server the game crashes on me. I have checked the server status list and it sais that freedom is running. Please send a message back saying what i can do
I have been running the game great....even during 2xp weekend had almost no lag. Then tonight I crashed twice. Once while making a hero (working on their costume), the second while in a mission. Both times I just locked up.

Hmmm, Poking through the links quickly, it seems they all point to issues with the client not the servers. I am sorry being in IT I know for a fact that servers have issues as well. Especially after updating when it seems most of the problems re-emerge.
Sorry not buying it.

But being in IT you would also know that if 99% of your users are online without problems, then the 1% having problems will not be caused by server problems or misconfiguration on the server side.

And it is entirely possible you are wrong. The patch yesterday changed some graphics code. This is affecting some but not others.You cannot assume it is on the users end.

Thanks I was wondering why the map server seemed to have almost no stability. Since the patch I have about 60 seconds from log in to get into a mission or I get disconnected. Not sure why I am always fine inside a mission. While my connection was never super reliable it usually lasted an hour and a half to two hours before that happened. Nothing has changed on my end either.
I've noticed that a friend I play with lots has, since the patch that fixed the wedding veils, had terrible lag in most zones.
This also carries on in to instances where there's not much going on, to the point that doing a simple Longbow base attack for Captain Mako's patron arc gave him 30 seconds between clicking powers and them activating. There weren't many enemies around, and the lag continued even when there were none on the screen.
This is definitely new since the patch. He hasn't changed anything on his machine and other games seem to be running fine at the moment. He's going to try updating graphics drivers, the network activity doesn't seem huge so there's a chance it's something else causing it. It's getting kinda frustrating but I hope something fixes it soon!
I was running fine with the occasion disconnect when I tried to access my base. Now I can't log in becasue it can't find the login servers even though the server board says they are up and I was just running a few minutes ago from this machine. What's up? (Also the occisional disconnect when accessing base is new and an issue.)
I would like to add that since issue 11 I frequently rubberband all the time now, this is more noticable when using SS or SJ. This happenes regardless of what time I am on, how many people are or what area I am in.
My computer is well within the specs required and as I said, I never had these issues before I11.
Just like another poster, I have continues dropouts and spikes all the time. And no it is not my connections either. (I had my cable company check the line and connection).
In all the time I have played COX (three years now) I have never known this game to be so buggy and less time spent towards fixing long standing bugs.
I never had any lag before Issue 11 and the only time I had lag was the times I chose to do a Hamidon raid and even then it wasn't lag it was just slowdown.
Right now standing Striga I get the following.
Duplicate In - 92
Retransmitted - 1
Lost In - 80
Ping - 181
I don't know what it all means but I know from the color bars on the graph that it isn't good. When I last used the net graph prior to I11 it would just be a nice solid green line.

Constant lost connections to map server and now can not conect to db server.. I am on Triumoh not sure if this is game wide, server wide or just my house.
Same problem here too. Just started after the maintenance today.
just checked and i can get to all other servers so looks like triumph is blown a fuse
Five servers down simultaneously. Good times.
EDIT: ...for all of two minutes...I know, I know, "whine moar"...
Yeah Baby, go to love it 5 down and I thought they had upgraded. This is 3 more than when there was the Double xp.
Well considering it was the west coast, I would assume a problem with their router or ISP.

I'm having problems connecting to the game... I need to open up the ports to be able to connect to the game BUT the portforward.com webpage doesn't list my router type which is "ZyXel p335u"
when I try with a different router type I get the numbers I'm supposed to enter but the router config says I can't leave the server IP field empty...
what does that mean? do I need the server IP from the game or do I need to enter some other IP???
"Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles but misguided men."
* Martin Luther King *
The IP address you need to enter is the one for your PC. This is called the 'inside address' that you want the port(s) to be sent to. For multiple IPs, you'll have to define it more than once... if that's possible.
If your PC is using a dynamic IP, you'll likely want to change it to static, then use that to fill out the table.

Hope that helps!

Well, I can't connect to the FTP site to get the Network Information Tool. I get the same kind of error message as when I try to log into the game.
Well, yeah, less for the system to do. You can bump up from there (resolution first, then details, using the *advanced* settings, mind) to get a reasonable balance of pretty vs. playability.
