Problems Connecting?

Anyone been having problems connecting? Every time in the last two weeks I have been trying to connect, it loads the map (fast), finishes @ 100%... Then, shows the downloading sequence again at a really slow rate with an eventual connection error. Any ideas? I reapplied 3369 (for giggles) with no luck.

Clear your cache - it's happened to me too (hopefully that will help)

I cleared the Cache, tried to attach and "no workie"... The map downloaded fast and then downloaded slow (253% was a sign to F10).

I've had that happen to me as well - hmmm.... have you checked to see if you already have that map in your directory? Or perhaps parts of it? If it isn't a version issue, or a cache issue, then I'm at a loss.

No worries, I appreciate the assist. I notice on my wife's PC, I also get the connectivity issue as well. It may be something with the Service Provider. I'll head that route next.

I installed the monster pack and fixed the connection issues. Enkie, I say... Enkie! Thanks for the assist.

The problem you described is caused by either the redirect server not having the same version of the file on the game server, or a file you have installed on your system didn't match the servers.

when you connect, the files needed are downloaded from a webserver. Then the md5 sums are checked with the file on the game server...if they don't match then the file is downloaded from the game server.
The file on the game server is not compressed like the file on the web server...that is why you will see the percentage go above 100%. Also the game server is designed to limit the connection speed to every player...this limit is <50kps.

Having the monster pack installed probably caused the problem...plus once the newer file is downloaded into your cache you won't have to download it again for 30 days.
