Re: Is Age of Conan being Traffic Managed Properly?

Thanks for the info,
Yes I know, I know, just pissed at being unable to use something I've paid for, that and my gf's out leveling me!!!
Over the years i've been happy with plus.net 99.9% of the time.

Re: Is Age of Conan being Traffic Managed Properly?

I've just had the change control for this work passed to me for final approval so we should be able to make the necessary changes today all being well. I'll post back here with confirmation once the work has been completed.
Edit: The changes are now live so I'd appreciate any feedback.

Re: Is Age of Conan being Traffic Managed Properly?

Port 7030 seems to be used by the game and is going through as Silver still. 7025 is going through as Titanium. Ping was a reasonable 72ms and seemed smooth. I'll have to try and check again at peak time since I've not played then yet. Will probably find port 7030 causes some problems.

I don't think you necessarily need to but have you disconnected and reconnected since the work was completed?

Re: Is Age of Conan being Traffic Managed Properly?

I have disconnected and reconnect and run Wireshark again.
TCP port 7030 is communicating with 213.244.186.133 and has Silver Priority.
TCP port 7025 is communicating with 213.244.187.29 and is Titanium Priority.
The first port isn't as active as the second. So I'm guess its not used for gameplay. Maybe chat or the login server?

Only played for a very brief amount of time tonight, but ping was sitting around 60-80ms which is great.
I also ran wireshark against it and it is flagging as 0xa0 now, so seems fine for the moment as far as im concerned.

@Firejack, would be interested to know if your performance issues continue. Let us know how you get on.

Re: Is Age of Conan being Traffic Managed Properly?

Hi Peeps,
I was one of the guys who sent a ticket in Monday - I got impatient for the changes to be made (although they were still pretty damn quick) and had a look through the forums and seemed to get a good result from the following command:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disable
I fired this off and rebooted - after that got thru login and in game without any issues at all
Running Vista Ultimate with a Netgear DG???? router
Maybe try that as well if u are still having problems and a similar setup

Re: Is Age of Conan being Traffic Managed Properly?

I'm very pleased to say you appear to have fixed the problems i had.  I was able to play all evening from 6pm to midnight without a single issue, the latency never went over 100ms.
My last ISP took over a month and a half to fix a similar issue, which is why i moved, so i cant praise you all enough Smiley

Looks like that IP belongs to the chat server. Was getting some noticeable lag when typing. Shall I sent this Wireshark grab in?

Re: Is Age of Conan being Traffic Managed Properly?

I was one of the guys who posted the other night to report this issue too.
I would like to report back that I was online last night 8pm to 11pm and never experienced any problems at all.
Thanks for the prompt turnaround on this issue.

How is chat for you Kazari? Try typing 10 messages quickly into Guild chat. Does your text appear instantly? Seems to be a delay on mine.
