aschapm Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 i join servers that i ping between 15-60 ms on, and i'll run fine for a few minutes but then, inexplicably, i'll start phonejacking even while keeping the low ping! i'll try to reconnect but i still get the same problem. this happens on many different servers, some only a few miles away from me. what could be wrong? i have 1.5/384 dsl with a router, but i'm in the dmz. everything else about my computer is tip-top. help please!

NoodlyGod Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Sounds like a problem with your ISP rather than your personal configuration. You could try using the patch at http://www.speedguide.net but it really sounds like an ISP problem to me. Just in case tho: What OS are you using? Edit: You could also go to http://www.dsl-reports.com to test your line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1zLegacy Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Although it's more than possible, I doubt it's the ISP. I've seen other people have this problem too. One guy even had a T1 line. I have this problem and I have dial-up. I get like 200-300 ping on most servers then after the first 3-5 minutes I start phone jacking (connection interrupted,etc.) too. You also see everyone else running and playing around you right? Like the games still almost in perfect motion but your just froze there because the phone jack? It seems no matter what connection you have you can still get this problem. I can understand someone like me with dial up having this problem, but it seems odd that a guy with a T1, and another user with high end DSL has this problem. The tech guys at Lucasarts can't help you because they, like everyone else, asumes it's a problem with you rather than another glitch in the game. I can honestly say my computers almost perfect, so the only help tech support could offer me was to turn off my firewall, lol. It seems to me if your connection works on other online games perfectly like mine does, then it's just a glitch or bad/incompatible setting in Jedi Outcast. (sigh)I wish Jedi Outcast actually gave you control over the games connection settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoodlyGod Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Hmmm. You're right, it would be odd for someone with that much bandwidth to be having a problem playing an online game. I guess the only other thing I can suggest is similar to what the tech support people said, make sure you're not running anything else. (hit CTRL + ALT + DELETE and make sure everything other than explorer and systray are off.) edit: Although... I know for a while we were having a problem with our DSL. It would get all jittery and crazy, and it turned out to be an isp problem. (Verizon, it's been great for a long while now tho) I'd really suggest going to http://www.dslreports.com and running some of the tests. Especially the packet loss test, you have to sign up but it's well worth it. If you do well on those tests then you know it's not the ISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
