[Recster]

holy mother of fuck i'm sick of getting the packet lose message! does anyone know how to fix this or is it just sony or my computer or something?!

[Hamma]

Sounds like it might be an issue with your ISP..

I get it on 56k a bit, but never here at work on the T1 line. (duh)

What's your connection?

[Recster]

I have a cable connection going over a wireless network but i never got packet lose befoer the new patch

[powdahound]

You got it, you just didn't know because they hadn't added that screen yet.

With wireless you'll always lose packets unless you're VERY close (and nothing is blocking) to your transmitter.

why are u using wireless its slow the fastest u can go with is 802.11g and thats 54mb/s if your lucky

I got a "wired" network and i get exactly the same problem. Bin emailing SOE and they trying to help at the moment, check your sound drivers first, then make sure ports 1023-12500 are open.
If that fails give them an email...

i just relized that my computer isn't connecting to my wireless network. instead its connecting to some other network somewhere in my neighborhoood. that might be my problem

[powdahound]

That'd do it!

Even an 11b network has plenty of throughtput to handle PS (trust me). In fact, once you get associated with the right access point, try slowing your connection down. Force your card to 5mbps.

The slower speed will help keep you from dropping so many packets.

PS: If you don't think that 54mbps is enough speed, just think about how fast your internet connection is. Even a T1 (1.54mbps) would easily fit into 54mbps.

ok I got my comp running on my wireless network but i'm still getting packet lose.

[powdahound]

11b is not 54mb/s, that's 11g...

11b does have enough to handle planetside just fine though, I was just playing.

If it's just home wireless why don't you just plug in instead?

cause my dad refuses to run a wire through the rooms

You'll just have to deal with it then... Sending information through walls will always result in a little PL.

Slow your card down to 5 or maybe even 2mbps. The reduced speed turns into increased accuracy in the packets coming through.
