Extreme Packetloss
Hello, this makes about week 5-6 that this has been happening,
we also had a big server crash after the fact that this was happening to
me, a few other players are saying they are experiencing the same
issue. It does seem like a packet loss issue, I have ran MANY tests on
my end, my ping is around 11 all of the time the issue I have is "stutter lag" and it happens when someone is
chasing/attacking me 2-3 people will cause me to lock up every 2 steps over
and over until I am dead and the lag will be gone.
I have tried the following...
- 5+ other games with no lag at all.
- Reset router/ip/dns etc..
- Contacted service provider (no issues found)
- ran a tracert to the server (Experiencing multiple time outs aka packet loss etc speaking to the server)
- ran a ping test (850+ download 850+ upload)
- not a pc issue as I have a very high end computer, running with no issues on even the most demanding games.

I
have played the server for 2 years and RARELY ever experience any lag, the
only time I experience anything even remotely similar is when large events are being hosted, without even knowing their is an event running
in another facet I will be lagging in Felucca while pvping, once this
happens I have to turn on a VPN to change my location in order to play
so this tells me that the location that the servers are located in are
effecting people on the east coast for whatever reason?... Anyone that can look into this? Thanks
Here is a test on something else with no packet loss.

the whole sub server is still really laggy for every single player. Too laggy to play on so we have to skip it.
Your second image I'm guessing shows illegal 3rd party clients, well done. Again 0 packet loss.
Your 3rd image is a bandwidth test, not a ping test, and is pretty irrelevant.
UO can run on a sega genesis so that's an odd/unnecessary flex 'very high end computer'.
So no idea where you are getting this idea of packet loss from? Learn networking.

Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
You tried uninstalling/reinstalling?
I think someone had this before and think it was a problem with their main “special” file
the one with all the “stuff” that fixes things
I vividly recall a time years ago when EA were using Suddenlink for routing, UK was cut off from Europa for 8 hours because of one of their routers in Southampton, which I eventually persuaded my isp to trace and locate. The shard was fine, players connecting to it from USA and Mainland Europe were fine, so the Devs of the time were unaware of any problem. Took a while to convince my isp that I knew what I was talking about so they investigated the problem, but it did get solved in the end - though I think Suddenlink lost the contract shortly after.
Yep, players had the same issue when I was admin on Hybrid freeshard, I also had the issue at the time, it was looked into and it was a problem with the server host and the route, most players were fine, but there was about 5% that couldn't even play, they upgraded their server location and never heard another complaint. (Not saying I want them to change server locations for me) but I would at least like to know that the issue has been addressed and heard and investigated before deactivating my accounts due to not being able to play. (I have no lag on any freeshard, game, etc running the same client)
The first place to start is:
run full file check
your router, get an upgraded one from your provider.
still problems, ask the provider why you cant connect.
get a new provider
Have you tried on a different computer in the house?

Once again I'll mention that I've explained it all in my first reply.
@Mariah @Rorschach think it's that time...

Please let this thread stay open as we can further investigate this issue and not close it down unresolved.
Why am I getting packet loss
>You're not getting packet loss
Shows picture of 0 packet loss Why am I getting packet loss?
>You're not getting packet loss. It says 0.
Well when I tracert i get packet loss
>That's not packet loss
Why does it show those hosts as blank and no ping
>That's not packet loss
Why am I getting packet loss
>You show no proof of packet loss
??????????????????????
Round and round we goooooooooooooooooooo.
When the OP DEMONSTRATES THAT HE IS GETTING PACKET LOSS WE CAN HELP.
THE OP IS NOT GETTING PACKET LOSS, THEREFORE: (can anyone fill this in?).

With all the things I have open while playing UO, I would not be able to use a 1990s game console to play UO comfortably.
