    Can you post your network configuration please?
    I.e. router, modem or a combo, wired or wireless, if wireless what channel, other computers on the network, and VPNs and then the models of the hardware you are using?

    Just looking at your log, it looks like you are getting flooded.
    See the first page in this thread for more info on flooding and how to resolve it.

    (easiest method is lowering steam's server refresh rate.. unless you have a Thomson router/modem - then you are screwed.)

    The VPN is probably the issue :)

    Hi, I bought this game a few days ago and for some reason, I get 999 ping on every server. I tried net_stats in console and I sometimes have 22,000+ ping. However, when I'm in the ready room I have a constant 200-300 ping, but spikes when I join a team or die.

    I'm also using wireless. Also, when I play TF2, I rarely get lag and have around 50-60 ping.

    http://pastebin.com/YCevqLmF <
    there is my net_log
    http://pastebin.com/akuHQrpf <
    there is my dxd

    My problem is that whenever I open up my server browser a lot of servers are 999 ping with ? for there other statistics. No matter what server I choose to join I'm given a "Attempting Connection" loading screen before it disconnects me. It has me slightly befuddled since the game was running fine not 2 days ago. My computer is hooked directly to my router so its not wireless by any means.

    @nailo sounds like flooding.
    have you tried limiting the rate of server queries ?
    Steam > Settings > In Game > "In game server browser / Max pings per minute"
    Lower this number significantly and see if you still have this issue.

    Also.. you're not u sing a thompson router, are you?

    @Ironhorse

    Thankfully I can say I'm not using a Thompson router. I've just tried what you said about limiting the server queries, I lowered it to the maximum lowest setting but the problem still persists.

    Here is a screenshot of the issue. First time posting a pic to the forums so not sure how to spoiler tag it or whatever *shrugs*

    For the most part its all still the same result. Trying to join a server pulls up the "Attempting Connection" screen followed by a disconnect saying I was unable to establish a connection with the server.

    Can you join off friends from the first try?

    @Ironhorse

    I'm afraid not. When I try it pulls up the server stats and all I get are the ip and a message saying the server is not responding. Spamming the refresh button eventually brings me to the loading screen where I once again get a "Attempting Connection" before the eventual disconnect

    Whether or not its join game or server info I choose when trying to join on a friend its still that same result
  • NailoNailo Join Date: 2013-05-06 Member: 185138Members, Reinforced - Shadow, WC 2013 - Supporter
    First pic is where I've tried joining on a friend and after refreshing a few times it gave me what you see there but still said server is not responding. Thereafter I refreshed it until it tried connecting me to the server upon which I was given the time old message taken in the 2nd pic. The message I get regardless of what server I pick or how I go about joining said servers
  • NailoNailo Join Date: 2013-05-06 Member: 185138Members, Reinforced - Shadow, WC 2013 - Supporter
    What do you think @Ironhorse ? Should I just do a clean re-install? Its the only other thing I can think of.

    No, I am more interested in finding the culprit at this point than risking a reinstall which may magically fix the problem but never show the reason. :p (not that I think it would help though)

    Never seen this before..
    Ok, can you provide me with as much info as you can regarding your network setup ? Modem and router model numbers and software versions, your isp, how many other users are on your network, speed results of your connection (and line quality results to determine things like jitter) etc etc

    If there is anything else you need Ironhorse please let me know so I can get it. After all I'm not sure what you need

    So no separate router?
    And did you do a line test?
    pingtest.net is helpful for me

    p.s. your modem gets terrible reviews

    no router, apparently my modem can work wonders like that *shrugs* I'm trying to use pingtest but I keep getting errored saying the server is down or my firewall is blocking it. I cut off my firewall so my firewall ain't the issue there
  • NailoNailo Join Date: 2013-05-06 Member: 185138Members, Reinforced - Shadow, WC 2013 - Supporter
    Also @Ironhorse I did the line test on another website and I got the stats of 9.62 download, and .67 upload. Alongside ping 64ms. Never knew my modem was considered so bad. But for the most part I've been playing NS2 for a long time without this issue cropping up

    im looking for packet loss and whats called "jitter" more than download speeds.
    Most line test sites can provide this..
    It is very telling btw, that pingtest.net isnt working for you.. did you accept the java runtime?
  • NailoNailo Join Date: 2013-05-06 Member: 185138Members, Reinforced - Shadow, WC 2013 - Supporter
    Indeed I did. Cuts off halfway though giving the message that either my firewall is blocking it or the server id down

    Ok so just a thought here:

    Can you confirm that those servers which show up as 999 ping are actually join-able by having another friend join it sucessfully?
    I ask this because some of those servers in that pic you provided are servers which had not updated the latest build that was released today. (like mavicks)

    I can confirm it @Ironhorse . IBISgaming is one and also lets not forget that I actually started having this issue the day before yesterday only not as bad. So its not a patch related issue I'm afraid
    I have both ZeroIBIS and Joe<IBIS> friended and both have played on IBISgaming today

    can u get the server ip from your friends or any other method (in the console while trying to connect?)

    Then exit ns2 and go to
    Start > type "command prompt" in the search bar > select command prompt > type "tracert thentheipaddresshere" > hit enter and then post the results here

    So far I'm getting this
    1 * * * Request Timed Out
    2 * * * Request Timed Out
    3 * * * Request Timed Out
    and it has kept repeating this up to 16 so far

    @Ironhorse it went to 30 repeating like above timing out each and every time
