I am using Linux and can't join any server. I either get \"kicked because of low connection\" or some kind of pps thing. This happens immediately after joining. I have a 118 ms ping time. I asked over at PD and thought I would try here before using irc.
Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks in advance,

In D3 for windows you can set the \"Network connection speed\". This value reflects the PPS and is stored in the registry. On a Mac, this setting is stored in a file name \"Descent Prefs\" as ConnectionSpeed = Fast, may be similar in the Linux version.
