Loki D3, connection issues
Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2008 8:32 pm
Hey all,
I had used Loki D3 for Linux for quite a few years without too many problems. After a couple years of not playing, I decided to install the Loki D3 and give it a shot.
Since using this latest install, I am having trouble staying connected to servers. I will notice that I stop picking up weapons/powerups and then end up getting disconnected shortly thereafter. If, when I notice the lag in picking up weapons/powerups, I type/chat something, my ping count will spike (typically to 500ms or so) for a second or two, then my connection stabilizes for a minute or two.
To me, it sounds like some sort of states issue, but we're talking UDP here, and anyway my firewall is states-aware (other services, games, etc do not have this issue).
Is this possibly some known issue with Loki that I just didn't encounter before? Is there perhaps a fix?
Within ~/.loki/descent3/.Descent3Registry, I have:
