I get endless failing to connect at either the "match loading" screen, or just before it, at a black screen, at least half the times I try to connect to a match.

This started a week ago after 4 years of no problems.

Watching the IP traffic from the MWO client, I can ping all the IP addresses it's connecting to. Occasionally in tests I see up to 5% packet loss.

Can anyone suggest what could be going wrong, or how to fix it?

? Don't you know that making multiple threads means information/data gets lost, has to be asked for again, etc?

Have you rebooted your computer, router and modem?

Location I believe you noted in a post as being Middle East.

Wired or wireless?

Have you tried VPN to possibly bypass problematic router systems/throttling issues?

Have you sent a ticket in?

Some time when I get a black screen

I control alt delete to Task Manager

wait 5 seconds then press Escape

Seems to restore MWO app for me

Thanks, I will try that also.

Thank you for your recently-added suggestion of a VPN in the first thread. I am trying that now.

As long as I receive no responses to a thread more than 24 hours after it was posted, I will keep making new threads in new places until I finally find someone that can and wants to help me.

The first thread was primarily to ask for server IPs. This, my 2nd thread, was to ask for suggestions on the problem. My 3rd thread, just last night in the General Forum, provoked some responses from fellow players, and I have been working through their troubleshooting advice all day. (The 4th link you gave above has nothing to do with this issue.)

As reported in my 3rd and most recent thread, here is what I've tried so far:
Installed the non-Steam version of MWO.
Tried to connect to different (EU, NA) game servers.
Flushed my DNS cache.
Powered off/restarted all my routers.
Turned off my PC's Firewall.
Shut down every unnecessary background process on my PC.
Posted in the Patch Feedback forum.
Installed MWO on a different machine in my house.
Watched IP traffic from MWO client. Can ping all IP addresses. 5% packet loss.

None of the above have so far solved the problem.

Thanks again for your help.

Accessing MWO through a VPN temporarily solved the problem.

So I will hop on the phone to my ISP tomorrow and try to get them to do something to fix their routing.

Thanks again.
