Client Is F-Ed
#1
Posted 04 March 2020 - 10:49 PM
Can't que. Can click on it but no response. Can go to the store and switch mechs, but can't que.
Longgggggggggggg loading times. And I mean long.
If I can que, and it's dead hours, I'll get the error "Can't find match" I'll then get the first problem again, only this time, it sometimes still ques just without the loading. I'll be thrown into a game without knowing, and then slapped with a penalty for leaving.
Exiting and logging back in fools the client into thinking I'm a new player and that I must play through the tutorial to play. Skipping the tutorial brings me into a blank mech lab without trial mechs or anything to display.
Think that covers the gist of my client. Solutions tried:
Validating files. Nothing.
Redownloading the game. Nothing
Deleting all files to force a validation. Worked...Sort of. Still get all the problems.
What triggers it? Well, If I afk for a few minutes at the mech lab, it will trigger the problem, or if I'm sitting in que too long. Not sure what other solution I could try at this point, getting a little irritated.

Power Options, set to High Performance
Nvidia GPU? - Power Management Mode - change from Adaptive to Max Performance
Reboot Router/modem. Make sure computer heatsinks are cleared of dust buildup and fans are running properly.
And is your ISP Suddenlink/Altice/Optimum?
And play in Full Windowed Mode and not Full Screen mode.
Reset Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) settings
Navigate to the desktop. (From Home, tap or click the Desktop tile).
Right-click the Start button (the Windows logo in the lower-left).
Choose Command Prompt (Admin).
When asked whether to allow Command Prompt to make changes to your computer, select Yes.
Note: If you are asked for an administrative login, you will need to contact your system administrator.
Type "ipconfig /flushdns" and press Enter.
Type "ipconfig /registerdns" and press Enter.
Type "ipconfig /release" and press Enter.
Type "ipconfig /renew" and press Enter.
Type "netsh winsock reset" and press Enter.
Restart the computer.

- Im running a beast of a rig with updated drivers. Power management isn't the issue.
Reboot Router/modem. Make sure computer heatsinks are cleared of dust buildup and fans are running properly.
-99% positive it isn't related to my net or id be disconnected completely. Still a relatively high performance for wifi.
And is your ISP Suddenlink/Altice/Optimum?
-Comcast
And play in Full Windowed Mode and not Full Screen mode.
- Already full windowed.
Reset Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) settings
- I'll give this a shot but again, I'm pretty sure it's related to the game, not hardware or internet.

I should stress my PC isn't made from the early 2000s, ran this game fine up until recently.

And you do not play in a controlled and enclosed environment. Just on your system Windows updates, which by default also include driver updates, then other programs on the computer. Then there are all the companies your system connects, from your ISP to the world wide wide and the different server locations for MWO.
/shrugs All of the "suggestions" are general troubleshooting steps, to remove/clear up potential problem areas. Did you simply post here to just complain, or to also ask for assistance?
And so what if you have a monster of a machine? Have had players report that in the end, it was one program or another that had recently had an update that had been causing their game issues.
A issues described are primarily connectivity related. And since you are not sitting above nor next door to the set of servers.... and you do connect to at least 2 set of servers, the authentication/base servers, mechlab/store/etc then when you launch a drop you are being connected to 3 other servers, all at different locations.
Modem/router - see above.
Power Options - by default Balance puts cores and other computer components to sleep. Initial setups are for the general population, not gamers nor high power users, never mind hibernation/etc involved.
Lastly, troubleshoot using one or two different VPN.

- Which is why I said it's my client. Not hardware, not my ISP, not my modem (Which I reset anyways to tickle your pickle), it's the game itself. You can have a unique problem with a client. Your assistance sucks though.
And so what if you have a monster of a machine? Have had players report that in the end, it was one program or another that had recently had an update that had been causing their game issues.
- Cool, if they have had the same issue, why aren't they posting solutions to it, rather than getting someone who just googles some internet troubleshooting advice that any other weeb could have looked up? Gtfo lol.

-lolno I'll be more than happy to provide my DL/UL when I encounter this issue again, but they're not related. Every other program I was running has been connected to the internet, and no it should not affect the client since I run these same programs in the background without any ill effect until now.
Modem/router - see above.
Power Options - by default Balance puts cores and other computer components to sleep. Initial setups are for the general population, not gamers nor high power users, never mind hibernation/etc involved.
- Well would you look at that, my power options is defaulted to balanced and not power saving...Weeeeeird.

**** yeah, I love these passive aggressive posts from google nerds.
Answers provided again. You want to be a **** weed about it my man, you can spin on my finger and make some funny noises.
Edit - I went ahead and decided to trigger the problem for afking about 10 minutes.
Ran a quick speed test (note: well aware it shouldn't be a be all end all tool but it's more or less to prove it a point).
DL: 186.5
UL: 32.6
For those that don't know what those numbers mean, it means my internet is really good.

Edit - Because I really do like being helpful.. and if it is not a connectivity issue/pathing, then tis time to review what programs are running, recent updates, etc which might be affecting MWO behavior.. Now that will be a loads of fun and is time consuming, especially if a clean boot does not help.

You Sir are being an ***!! Tarl is only trying to help & you are reacting like an SJW at a Trump tea party.
Your internet can be the best in the whole universe & some games can have issues. Maybe you should use that internet speed to Google packet loss, your numbers really mean nothing except it was fast at the moment it was tested.

I'm not suffering any packet loss either, well aware of what that is too.

Fixed the client. Removed an old sound mod from Haven that messed with the client. Put the updated version on and it's been working beautifully since.
Gotta love it when I'm right.

Second, I gave my answers, and rebuked that it was my client, not my internet or hardware, which I knew it wasn't to begin with. It wasn't until I got an asinine response that I was here complaining rather than looking for a solution from someone who just googled some very basic troubleshooting answers. So yeah, I'm an ********. I'm not going to play this stupid ****** game of whose the bigger adult. You can go screw off into the sunset if you don't like my attitude.
At the end of this thread, i'm petty as ****, I have a low tolerance for stupidity, and I dealt with quite a few of stupid people in this game, and especially on this forum. I think there's like 10% of the users on this forum with an IQ above room temp. If your opinion changes of me because of this thread, I have one very simple response:

Any modified file can cause a problem when a program updates. The older the file, the more likely it is to cause issues. When you use a modified file for a program, you always take the risk that it will cause problems within the game/program.

You suggested a passive aggressive post BEFORE any such post was created, while trouble shooting questions were still being posted. Please, upgrade your memory, I think you need more of it.
