Dazza290 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 Hello all, As some may be aware, I keep getting a high ping in Rfactor. Now I am on AOL, which I know isnt the best anyway, but I have raced all last year and the start of this year with no problms what so ever. And I still cant see any problems either! I run a speedtest on speedtest.net, it says upload was a fraction over 6mps, upload was about 0.37mbps and the ping was reading 41. However when I go into a server on rFactor, (any server, not just Ukdirt ones) the ping is reading well over 300. I reset me router etc etc and tried it and it went down to 71 but today it has shot back up again. I have run C cleaner which hasnt helped it all, and was wondering if anyone else has had any problems? Any info would be appreciated, Darren

Cheers for the reply mate, but it seems I have narrowed it down a little further. During the week I would test my ping in the server to qhich it was reporting a good 16-27, and all seeemd well. Checked today and its back showing at 400. So I went into another server and its running at about 40 which is ok, so the problem seems to be the connection to the Uk Dirt server. How the buggering tits do I sort that! Help appreciated as always! Darren
Dazza290 Posted November 28, 2009 Author Report Posted November 28, 2009 Hello again, Ok, I've now switched to Virgin and for the first month the connection was spot on. But now it seems to be the same thing happeneing, speeed of over 6mps but the ping in Rfactor can be 200 +. Even heat is un playable lol. Now what could cause this, Ive done some searches and the only one it seems is spyware or anti virus but Ive done all this before and nothing seems to have happened. Speedtest.net and pingtest.net are both reading that my ping is in the 50's yet it seems much higher when entering servers? Anymore ideas? Please!! Cheers Darren
Pedz 212 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) lo,have you got all updates off and they can give problems imo,what anti virus program do you run ? are you on xp/vista or seven? you can download malwarebytes and ccleaner as they can help keep your pc cleaner etc mot sure if ukdirt reset servers would help in anyway but you can always ask but in not sure if they get restart regular or not Edited November 29, 2009 by Pedz 212

Im currently running AVG as I've never seem to have had any problems with it. I have used CCleaner, Spybot and AVG anti virus scans. Im currently running an Ad aware to see if it picks up any different. and its XP Home. Leek is kind enough to restart server for me when they are not in use but the problem is the same if I race Uk Dirt ones, Sim Stox ones or others. Very strange, but has to be somethign silly. Cheers again, Darren
LittleLeech774 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Posted November 29, 2009 I am always getting a high ping in sim-stox servers aswell dazza but in ukdirt servers its fine
drumbstick Posted December 6, 2009 Report Posted December 6, 2009 I am always getting a high ping in sim-stox servers aswell dazza but in ukdirt servers its fine Dazza have you installed the sim raceway plugin
LittleLeech774 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Posted December 6, 2009 Does that help drumb or does it make it worse if so i will download and try see if it keeps my ping low in sim-stox servers
Dazza290 Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Posted December 6, 2009 No Drumb, I've onlt heard bad things about the plugin so never bothered. I've seem to have sorted it now, I've bought new cables for absoultely everything and my speed and ping times are the best I've ever had! Thanks for all the help though lads, Darren
