Title: ACK problem - Fixed? or any time estimate?
Post by: s_p on December 21, 2009, 08:06:13 am

Sorry I'm starting this new thread, I couldn't get  a response on this one:
http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=36533.0

I understand that this ACK issue can severely increase the data usage on the connection, which I've a problem with since I'm quite limited in data allowance, for crafting.
Is this the same for mining, fighting etc.?
Also, any indication on when this will be fixed?

I have withdrawl symptoms...

Another thing, unrelated, is there anything that can be done to run the game on public networks (like university and library wi-fi for example)?
When I try to connect on this kind of network, the client displayes both servers as 'failed'.

I'm not very computer savvy, so go easy on me please...

Thanks

we are still trying to figure the problem altough it should have improved already.
as for public places contact your network administrator and ask them to allow 7777 udp

Is there any update on the ACK issue?

I miss playing but I don't want to get shaped for playing a couple hours.
Please relpy and advise if fix has been achieved

Thanks

it's fixed. the real fix needs a client rebuild. but the server has an hack which blocks the back flood. some ways to avoid this: close your inventory and glyph window when purifying glyphs, crafting (avoid having any window in focus except the one of the container)
