Please read my issues carefully--
My problem is that, my character freezes in mid-air like I've been hit with null-entropy while the action around me, FRAMERATE, AND ALL PLAYERS, AND MONSTERS continue unaffected! I can even shoot and kill things while floating in mid-air (so I think its not net-lag) and I can even translocate in place!
To perfectly emulate my problem, shoot yourself with a Null-Entropy gun in-game. Notice you can move your character in place but you cannot walk. Now try to trans-locate. You're STILL frozen, but you can move and kill until the null-entropy wears off! THAT is the issue that I'm having. Problem is, NOTHING IS HITTING ME. This happens in-game, on ANY server in ANY game-type!
well...sorry to say that but welcome "in my world"... i have exactly same problem for long time, and i cant do nothing against it. you are right
null entro or freeze have the same effects, you stay still at one point, can look around, you can trans, but not walk.
all i can do is watch the connection from me to server with a trace-programm to see if there are some problems, and all to often at one "hop" (or in other word somethig like a "pathnode" from one server to next server between you and the gameserver) it looks like it has troubles or is overload or w/e.
for me as an european player laaag is combined with high ping and some nearbyeffects like looks a bit like sync is lost for a moment, sometimes i have the opposite thing, can hear action around me, i can go to every place in a map incl. using transporters, but i dont see the action which should match with what i hear, example i hear a wand in front of me, killing a teammate (you hear sound "aaaaaaaaaaa" when someone resurect) but you dont see both of them..after some seconds im returning ingame but not on place i was last, i was set to a point where server thinks i should need to be. or when i suicide or get killed and spawn next round it runs normal.
im using windows-"console" and programm called "tracert" to check connection. normally when all runs fine i have 16 "hops" between me and mm-server.
looks like following:
but sometimes, even with "only" 16 hops (looks like it allways 16 in best case) it can be sometimes pings goes up between at one (or more) hop(s), but others still look fine. like following, troubles on two hops:
one in my land (and most time when i have troubles its between 6/7. hop between munich-frankfurt) and one "near" the server, hop number 16, "core1.troy1.waveform.net", which most time looks like havin trouble or high ping when i have problems when playing:
i have no screenshot in moment when it comes to "superlag" situations, when hops start to raise and i see 24-27 hops between me and mm-server. sometimes its like a dead-end. it ends at a hop with troubles, it goes back to hop before, then trying to find another way and in really bad situations i can see 2 or 3 times going back or to other nodes which are normally not displayed under best conditions.
now i try to explain cj-blasts explanation, about why it can be american
players have massive laaags, but i can still play un-affected with my nearly regularly high ping. if american players are living in an "affected area" and are crying about laaag and try to accuse other highpinged non-us-players like me to be reason for their lags, but i or other players in non-affected area(s) still have "no lag here, all runs well" it maybe looks like in the following png-pic (why no pdf possible here?) i tried to make. if i remember right cj´s words like this "normally if you try to connect to a server it goes the shortest way. if there is an area which makes trouble and servers dont run well or are overloaded, players within that area allways have lag, players outside the area notice maybe less lag cause their connection try to bypass the area and find a much better route, even with a bit higher they can play more lagfree and still dont affect other players!"
(amys and others wise peoples note* except you are really a laaager with ultrahighping cause of your own networkproblems which can affect server and other players!)
but here the pic, if my description is "toooo high"...(german phrase) :-)
hope this helps a bit....
