That would have been me :) I managed to get to the bug you linked. Strangely enough, I found a good server and had zero problems after trying like 20 servers, literally. Many of them show copious delays on traceroute. I am using an Asus laptop connected to my local LAN, with about 20-50 mbps download and 5 mbps upload to various locations. AMD quad processor (piece of crap, really more of a high-end notebook that gets 7 fps on the default setup) I adjusted my video to be about 114% of the actual screen resolution, turned off all the post-processing, shadows, etc. and lowered my vid memory to 256mb and almost quadrupled my frame rate without too much missing in aesthetics. (Smooth and crude is better than choppy and detailed.) I was afraid my settings had something to do with it the lack of connectivity, but they do not. So don't sacrifice anything there, because I don't think it's a problem with your client. You're probably right about server load. Time of day matters too. Too many people hopping around servers probably makes them thrash a lot. Since tomorrow is still a work day, around 9pm PST I was finally able to find a server that worked. If you find one, bookmark it.

This is a super-fast server I found, but has a lot of people on it. My desync is at 100000, and I'm all over the place. Nobody else on the server seems to be having the same desync problems. traceroute to 50.23.129.109 (50.23.129.109), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 .

I can't get into the bug tracker. When I signed up, it didn't send me a confirmation mail so I can't see the bug. What does it say?

I am having this problem as of today too. I can get the server list fine, but no matter which one I login to, I get redlinked, some red messages saying my character is losing connection and the I get dropped by the server. This is on a Win8 Asus laptop with a 100MB wired connection. If I ping the server I'm logged into (on another machine - Linux box on my local network) it reports ping times < 15 ms. I ran the SpeakEasy speed test from both machines and got consistent high upload and download speeds. So I got curious, and took my laptop to the coffee shop that has a totally inferior wireless connection, and everything worked just fine. I took my computer back home, and I just cannot stay connected to any server for longer than about 15 seconds.
