Mystic Fortune Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) This has been happening off and on for a good 2 weeks. We had been having issues with our internet speed, along with issues with internet in the area all last week, leading up to a complete outage on Saturday. Apparently someone decided to play chicken with a pole and knocked out the service in our area for the entire day. Once they repaired the pole our service was restored around 6 pm on Saturday, but the speed issues persisted. Fast forward to yesterday when we had an Xfinity Technician come out. They replaced our modem and also capped off the cable lines that we were no longer using since we had recently dropped Xfinity's cable TV service. Replacing the modem and capping the lines appears to have solved the speed issues...,However, I am still randomly losing connection to the game. I know it has to be related to CoH as my brother who's using the same internet connection to play World of Warcraft hasn't had any issues. Since replacing the modem this has happened 4 times this morning between midnight and 4 am PST, and twice this afternoon around 2:30 and 4 pm. This is only happening with CoH. While I was waiting for tonight's costume contest to begin I lost connection to the server while still maintaining a connection to Discord and able to browse the internet with no issues. This is beyond frustrating... Edited March 6, 2020 by Mystic Fortune
Mystic Fortune Posted March 7, 2020 Author Posted March 7, 2020 So I feel like a complete idiot. This appears to have been solved on my end. I'm too embarrassed to reveal what the issue appears to have been... So yeah, this thread can be removed. I'm going to go hang my head in shame now... Spoiler It was a bad Ethernet Cable... 1
Retired Game Master GM Tock Posted March 8, 2020 Retired Game Master Posted March 8, 2020 You know how many times I've had bad cables? Don't even trip. 🙂 We've all been there.
WanderingAries Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 If it makes you feel better. I 'always' forget to plug in / flip the breaker on a PSU when putting a machine back together. >.< OG Server: Pinnacle <||> Current Primary Server: Torchbearer || Also found on the others if desired <||> Generally Inactive Installing CoX: Windows || MacOS || MacOS for M1 <||> Migrating Data from an Older Installation Clubs: Mid's Hero Designer || PC Builders || HC Wiki || Jerk Hackers Old Forums <||> Titan Network <||> Heroica!
