Trondyne Posted June 10, 2019 Author Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Antivirus software? Firewalls? Proxy servers? Anything weird? You've already gone full nuclear with the clean windows install but I've known a few tech-y individuals that have shot themselves in the foot from time to time because their "clean" installs included overclocking software and 10 programs with real time monitoring and elaborate security measures. :lol: If you haven't already, disable any and all software of that nature so you've got your bare ass in the breeze minus basic Windows Defender and give it a whirl. If that doesn't change anything or you've tried it, test with a hardwired connection or at another location if you're the type that doesn't mind dragging their tower around occasionally. This should determine if the problem lies with your hardware or with your ISP. Some routers may also close connections automatically, give the settings a thorough inspection for anything that could be kicking you out. Thanks. No, nothing was installed other than DCS because this was done for DCS... Windows was also "debloated" and lastly network optimized.... After the last few tweaks I find DCS acting slightly different and I am getting onto servers more often, usually servers with low pings, <90, although not often enough... I can't really drag the tower to a wired location (too far) but I am going to continue optimizing this connection... I have tripled the bandwidth or more and reduced latency considerably... I have a couple more changes I am going to make and I think with those I may be able to get performance in a useful range to use DCS, which is proving to be a very finicky app when it comes to network play...

If they are in the same circuit, great, proceed to step 3 2 - In case they're not in the same circuit, find the closest socket that is in the same circuit as the router's. 3 - Order a pair of these: US version UK version EU version 4- Connect one PLC adapter to the router's wall socket (directly) and the other to a socket in the same circuit, around the computer area (also directly). 5- Connect the respective ethernet cables and follow the instructions to sync both adapters. 6- Test DCS as many times as you have to. Outcome 1- If the problem is solved, that's your proof that WiFi was the culprit. Decide whether to keep the adapters or RMA. Then come back here and thank me. :D Outcome 2- If the problem isn't solved, RMA. Then come back here and tell me how wrong I was :cry: Either way, this test shouldn't cost you any money (not permanently anyway). Edited June 11, 2019 by Hardcard [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
