Hi DEVS,
Just a little question as I tested a lot already. This is about the extreme lag that I get on the Australia Servers.
Very often I just disconnect with Error 4001 ‘Protocol error’. I get over 6000ms delay notification on the screen and then I can just wait for the game to disconnect.
Here some information:
My PC is an Intel I7 8x3800MHz, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. NVidia GTX 670 (2GB model).
All is on Gigabit CAT6 wired network in my house and I have a fast Fibreglass Internet connection.
Still I get, on for instance Vena V, that chunks just take a really long time to load. Chunks on that picture below took about 8 to 10 sec to load.
As you can see in the debug screen it is “waiting for chunks”. The rest looks fine (rendering, FPS etc)
I was monitoring the network activity and it only gets peaks of about 2.7MB/sec from time to time. And with my connection that should be just a little bit of bandwidth.
To let you know my connection speed:
So It is not my PC that is slow, or my Internet that is slow. I am just not receiving data. (or data in time.)
I looked up the IP address of the Vena V Server and started a Trace Route to 54.206.109.110.
Here is the output:

Also a Ping to see the ms.

Ping statistics for 54.206.109.110:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 348ms, Maximum = 348ms, Average = 348ms
My conclusion is that I am not receiving the data in time, or just not at all.
But I cannot do anything about this.
So my question to the DEVS:
Is there anything I can still try to do or do I have to accept that playing on the Australia Servers is just no longer an option for me ? (and that sucks as Diamonds/Emeralds are only on Australia Servers)
Hope to hear from you soon !
