Loki D3, connection issues

Post by xyon »

Hey all,

I had used Loki D3 for Linux for quite a few years without too many problems. After a couple years of not playing, I decided to install the Loki D3 and give it a shot.

Since using this latest install, I am having trouble staying connected to servers. I will notice that I stop picking up weapons/powerups and then end up getting disconnected shortly thereafter. If, when I notice the lag in picking up weapons/powerups, I type/chat something, my ping count will spike (typically to 500ms or so) for a second or two, then my connection stabilizes for a minute or two.

To me, it sounds like some sort of states issue, but we're talking UDP here, and anyway my firewall is states-aware (other services, games, etc do not have this issue).

Is this possibly some known issue with Loki that I just didn't encounter before? Is there perhaps a fix?

Within ~/.loki/descent3/.Descent3Registry, I have:

Code: Select all

\"ConnectionSpeed\"=\"Fast\"
