    Thumbs down Q3 connection?

    Whenever I try to play online, I keep getting a "Connection Interrupted" error. I'm running over 512K DSL, so it's not a slow connection. Sometimes the game crashes totally.

    Milenko's server is fun, but I can't really enjoy it until this f*ing problem is fixed.

    Any ideas?!?

    What is your network connection set at in the game?
    If it aint broke, TWEAK it!
    When in doubt, throw it out!!

    If yer net connection in quake3 is set to a 56k modem, you could be hooked directly into a major backbone and still be laggy.

    Good call Taz.

    Try setting it a notch lower....

    then test it.... if it still lags, try going down one more notch. I am on a cable connection and I got it set to one notch below Cable/DSL.

    The only other option if neither of those work, get cable! LOL Or play at LAN partys... lol

    I don't think this is a Quake 3 issue. It sounds like you have poor line quality. Go to <a href="http://www.dslreports.com" target="_blank">www.dslreports.com</a> and do a <a href="http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks" target="_blank">Tweak Test</a> and then a <a href="http://www.dslreports.com/linequality" target="_blank">Line Quality Test</a> and see if that reveals any problems. Also try pinging the Quake 3 server quake3.king-nerd.com and also a traceroute.

    I was wondering about that myself. Thanks for the link.
