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?!?

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. |

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.
