Re: QL Random Connection Interruptions

Well, the firmware is up to date, and there shouldn't be any overheating as it's well ventilated and has been well used. I haven't got another router to check but I'll try my brothers laptop on QL and see if the same problem occurs. I'll also take my PC downstairs and check it with the modem plugged...

Re: QL Random Connection Interruptions

Again, apologies. Was just playing BF2 and the usual happened after some time of playing, maybe an hour or two, where the internet 'froze up', the standard 'There is an issue with your connection' message popped up on screen in-game. Whilst it was froze I checked the connection to the wireless on my...

Re: QL Random Connection Interruptions

Yeah my brother has his laptop on and the PC downstairs uses the same connection to, however I've never really had an issue with this until now. Edit: Despite the random timings of the spike/s in the ping test, on QL (and BF 2 too I think) I'm getting one massive spike around the same time, around 3...

Re: QL Random Connection Interruptions

Apologies for double post but this is important. Can you help me out with these screenshots? First two are just images of the resource monitor as a spike occurs. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg132/dab_/1-1.png http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg132/dab_/2-1.png Now this image is just as I've...

Re: QL Random Connection Interruptions

Yep, done idle. Got the Linksys WRT54GS router and have had it for quite some time. Had an old Belkin wireless card on my old PC which worked perfectly. Recently I built a new PC entirely with a new wireless card: TL-WN851N (from TP-Link), however when I first had the machine running the internet wa...

Re: QL Random Connection Interruptions

EDIT: Linksys WRT54GS is the router, with the newest firmware. i'm guessing you have all drivers updated ? especially DX and vid drivers ? while at it check for a new version of punkbuster. PS got Crysis 2 and the bitch flies Done, done.. and done! No luck. Are you running wireless? What kind of ro...

QL Random Connection Interruptions

Title says it all really. Been playing for a while and recently it's started happening, usually 10 or so minutes into the game, the 'connection will interrupt' every 30 or so seconds for 5ish minutes before returning to normal. I did change a few settings to lower my ping so that may be the issue? I...

FOV

Just wondering what the benefits are of having a stupidly high FOV? I've upped it from 110ish to 130 and whilst it looks disgusting is it actually better? Or is it down to personal preference?

Windows Build

Every time I install the Quake Live plugin my Windows has a bit of a fit.

After the installation is complete in the bottom right hand corner of my desktop I get 3 lines of text.

Windows 7
Build 7600
This copy of Windows is not genuine

What's going on, and what do I do?

Re: Activity

Similar? Q:Live is completely different. One minute i'm getting blown up randomly by Prox Mines which have been scattered everywhere , then I'm picking up 'Guard' which does fuck all, THEN i'm rolling into fuckers covered in a pink orb which I can't hurt - all before I get blown off a map i've never...

Re: Activity

I've played Quake Live and I don't like it in all honesty, the maps, extra weapons and the like aren't to my liking.

I also like the old-feel to the Q3:Arena game itself.

Hey guys, I've just made up my mind to go back to playing Q3:Arena as I used to love the ass of it, and some frag movies have got me raring to go. However, after looking at the odd topic on here I'm serious wondering whether it's worth it. Do people still play this game? I know a few years back OSP ...
