Don't   ... i may go back and play 16/24 and then you will never be admin  

ok, deal.

But watch out, if I do not see you online so often, then I'll apply for admin rights and then you'll be banned.

binary i will kick you from the squad if you go afk each 10m to deal with ppls and warn them. admin is not a fun job if you want to focus on the game  

lol

then I kick you for the abusive kick of an abusive admin. no fear, sometimes at night (cet) it would be helpful to have an admin there but in general that would be too much for me. I want to play, not take care for order ...

that was actually a joke. I also feel like "part of the whole".
and the VG in the tag would mean that I start again at zero points. I can not do that as long as I have not overtaken ranger ;p

i think its normal...but they will kick oder ban if you are not a member and using this tag...

I noticed that a few days ago when a relatively unknown user had taken a "=-VG-=" tag. double warned and kicked him ....

Generating the navmesh is nothing more then having your computer chew on the map for a couple of days and then hope you have no issues in the mesh and that it stays below 700.000 triangles.

what exactly happens there? Does that mean you need cpu-power?
if it helps I can "borrow" 16 cores, 32 threats, 4ghz ^ ^
... unless we are rendering ...

I know that too well ^^ ... Since I process several TB of data in the month I have a lot to do with hard drives, and unfortunately I've already killed many.
the most important thing about dealing with defective / deleted / formatted hard disks is always: switch off the computer immediately and do not shut down. The best way is remove the hard drive and think carefully what to do next. and in no case make anything that triggers a write operation. if there is no harwaredefct you can restore the data in 95% of the cases.

except many raid systems. curse and blessing at the same time.^^

@Risiko94: that was a joke ... I hope that xena did not understand that wrong. I think it's great job what he coded, just that means that we will play less muttrah.

https://www.engadget.com/2017/07/12/us-government-removes-kaspersky-approved-vendors-cybersecurity/

kaspersky is so good that the american government had used it. as the software also recognizes and classifies there goverments trojans as such, it is currently being discredited by the american government. kaspersky does everything to be transparent and open and has even moved their data center from russia to switzerland, but still they are attacked with "russian potential enemy". all bullshit.

btw... iphones come from china, samsung from vietnam ...

Ranger noted that when he uses my VPN he doesn’t get booted out. So I guess that’s a fix for now (until nov 2019 xD) 

just for understanding: if it goes on the vpn it can only be the provider, or did i miss something?

Yes he did. we were both online. and apparently there were no big changes to the ping.

more than 200 km from Kassel in Vogtlandkreis. They have another datacenter in Nürnberg, but still that's quite a distance from Kassel. 

Kavelenko is right. I saw it at his speed test. the vogtland is really far away from kassel and from me ^ ^ but these speed tests are always pretty inaccurate with locations

Thank you so much for your help @0100011000101!  I know ranger must be feeling pretty helpless and alone with this issue

no problem;) I'm not an IT professional but in my job I have a lot to do with such things ... I see it just like you, it is frustrating when you have to spend hours dealing with something and you have no clues and does not really know what to looking for.
and i have many people around me who are able to handle surfaces but do not know what happens under the surface. 

but thank you for the flowers. (Is there such a saying in English? ^^)

Please do not re-post "shot in the dark" suggestions

@WarGhost

That's why I attacked your text that way. it might have been a little aggressive, but I did not want to attack you with that. we have spent quite a lot of time with the problem of ranger and your solutions would have probably made more problems than fix it.
antivirus software is often responsible for the fact that something is not working. that it tells you to switch off upnp is a general safety tip. in rangers case it would even make more sense to turn upnp on to see if pr works better. but it will not be up to that ...

i consider that avast is made by pro persons and i'm supose to follow what they say cz they know much better than me right ?

yes and no.

These are professionals who know what they are doing. But these are general solutions for thousands of users. But here we have a special case and there are general solutions rather harmful. avast knows neither ranger nor his setup.
if you have no idea, such complete solutions are often of advantage. but if something does not work then you need another professional who will help you...

semler is right. there is always more than one way in IT and often what is right for one, is wrong for the other.

i mean the way we wire things, kind or rooter we use and so.

how are you wire things? we use cat.5 to cat.7 cable, fiber or coaxial cable ... and I do not think your router are different than ours. 

but I will like to learn ...

so that the whole thing does not become tooftopic:
@ranger_12

What kind of (antivirus) software do you run in the background? a suite?

do you have the possibility to try another router? but for this you need your access data ... it could not only be due to the configuration but maybe just a hardware defect (heat, dry capacitors, etc ...)

when you are getting disconnected from the game check if you had any loss in the console. you can also check it by pressing Control+C and it should tell you like ... packages lost. 

2 hours ago, WarGhost said:

1 - Install avast antivirus (free version) and make it up to date.

2 - run full scan and eventualy delete infected files (or push them into quarantine till you find out how to clean them if they are still needed).

Rangers did a pingtest yesterday and there were no problems. ping has never lost packs or had timeouts.
So everything is ok until the router. either the router has problems with the internet connection or the provider itself. of course it could have a virus but this would not be responsible for the crashes.

3 - do hard reset your rooter and set up your internet connexion.

that, or open the ports could help.

2 hours ago, WarGhost said:

4 - set your ADSL mode to ADSL2+ (dont let it stay on AUTO).

5 - disable UDP mode on rooter (it's a possible breach and not needed for the game).

only if he uses adsl...

I can not imagine that UDP is responsible for that.

2 hours ago, WarGhost said:

6 - run network scan in avast and follow the recomandations (all of them even change wifi and rooter admin passwords if necessary).

7 - set your antivirus updates time from auto to a certain time that you are not playing the game (maybe at computer startup time).

8 - check if someone at home is watching videos or doing massive updates at the time you lose connexion with the server (maybe you phone and you dont know it).

9 - set windows update to manual (something like: let me know but do not download) or just disable it if you are ok with it (i dont use windows update at all).

10 - check your phone line if there is some crapy sound in it, if so, call service to fix the line. You may also check rooter wires conectors if they are crapy or so and may buy new ones. Try to use your modem without a filter and put the line wire directly into the modem, sometimes filter is the problem.

that would have been seen on the ping.

11 - download latest driver for your network interface (wifi or wired).

can not hurt, but that would have been seen on the ping too.

But for the best ranger just try the VPN I send you on PM its once of the best VPN providers and i use it when i am on hollidayz to get fast interwerbs

that's a really cool idea ^^

And still your ping is that high. xD

I have a ping between 10 and 50 with dsl and mobile 38-80 ... I do not think its high ^ ^ only if I do other things at the same time with the mobile it goes up ...

did not know that the server is in Kassel. that is 150 km away from me ^^

That sounds like it's a bad internet connection.

the only thing that could possibly help would be another router. If you can borrow one somewhere and have your access data I would give it a try. The port shares of kavelenko could also be tried but if it ran before, I do not think thats the problem. your provider will probably be the reason or bad and/or congested internet lines.

4/5 times when i lose connection to VG server i refresh the list of servers i see all servers except VG for like 5 --> 8 secs ... then it appears again.

I have it too. I assume that pr just needs some time to realize that you have no connection to the server anymore and therefore it is not displayed. I think that has nothing to do with your problem.

Try this to be shure that not the way to your router...

run "CMD". ( search for "CMD" in the prompt. )

Type "ping -t yourgateway" (you find your gateway, if you go to your networkapdater at details. should be someting like 192.168.01 or 192.168.1.1, 192.168.2.1...)

leave the window in the background and play pr. the next time you get connection problems go back to the cmd and press ctrl + c to stop ping. see if you get at this time "connection timeouts".

if you get lost packages or timeouts then it is up to your computer or router. if everything goes well it's up to your isp or you have dns-problems.

you can change your dns to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4  or 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 to test it.

O boy 24 hr muttrah here we come. 

something went wrong. Ramiel is running now...

i do not want to hurt your feelings;) i3 8300 look quite good. I've just looked at cpus and currently amd is apparently even more expensive.
For a real gaming pc of 2019, I do not know if the 8300 is enough. I also do not know what you want to play ... so it will be enough for simcity or PR, for battlefield 5-12 it is probably too weak.
  here are a few alternatives that do not cost much more but have more power, but also no high-end pcs:

http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i3-8350K-vs-Intel-Core-i3-8300/3935vsm484077

http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-7640X-vs-Intel-Core-i3-8300/m310543vsm484077

look at the games that interest you according to the hardware requirements, then you get an idea what you need.

and I would also rather take a strong i3 or i5 than a average i7. they are not necessarily faster in everything ...

2 hours ago, ranger_12 said:

and looking forward for 2019 games

If you want to make high-end gaming, an i3 might be too weak. but for pr, multimedia and not necessarily recent games it should definitely be enough.
but it has a 4k graphics onboard. if you really want to buy a nvidia, maybe an AMD without graphics card would make more sense because it is just cheaper or you may get more kernels.

to the video card: I personally would rather a 1050 TI (!) than a 1060 but there are so many differences that you have to look at the data sheets and benchmarks.

8GB memory are minimum if you want to make gaming. then you buy in any case brand memory in which you can still upgrade to 16gb afterwards.

ssd: if you want win7 dont take kingston-ssds... kingston dont support win7 anymore. with samsung you dont have problems in this direction.

... and xenalight is right. not just buy but you have to check exactly if everything fits together. jersens had no fun with it ..

could you upload the map as early as possible?
In the worst case, I only have internet over the phone. works well while playing but the downloads last forever. if you are afraid we could look at the maps before, you can take a password-protected archive ... I'm only interested in the download itself, so I'm not getting too late;)

speechless.

it was a pleasure to play with you, mr H8CrazyVet67. You leave a big gap.
