ive been lagging out of the lobby consistently, this gets annoying when you're in mid conversation waiting for the person you're speaking with to reply when really you've already lagged out. is there any way to increase my refresh rate or prevent these constant lag outs from happening?

Server lagouts would be network traffic related, do you know if there is any other traffic on your home network when this occurs? (if you have more than one computer sharing a DSL/Cable any high bandwidth use by one can effect the network connection of anyone else on the network) Any family members watching Netflix / videos or other streaming (video/audio) or large downloads going on when this happens?


When it does happen, do you have to log off the server and back in? Or does Myth2 crash eventually? How often does it occur?

none of the issues in paragraph 1 are relevant to the situation
i have to change rooms, and change back to the room with people in it (i can also log out/log in, but then it says i'm still logged in for another 30 seconds or so).
M2 doesn't crash eventaully.
Happens as often as I'm in the lobby for more than 2 minutes or alt tab, but doesn't always happen (i'd say 80% of the time tho).
Only started happening since 1.7.1.

any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated

I encountered this issue when coding myth chat, it appears to be internet related, the client does not natively gracefully handle an interruption in internet service. Essentially mnet sends out a heart beat and your client responds, if this doesn't happen due to internet issues then you get dropped. The myth client could be coded to handle this exception transparent to the user and auto reestablish a connection to the server, which is what myth chat does.

gug luck at the bridge.

Can you post your mythlog?

ill post my current myth log and i've had to change rooms about 3-4 times already this morning!

Can you try unchecking "Use Multi-Core" and see if that makes any difference? (Please post back here with the results.)
