Latency keeps freezing?

"

Shendy a écrit :

I occurs randomly. My Firewall and Antivirus are not doing anything with PoE. I am using a wired. I don't run anything third-party on my computer anyway.

I did the WinMTR thing and did everything it said. I also ran it while I was experiencing a 1600 latency freeze and let it run for exactly 1 minute 7 seconds. I saw in the screenshot in that link you posted that the guy had 19 Nr or something...Well I only got 5. Lastly is there anything I should block out in that WinMTR thing before I post it?

Oh and I use AU.login.pathofexile.com in the host field by the way.

When you say you don't run anything third-party on your computer, what exactly do you mean by that?

Almost everything outside of Windows itself is considered "third party" in most cases... it really depends on your point of view. You should completely disable all Antivirus/Firewall/Security types of software, even if you don't think they're doing anything. There are a LOT of documented issues around here with various types of security software where people thought they weren't doing anything only to find out that their issue was a result of their security software (which is not usually configured properly, or is completely useless the majority of the time). Avast is one of the worst, so I hope that isn't one you are using. If so, you need to completely disable it after setting it to its lowest possible setting. Only then can you even have a hope that it isn't interfering (and it still might be).

As for posting the WinMTR results, there really isn't anything you should edit unless there is some particular reason you're paranoid about the results. The first IP is likely something like 192.168.0.1 or 1.1... in which case, that is your internal router IP, and we cannot tell your public IP from that. No need to edit it. As for your second hop, that is your ISP gateway most likely, and again we cannot get your actual IP from it. Only thing it MIGHT contain is your city abbreviation name so we could technically figure out geographically a region you live in. Again, not something that you really have to be overly concerned with, but if you're paranoid about it, just XXX out the city name... please leave the rest of the address and data intact... and make sure when you XXX out the city/region, you only do it within the first few hops. After that, it can make it hard to figure out where your trace is going.

Something else is going on as you should have more than 5 lines in that trace. You're not listing any of the vocus hops, which there should be a few before you get to the server.

If you haven't already, I'd give your modem/router a good reboot, and again reboot the PC after disabling Avast.

If you couldn't already tell, I'm very anti-Avast. I'm of the opinion that antivirus software in general does more harm than it does good unless you cannot control who uses your PC and there is a user of the PC who is not able to have safe browsing habits. In general, antivirus software will only catch things it knows about, and the most dangerous things it likely doesn't know about (zero-day exploits mainly), so it cannot protect them from you. As long as you aren't clicking all the links in anything someone emails to you, and you're not a common user of warez or pirated software, then you likely don't have an issue requiring the usage of an antivirus application. If you like using an antivirus solution, feel free to continue using it, but I think they generally waste power, waste cycles, waste RAM, and certainly get in the way more than they should.

I DO have antivirus software on my PC (ClamAV), but it is only ran "on-demand"... IE: I download something and want to check it for known issues. I run it through an on-demand scanner and that's it. It doesn't run all the time in the background, and it doesn't interfere with my system processes. There are also a lot of other on-demand scanners if you want to get more results from more source (a lot of them are web-based where you simply upload the file and it checks it for you).

Anyway.. enough about the wastes that are persistent AV solutions... There is something going on either with a firewall or something in your connection that isn't behaving and filtering results incorrectly. I'm not really sure at this point without more diagnostics or perhaps a different clean PC on the same network.
