Connection / Ping Problem ...

it might be a regional problem with a hub between you and the server... dunno

I actually have the same issue, it's a fresh install of CF and all, and no antivirus to check and mess with the signal, but maybe some permission issues ? Idk I will try look into it.

Pings to any place have no loss, no fluct, but when in game I have Fluct around 12 but loss always 10%. And ping 170 instead of 50 or so.

With a loss that high I get very unusual effects, like things shooting at me that I don't see or are at a tradelane distance away from me (a player), or such. I cannot shoot something that is at 10km away on my screen that is killing me

First time I saw it was when your EM char got banned. But that was also the first time I was on the server these few months

It's a constant issue, was never better. Even if it's 2% loss, it's unacceptable for how the game works, I can get my account corrupted and/or banned like this lol It could probably be related with your EM char autoban.

But nobody I asked online had any Loss, so I'm assuming it's something related with CF permissions on my PC or filters or something.

sometime this happened to me. i do the same with Ori. nothing change then. will back normal in few day.
As Micheal said. i got some banned account when this happened. Hope OP check to avoid banned in this case

Your pic link is broken. Anyway your ISP doesn't handle that stuff I think so I got no idea how to change it except proxies which would lag it even more... maybe. lol Better a higher ping than even up to 20% data loss.

the bottleneck seems to a hub in amsterdam

Hmm, for me it seems to be working fine now... it started using different hubs or paths I guess.
0% loss and 1ms fluct, now this sure looks better xD Good xmas gift from the heavens

And you cant do anything about it, connections are established between different hubs across the world, based on cost and efficiency. We as well as you dont have any influence on this.

but ping went massively up already at "xe-0-0-1.core-ams14.as6724.net" which is a hub in amsterdam

Just saw this but Op and Hour are both right. Only way to "possibly" by pass all the different points would be to pay through the nose for a dedicated line btwn you and the server. Major bucks!! And you still would have to rely on the providers at each point of interface to ensure that the best route is being provided with 24 hour monitoring to ensure connectivity and no packet loss problems. Again, major costs and only done by large commercial concerns and governments. (Worked in that field for many years.)

Having said that, if you have the ability to upgrade what your ISP is providing without a lot of cost, you can come by better path conditions that way. Something to research.

I live near rotterdam, let me check
.................
ok my ping is normal, same as always. ok maybe my route doesn't go through amsterdam
