to me it happens in alsmost every system.
but the highest rate of red lag seems to be in pennsylvania, conn, coronado, alabama and alberta.
No jompdrives ever used;
no hacks / fixes / anything else ever used;
no firewall;
no antivir thing;
and a little difference: i dont get kicked from the server because when i try to reconnect right after the connection lost message, my accound is still logged in. so its more like losing connection to hte server.
but the strange thing is: the connection must still be there, because of the fact that i can still watch people flying around and chatting and stuff. so only my "data sending thing" might be broken. the recieving thing is still intact.
//edit:
that's what i wronte in another thread. just to specify the problem a bit:
Hi there folks.
This situation:
I have absolutely no problems most of the time. but sometimes, when i enter another system (like the last one: alabama) the red lag symbol ( got it via launchpad) appears and a few seconds later i get kicked.
after this, i can connect again a few minutes later (after my ship dissapeared). then, when i use another char od my accound, i got no problems with it. but as soon as i want to use the char i got kicked with, the problem starts again and i get kicked again.
now if you think "well just get out of that system that causes the crash": after connecting with my char i can't do anything, because the "red lag" starts isntantly. i can't use the chat, i can't dock.
But the strangest thing is: i CAN watch people talking and flying around. so the connection still MUST be there.
i already formated my hdd, installed win7 new (but i had the problem with vista too), did a completely new installation of freelancer and discovery... but the problem still exists and continues making my chars from time to time absolutlely useless...
