Can't connect, any problems?

[Laowai]

Hey all

Sorry to keep this going but im pretty lost.

Done a reinstall, rebooted, de-activated mod and re-activated. I can connect to the Berlin server, get to the load out screen in Manhattan though when i try to launch it disconnects. I can't connect to discovery at all - beyond the character loading screen after you select the server and hit connect. Right now the ping is between 400- 700 and that is the highest ping i have ever seen ever period - but even then, i have connected before at 650 ping with no problem. In the last 24 hours it has not dropped below 400, though i have connected and played plenty of times before at pings of 450 - 480.

I dont have a router, i direct connect to broadband through the wall. I have changed no settings on my computer - have not had this problem at all before the last 24 hours. If its temporary - it's taking a long time to resolve and i am at a complete loss as to what to do about it.

Help!!!!??? admins? boffins???? - has something actually changed with the server? is it blocking people with high ping? has anything else changed?

basically I'm out of the game until this problem goes away.
