Halo Drop Outs
« on: February 21, 2004, 05:35:00 PM »
A friend and I were playing HALO under Kai 6 and were not having any problems as long as the game type was set as Slayer.  If we tried to choose any other mode of game. ie.. King of the Hill, Capture the Flag, Race, etc...   The game would start and as soon as we started to move in any direction there would be a sudden lag in the performance and it would come up that one of us had quit the game.   I would normally think PING times but we were both steady at a MAX of 39.  Most of the time it was less.   If we went back and changed the game type to slayer it would work fine. Did not matter what map we had selected either.

Anyone have any ideas or is this a known problem. I tried searching for anything to do with HALO and only saw a couple of topics.

i dont play halo.

is that good?

seriously tho, i cant see a reason for your problem...i assume you have no mods to halo?

we would need more details tho, like how many are playing, what your uploads/downloads are , etc etc.

No mods added to halo.  Speeds are excellent.  Both of us are pinging in the low 30's on aveerage. Occasionally there is a spike to high 30's but that's about it.  Number of people would be just myself and one other person.  It is strange..  Any selection for game type other than Slayer on any map results in the connection being terminated and we dump back to the choose or create a session screen.

I can't even get my Halo working on Kai. I can go from playing an rs3 match, close that game and go to the Halo room. Start the system link and I see nothing. The go back to rs3, and I see all of the games. I just figured that was a sign to play rs3 more. My upload is anywhere from 512-730 depending on the weather and the location of the test. Download is 3megs.

A friend of mine was having this problem playing syslink through Kai with me.  I think it was a problem with his router configuration.  His PC was in the DMZ to allow the traffic, but his router was getting an internal (192.168.xxx.xxx) IP address from his DSL modem.  He used the automatic setup method on his router and that's what it does.  I changed the router config so that it actually used the DSL modem to "dialin" to the ISP (get a Dynamic IP) using my friend's username and password from the ISP.  

At any rate, it may be this "kind" of thing.  If you're using a router, try this (if not, just think about it to see if any of it makes you think of something else to try).  Try putting your PC in the DMZ.  If that works, try forwarding ports 34518 and 34519 both on UDP and point them to the IP address of the computer running XLink.  All of this is done in your router config pages.
