since 2 or 3 weeks, game freezes very often in combat 
it seems to be a latency problem, but im not realy shure: this afternoon in a 2-players-game i had freeze also, but not that horrible like at primetime.
my stats:
k7 700mhz
265 mb ram 133
sblive player
isdn usb2a modem
asus v6800 ddr sdram vs 5.33 (8/2000)
i tried the detonator 6.5 - no improvement
detonator 12.41 and 12.5 cause grafik errors,
so i returned to the asus 5.33 drivers
any ideas ?

i've freezes too, couldn't play the whole weekend and was able to enter pluto today again after this horrible weekend.
1st game i had a freeze and a total system crash ..
2nd game i had a freeze for 10-20 secs and was dropped out of the game after this freeze.
i had no problems of this kind for many weeks, and i've nothing changed to my system.

most of the time there's no ping shown of the ds.bluebyte server.
pluto has a ping <250 most of the time.
but when 10 or more ppl are playing on pluto, it takes me nearly 5 minutes to connect

since the weekend is over and so the XXL day's i have back the normal connection speed although in the BBGC the lag indicator always shows '?' on both server.
So the the only thing i hope now is that the diconnects vanish not in space but from space ( *g) and i will be very happy.

finaly we found it out :
its realy a provider caused lag.
we (GER_DerAcid/frankfurt/arcor, GER_Hero/berlin/telecom, and me/munich/telecom) tracert the routes yesterday, with this result:
the paths from munich and berlin where nearly the same, same bad ping, same servers in US. arcor call by call uses diferent servers with pretty good pings.
after that i changed from telecom to arcor and now all works fine 
no more lags or freezes, thx to bionicman as target
too bad, my flatrate is worthless now. even surfing works better with arcor.
telecom hotline says this will be fixed soon
*g*
the guys playin on battlenet europe got exactly the same probs since 6 months !!!!
telecom routes are always overcrowded, man, how they suck !

I even called T-Online, and they told me that there is a server problem in the USA present. The technicians operate on it. They could not call a date for the completion.

Hi
I have no longer that freezes, ok from time to time some minor lags but at all it works very good at the moment. Since 2 days i had no diconnects and i played a long time. I use the nvidia 10.80 drivers and have no problems with them.

now i got it fixed:
the freezes where caused by the USB modem i used. i installed an avm fritzcard and game runs fine now !!
seems like the teledat usb/2 modem isnt the right thing for gaming...
