Connection and Client Problem

[Araeto]

Opening day of the server I logged in and played all night without having any trouble. By ping would fluctuate between 150 and 250 ms. This morning I was playing and ping was still same but around 12:45:00 (-6 Central) the game started doing occasional 2 second lags freeses and gameplay would continue. But it's gotten worse to the point where it'll lag for 10 seconds or not even reconnect me at all. I watched the ping today and it's staying around 250 and when it spiked goes to 600, 700, and last one was 1600 and I decided to go here. My other problem is the game randomly crashing. I would be on the game, flash black screen for a second, then to desktop without my windows even saying it seen an error. My guess would be the lag is causing it. I haven't made any changes to my computer since yesterday. I'm the only one on my network. Wasn't running anything different either.

Yeah I tyurned it on and off and tried both ways. But I restarted and waited a few hours... it's running much better now. If it happens again I'll repost
(Thinkin it may have just been an ISP problem)
(Also thinkin crashes were from lag)
