- I was having a tough time getting into any game today because when the username
- screen came up and I entered my name, the thing would lock up. I know that
- this is because of the huge loss I was getting (~ 100/200/2000, 76% loss!)
- BUT, I finally got into the hockey server, got switched over to UDP, and played
- for a short while. Then I died, and it took over a minute to get back in, I
- get a whole bunch of messages like
-
- K0->All a, do you read?
- O9->O7 Are you new to the game?
-
- And, While I am getting decent update speed, I cannot react.
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Why can I see the action fine, but not get
- anything through to the server?

- P.S. Apologies to the hockey team I was playing with, I'm not THAT clueless
