I'm curious, what network cards do the people having these issues have?


If you have onboard network look on your motherboard for a chip that has some identification (name or picture) that you associate with network cards. Such as Realtek, Netgear, Intel, 3Com, Linksys, GLink, and so on. Look at CompUSA's site for more ideas. Btw the Realtek "symbol"/logo is a crab holding it's claws up in the air.

OMG OMG OMG, I found a thread about this problem!!! It's not only me!!! and it's not my gamepad's fault!!! I have an NForce 2 motherboard, so that network card. I believe I have the most up to date drivers for it. I'll try some of the things here. I am just happy to have something to try.


I bought the game on Sunday for my birthday, and tried space missions and had this happening every time, I had set the whole day aside to play, it frustrated me SOOOOOOOO much. I have a great ping of 70!


Thanks for all the info here guys,

Just wanted to let you guys know, I changed my NIC to 10 Full Duplex, not auto, and I changed it to max out for throughput, not CPU, and I leave DXDIAG open, and everything has worked fine, I now have a new better ship, with kickass items. I have enough xp for a new skill, but no one will train me :-(

I'm glad there is a solution.


BTW it is not the NPCs warping around like drunken bumble bees, it's the player. I was helping a frustrated pilot last night with a tough mission. Everything was going well at first then he started bouncing wildly all over the place. He thought he was flying normal and the NPCs were warping but from my perspective he was the one warping around. I sent him to the tech forums so I hope he fond the fix.

A freind of mine has this problem every other time he launches. It only seems to hit me in nebulas.... for the most part.....

I did name my ARC-170 "Drunken Bumblebee" after it though (... well, that and I'm bad at naming things too....)

I've finally witnessed this yesterday. A tier 4 scyk was showing me where to find the choice pollen and nectar. Since he wasn't shooting at me,I let it go for a bit and it cleared up. I blame my modem. It's been having peer-problems with my cable company lately.

I get screenlock and skipping like this when those damned lightning strikes hit in the nebulas. There are some areas of space I simply cannot go because the game will literally freeze me in time for the duration of the lightning strike while in combat.

Nebula lightning strikes are freezing/lagging me as well, as soon as I point my nose away from them, lag is gone, follow someone back into them, and lag returns.

Yup, same thing here. I wish they'd just take all of that crap out of the game, none of that should be anywhere near a planet anyway.... and ironicly, deep space, which is where you'd find all that stuff, is nice and pretty and empty....
