Hi

I've been trying to switch to linux and since I read that wine had gotten to the point of working out of the box on arch, i went ahead and gave it a try. Everything does seem to work (CQ dont count). The only override i'm using is deactivating DX11. However i only seem to be able to stay conected for about 10-20 minutes before i get outsdanding calls to the server and my client becomes unresponsive, i've checked and the issue does not occur on my windows install, which makes me believe its not my internet conection who is at fault. I'm running Arch 64 bits 3.16.5-1-ck , wine 1.7.28-1 and iptables. I've ran the log server and winedebug but i'm not sure what to look for. Any sugestions?

Thanks in advance

Wired or wireless?

Anything strange in dmesg?

  • First you dont need to disable DX11 or anything.
  • Second, i doubt it's wine. When it starts disconnecting, check the network connection with traceroute or ping to find out if only the EVE server that times out or not.

    • Also what previously said, anything in dmesg and is it wired or wireless?

    Another issue might be memory.

    Check how your memory use is doing while you're running it. If you download and install 'htop', and run that in another monitor, that might show if you are memory capped in some way.

    If you see memory continually going up, and then crashes after a certain point, might want to free up some resources before running eve again. Wine is just particularly bad about this.

    Sorry for the late reply

    The conection is wired, i keep an eye on my memory usage at the bottom bar on i3 and it never gets past 30%. I did notice i get a lot of blocking calls on the network monitor do you think that could be related to the problem? Dmesg doesnt have anything weird, but it does complain about my system not being configured to drive a vga console on the primary vga device but i think that has nothing to do wiht it, right?

    ps: this is the second time i've loged and its been stable for at least 40 min, maybe i just choose a bad week to switch to linux and my conection to the the eve server in london is bad because of something in the route? i did not have any other internet related issues and what buged me the most is that the only time i'd dc in windows was when the entire conection went down for some reason or another.

    Thanks for the help

    Just a bad week to stop sniffing glue!

    You can take a look at your TCP timeouts, which generally are more aggressive on Linux to prevent DDOSing. You can increase those in a desktop environment, though I'd prefer a timeout than a long hold. A timeout is 'oh crap no reps, warp off' versus 'oh crap no reps let's see if it recovers aaaaaaand warp off oops I'm dead.'

    Yep, after three days of dc's every 10-20,my conection seems to be back to normal, mtr to the eve server is just fine now. Bad coincidence i guess, I'm marking this one as solved. Thanks again
