Re: Packet Loss ?!?

Hmm..well I've seen packetloss in games occur, done a tracert and found exactly the same result. One or two routers dropping packets hence the asterisk, either due to overload or damage. Online games require a much more timely response than standard http traffic, if I had that kind of route on any game it would be spiking and probably unplayable even tho' my ping times would appear normal.
