As for the other post about ports... really? So the game works perfect until the aforementioned time period and on queue starts to lag (the real term of lag not low fps that some people use it for) and it is a port issue? Really?? >_>'''''''''''

LOL yeah that's what I thought.

Also good job on getting the game name to them, the guy would not even take it from me, he may as well have just straight up said to me "I don't even care about your problem". On the other hand I've heard if you renew your contract now they put you on a different exchange and you do not get traffic shaping applied to your broadband, thus fixing the problem. I really don't want to have to go down this route...

¬Edit¬ For those that have had their contract changed? Did it resolve the issue, or are you still waiting for the change to take place?

It did for me as of about 11pm last night. Will double check at peak time tonight, but it seems to have resolved the issue.

How exactly does forwarding ports get past the problem whereas BT filter and limit P2P traffic? It's still P2P traffic regardless of where the ports point to lol. I noticed you posted this at around 6am, this is about the time they turn off the traffic shaping...

It worked for me last night, I posted that on the way to work....

I played all through peak hours last night (UK 6pm to about midnight)

It may not work for you, but you might as well try it, rather than just dismiss it, other people on the old beta forums had the same success as I did with forwarding the ports

OK thanks, i'll try it tonight, unfortunately I'm at work now.
On the other hand, I've just phoned BT and got through to an ACTUAL tech this time and he understood everything that I was telling him and he confirmed that because I'm an Infinity Option 2 customer that there are NO restrictions on my Internet usage whatsoever....

Hey guys. RJH, thank you for that post, i will try that right now. If it doesn't work, thank you for sharing anyway. Is it still bad on the servers? Might not even bother tonight

FIXED IT
I have fixed my BT throttle problem by simply forwarding the ports in the router

please see the following guide for what to do (it's very easy)

This will work if you do it correctly (don't mess up the TCP/UDP, and forward all ports)

Hey man, ive just tried this. Unfortunately it didnt work for me, but thanks anyway. Although i have a Homehub 4 type A. maybe its different to those or something.

Bump for frustration.

Yeah it would be nice if this was sorted soon as it is unplayable at nights and since that is my usual time to play it looks like I will be struggling.

I cant see a fix until way after this week, theres just no Dev responses or anything of the sort. BT will only solve this if SE get in touch with them.
SE only have to take a look in this thread to see whats going on. But nothing. I know it seems like they have bigger fish to fry, but this thread is testament to how widespread this problem is.

[Zombieflamingo]

Yeah and to think we are only the early access people, just wait till everyone else is on. Suppose I will wait till the weekend o get back on it then will give me some time to play Splinter Cell.
