Just install bootcamp and play on windows. This will probably save you lot of research and tryhard

My first thought was "bad internet". Then you said, everything else works fine. Then you said "OS X wine & crossover" and I was like "whaaaaat?"

I think, what you COULD in theory do is to have wireshark running and trace your network traffic. But it´s gonne be a lot of work and I am not sure what information this will get you.

Maybe get a native WIndows installation on a notebook running and check, if that encounters the same problem? If not, it´s your machine/setup. If it does, it´s your network.

Fluctuating ping problem

2016-10-12T14:07:48+02:00

95% of the time I'm getting net lags while playing SupCom.
Looks like that:
1) everything is OK, ping to other players around 50-150ms
2) suddenly getting 2000-3000ms pings to ALL player and/or Connection issue window with "Quite" messages
3) suddenly everything is OK again
sometimes it is happening once in 10 minutes, but more often it happens in a loops causing unplayable game =(

At the exact same time I have Discord working just fine, ping to google.com is about 30 ms, typical internet browsing is blazing fast. So its definitely happening only to SupCom traffic.

What I tried? Basically everything from that wiki page (I cant post links):
1) UPnP
2) Port forwarding (with and without UPnP checked)
3) Switched from wi-fi to wired LAN
4) Changed router
5) Woody

Also worth noticing that I'm playing on OS X using wine&Crossover

My thoughts:
1) OS X drops packets somehow. (tried to play in office where we have perfect 5Hz wi-fi with same result)
2) EoC adapter drops packets (using internet connection by "Ethernet over coax" technology)
3) my ISP doesn't like SupCom traffic

Is there a way to get detailed logs to understand problem in details?
Maybe I can emulate SupCom traffic and see what caused problems?

P.S. Using BusyBox linux on router it can be configured to log specific traffic I guess
