Having multiple connect problems. Mostly I get the stop receiving packets warning. Had a few disconnects. Also has some problems connecting to the server.

Make sure you do full scans.

Same here. Not just with PS either. I've noticed packet loss with Call of Duty and BF42.

I, too, have been experiencing packet losses and disconnects. Hope they fix this soon! I'm not payin' them money for a game that has crappy server problems!

Well since myself and others I know are having problems with connections other than planetside servers I would assume that the issues are out of the PS folks hands.

The problem could be any number of backbones or server handlers. Bah.. its probably been interference from an animated santa claus sitting too close to a rack of servers.

Nothing different for me but, your bad pings and stuff are probably caused by the servers becuase they've been crashing a lot.

I had a couple of the stop receiving packets warnings over the weekend. But nothing really bad. Mostly the warning vanished again after short time (up to 1 sec). But I had one game crash on sunday (and a friend of mine had one as well :-(

Been having lots of lag problems in game that I never had before in a zerg, been taking like a good 15 seconds for my DL to turn on after I hit the switch. And with my undieing hate for cloakers this is just not good...
