Disconnecting from server due to packet loss WORLD OF TANKS

BroccaBrad
Tuning in

After a year or so I decided to go back to WORLD OF TANKS. Having played it for many years i havn't had any issue until recently.  After playing the game for around 10 minutes  when it;s time to go back to the main screen every single time I get a disconnected message.  Others have had the same issue on here and it's been resolved. Was wondering if I could get this resolved too?   After speaking to the support team for the game it was determined that I was getting a drop of signal "or packet loss" to a few virgin media servers. I'm currently on the Superhub2 and have been for years now.

Only been doing that thinkbroadband test for 10 minutes and it's constantly at Red

I'd like to add after looking at others with the same problem it seems that the SH2 could be the problem? Is it possible for a forum mod to pm me so we can arrange another HUB sent out as this is many years old, thanks!

You need to set the SH2 to allow pings to the SH2.  Allow ICMP/Ping is the setting from memory.

The SH2 is still being used by some customers, but should be replaced by VM as it cannot take advantage of the latest VM infrastructure.  

If you wait here a day or two a VM Mod should pick this up and hopefully get your SH2 replaced.

Hey @BroccaBrad,

Welcome back to the community and thanks for taking the time to post your issue on the forums.

I'm sorry to hear of the issues that you're having, I have looked into your account and can see that there is an issue with your hub and it would need to be replaced via a technician visit.

I can arrange the appointment from here but would need to confirm a few details via a private message, that I will drop over in a moment.
Please look out for the private message and we can get started.
Regards,
Steven_L

Thanks for confirming your details @BroccaBrad.

Thank you bud, i'll update if the issue is resolved with the new router. Thanks again Steven!

An update.  The technician came within 24 hours of arranging an appointment. It turns out that upgrading the hub from the SH2 to a SH3 as solved the issue. Thank you for the help!
