Packet loss Options

Hi, I got notified today by one of the server admins, that I have a constant packet loss of about 30% for the 64 slot limited archer server. I tried to see the problem from my end but couldn't reproduce it.

Here is what I got:

CODE

I also tried to google for packet loss problems, but basically all I found was not to use wifi, but it's not an option for me.

Any advise?

I couldn't find long enough cable to try chiv without wireless, but I managed to try Chiv on Windows. The lost packets info is updated more often than with Linux, something like once per 2 - 3 minutes. The initial packet loss seems lower as well, though that's hard to compare.

The gameplay experience was quite similar. Windows has a bit better FPS and it fluctuates less that on Linux, but overall it was very comparable. So I think it's just the info that is not updated.

I forgot to ask earlier, but what's the effect of my packet losses (when they are there) to the server and to the other players?
