Tried Linux and ran Play Music Manager and Steam. Both worked fine.
So it's definitely limited to my PC (on Windows). Also reset router settings and the problem is still there.

I really don't see what could be causing it...

There is your problem you said it yourself, sure fire fix is backup needed documents/files and do a fresh install of windows. Could be settings/software/virus causing the issue fresh install would fix it 100% without wasting any more time trying any little thing.

You could try uninstalling each client, deleting the relevant firewall rule and then re-installing each client (re-allowing and re-creating each firewall rule).

What is your idle network usage like?

Also, are there any other devices on the network that may be using up bandwidth? (Smartphones, tablets, other laptops, neighbours, etc)

The only other idea I have is the DNS used. Try switching to googles DNS instead of your ISP DNS.

Nah, no use of bandwidth.
I'll have a look at Google's DNS, but I'd rather not change any protocol settings.

Or alternatively, if he already changed the DNS settings to a custom DNS, try setting it to automatic.

Already set to automatic.

The problem is, that it's a family computer.
I plan on getting a new one for Christmas, so I suppose I'll have to live with the problem 'till then.

Thanks for all the help guys.

For something like Minecraft, do you still experience the problem when connecting to the IP address of a server? My server's not running right now, but my domain is sicklycraft.com , and the IP that translates to is 98.109.190.190. I imagine you'd have problems connecting to a server under a domain name (like sicklycraft.com), but what happens if you were to try connecting to its IP address?

Again, my server isn't running right now, so you won't be able to connect to it period.

I'm not sure.
The thing is, I can't even connect to the Minecraft servers to download update files or anything. It just won't work.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
