Gamma 2 download complete - Just hanging at the wireframe sidewinder

Did a patch just get pushed or is a fresh download a side-effect of me putting an old NVidia 480GTX into my machine to see if that improved the situation?

this was a watercooled card so I am using the oldskool cooling technique of "wafting it with a book"

Ok some more stuff that does not work.....

Disabling port re-direction on the router.
Disabling Dynamic DNS integration on the router
Moving the client into the router "dmz"
Installing a cheap Nvidia card I had hanging about and trying to use that.

knocking on 12 hours and one patch now. Does anyone have the same symptom? it's listed as a "do not report this" bug on the support page so I guess its not just me.

Very, very frustrating.

netlog:
>JoinSession:Server (unspecified): 0x000004d4f9bbd788: my.public.ip.addr:5100 x 10 Name Unknown

the problem is the 'name unknown' lines in the affected people's netlogs.

I've tried to force setting the local client name via this in appconfig.xml:
<Network
Port="5100"
upnpenabled="1"
LogFile="netLog"
DatestampLog="1"
Name="xxxx"
>
<Self name="xxxx" ip="my.public.ip.addr" port="5100" />
</Network>


but these settings aren't forcing the name. netlog still shows name unknown.

Local LAN was also being set to one of my vmware NICs which i disabled and now it sets it on the right NIC. But problem with name unknown still remains. even added an entry into my hosts file for my public IP with a hostname in case it tried DNS.


All previous working netlogs from pre 2.0 show the name being detected and used to login to server correctly. this is the root of the problem here.

Any ideas on how to force client-side name?
