Running an MTR

Overview

If you're experiencing lag, rubberbanding, or random disconnects, it may be caused by issues between your computer and the server, not the server itself.

To help us diagnose this, we recommend running a tool called mtr (My Traceroute). It shows the path your internet traffic takes and reveals where problems like packet loss or latency spikes are happening.

Guide for Linux/macOS

1. Install mtr (if not already installed):

sudo apt install mtr  # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo pacman -S mtr    # Arch
brew install mtr      # macOS with Homebrew

2. Run the test

mtr -rwzbc100 play.landfall.world > mtr_report.txt

• -r: Report mode
• -w: Wide format
• -z: Show AS numbers (optional but useful)
• -b: Show both IP and hostname
• -c100: Send 100 pings

⚠️ macOS Note: If mtr fails to run, try running it with sudo, or grant Terminal full disk and network access via System Settings > Privacy & Security.

3. Send the mtr_report.txt
   • Once the command finishes execution, send us the output. You can upload the mtr_report.txt file directly to your Discord ticket.

Guide for Windows (WinMTR)
