I am not sure if this can be altered on already running game, and maybe this is known for some of you, and maybe it is not to others. I know Caledorn was speaking with this guy from the German civ site, who was talking about this problem and possible solutions here: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/m...es.533346/ Those German guys do have fix for the long packets with names and I think they integrated it in to their pb mod. Anyone with the competency to understand and eventually implement what is their fix can take a look and eventually speak Ramkhamhaeng.
I on my side will try to log in and shorten my name.

Well, a little googling and I found t his set of directions for Netgear routers. I imagine that knowing this is called a 'MTU size' might help find the setting if he's got a different brand of router.

I kicked Aretas from the game using the pitboss server interface, saving 18 characters on the log in screen.
Gavagai, can you try again and give us an update? If needed we can have people shorten names, although I don't think KSP sounds nearly as nice as Kerbal Space Program. 
In any case this game needs to get moving again soon, whether that's by resolving the tech issue or getting a sub. I'm guessing at this point we haven't had any lurkers interested in subbing -- what other options can we discuss if no technical solution gets us moving?

There was at some point a plan that OT would replace Gav after possible elimination. Could OT just sub Gav for a while (if both of them are still ok with this, of course) and play two civs for few turns?
I know that someone playing two civs at the same time is not the ideal option but I would like to get this game going again.

I've gotten through a rough period at work, if you need me to euthanize a civ I can do that now. I have time to log in, move a few units, manage a city or two. I don't have time to play a turn as a temp sub, but I can euthanize a civ as a spoiled lurker.

My MTU size is 1492, only 8 points short from maximum. The router does not allow me to change it but I doubt that it is the problem. Last year I played PB27 using the same router with the same settings without any issues.

The problem persists and I doubt that the problem is with the router (see above).

That seems like it would work.
