So I've been having an issue with the game crashing and giving me a network time out message when playing on a friends server. There are 5 of us that play on this server and I am the only one having the issue. At first I thought it was an internet issue. So I did a speed test and my internet is running fine. After that I thought to myself that maybe the graphics are just turned up to high so I turned them all the way down and that didn't fix the issue. I tried to clean up my pc thinking it was a space issue and still no luck. After that I uninstalled the game and removed any files leftover for 7DTD and reinstalled the game and that still did not fix the issue. I also made sure it was not an antivirus issue. Some help would be very much appreciated.
Game Crashes And Receiving Message Network Time Out.

Speedtest doesn’t show all internet problems. Open the command prompt and type:
tracert xx.xxx.xx.xx
The x’s is the ip of the server. The result lists all the hops to the server and any packet loss. The more hops listed, the more likely you are to have problems. If it’s clean then your internet is okay. Be sure to run this right after crashing because packet loss can be intermittent.

I think you misunderstood......running tracert can detect if your connection to the server is faulty, it has nothing to do with the server whatsoever. If your connection to the server is dropping packets, your game will be affected, not any other players.
EDIT: maybe posting your log file using pastebin will give us more answers in case it isn't the internet connection

Hmmm.....works perfectly for me and is a common windows command. Make sure you are spelling it correctly. I just tried it again. If you just type tracert without an ip address it gives you options to run with the command. Be sure you are putting a space between tracert and the ip of the server.
