Wierd ping bug

[bchris02]

The bug has taken effect faster and faster the longer i've played this game. Now, if as soon as I start the game, it throws my ping to my localhost totally out of sync and will not let me connect.

For instance before I load the game, i get this

It has to be the game because this is the only game i have this problem on. A restart of the computer is required to get it back to normal. Its so frustrating when you pay $50 for a game and its so full of bugs you can't even play it. Please fix it.

Is your network card onboard or a cheap one without nic?

LOL, you think i would post this as a game problem if I wasn't 100% sure it is not my hardware? I've tried changing NICs, routers, CAT5 cabling, antivirus/firewall, all that jazz. The problems starts when I play Titan Quest. Of course, I have to restart the computer after I play Titan Quest to get it back to normal. Any other game works fine and does not cause this problem.
