Servers Timing Out
I have been experiencing fairly consistent server drops and time outs regardless of whether I am playing on Server-1 or Server-2. This has been happening for weeks now. Today however, I have averaged a server drop once every 10 minutes. The reason for this post is to solicit from the community whether other players are experiencing the same issues. my Internet service is outstanding and I am not impacted in any other way.
Cheers!

Re: Servers Timing Out
I am so sorry to hear you too are experiencing server drops. Thank you for sharing. Perhaps if there are enough of us... this will be investigated.Cattko wrote: ↑Fri Apr 04, 2025 1:35 pmIt happens to me a lot. For example, right now.

Re: Servers Timing Out
So far, Euro and Euro approximate responses, correct?
Do you have any timeframes of when it occurs most frequently?

Re: Servers Timing Out
I too live in Germany. I am on my 5th year playing on this server... three of those years living in Germany. I've never had a problem until the server migration.

Re: Servers Timing Out
I typically log into the game everyday around 18:00 (GMT +1) and play for an hour. I typically get booted from the server every 10 - 15 mins.Aspect of Sorrow wrote: ↑Fri Apr 04, 2025 8:48 pm So far, Euro and Euro approximate responses, correct?

On the weekends, I log into the game at random times throughout the day.
If I get booted from the server during a DM event or when there is large number of players at FAI, then the server tells me my player name is already in use and denies me access. As such, I simply switch to the other server... then I get booted right after my character materializes.

Re: Servers Timing Out
Coming from Croatia, I've had exactly one timeout that I can remember in the past several months, which happened to be last night. In any case, never anything nearly as frequent or regular as the OP describes: Usually I'm disconnected by crashes on either the client or the server, not a connection failure between the two.

Re: Servers Timing Out
Yes. My default setting is to use a VPN. However, once I started to experience consistent server drops I stopped using my VPN.Steve wrote: ↑Sat Apr 05, 2025 3:25 amAre you using a VPN?MrSmith wrote: ↑Fri Apr 04, 2025 10:34 am I have been experiencing fairly consistent server drops and time outs regardless of whether I am playing on Server-1 or Server-2.

Re: Servers Timing Out
This actually may be the issue. While I was disconnecting my VPN before logging in... it was set to disallow access to the Internet and was then connecting on its own. I've reset it and spent about 90 minutes playing without VPN with zero issues. That's the longest I have played without issues for a very long time.Steve wrote: ↑Sat Apr 05, 2025 3:25 amAre you using a VPN?MrSmith wrote: ↑Fri Apr 04, 2025 10:34 am I have been experiencing fairly consistent server drops and time outs regardless of whether I am playing on Server-1 or Server-2.
