I’m not going to bother writing up a report you already know about and have repeatedly closed without an acknowledgement or resolution. At least I haven’t seen any fixes or patches for it.
But whatever is causing it, it is NOT my connection. We are still connected to the internet regardless of what the server thinks.
This notification is pure horse dung because of the fact that I’m typing this message right now.
We’re going along our merry way and while we’re running, we get disconnected. Sometimes me, sometimes my fiance’, sometimes both of us at the same time, sometimes not.
But even though we still have active internet connections (or the icon about the internet would pop up in our task bars letting us know we lost it)… The server seems to think we lost our internet connection. We have in fact not lost our internet connections.
Somewhere in your network web, you have a broken (or malfunctioning) web link somewhere. It’s caused my fiance’ to lose connection over 17 times just today when she was in fact still connected. I’ve got that same disconnection message about half as much. But still, even once is too many times. More than that is just plain infuriating especially when the server loses track of where the character is (this has happened before) as if you’re still online and in the game. But the server just can’t keep up with you.
Off you go to somewhere toward the horizon. We see each other aimlessly continuing onward and hell bent for the horizon before the server finally catches up and realizes something has stopped talking to it in letting it know “HEY, THIS IS WHERE I AM NOW”.
Something missed the position polling.
We often find ourselves in places that don’t present the most pleasant situations to be in and often end up being killed because of this really stupid glitch. Believe me, we are not ones who tend to be suicidal, blindly running straight lines across the map and damn whoever gets in our way.
Then out of the blue, the server suddenly gets the memo. “”“”(I’d better let you know that I think you lost your internet connection. Meanwhile, I’ll try to figure out where you should have been and put you where I think you should be when you calm down and get back. Oh damn… I’m sorry, I didn’t know where you were!) Oh damn, such bad luck. I put you right under Vinerot because this is where I think you would have ended up if you kept going in a straight line as I think you would. Too bad, but hey, that’s Conan Exiles, right? Or was it Siptah?“”“”. Oh damn sometimes I don’t remember.“”“”" says the server. (You think that’s funny, right? WRONG). There is no humor in being crucified at the server’s whims because it lost a connect telling it where WE ARE.
But that’s the thing though. We didn’t lose our connections. The server lost it … somewhere.
That’s why I’m dumping this crap into your laps.
