Continued disconnects with Chapter 3 Update during fights on PS5

  • PS5 and PS5 digital Ed.
  • Wired VDSL250
  • probably not since I usually don’t use a Server in SP!!!
  • In my case PVE #8007

PS5
wired connection
1GB per second speed
never played Single Player, only official

it is definitely a major issue on Official PVE server #3531, especially in the Mounds of the Dead

Only for your info. Today’s update does not solve the problem.

I got it at sepermeru as well, just trying to run by the sand reaper queen. As soon as she spotted me and aggro’d, I crashed. Twice.

Also crashing after going through some transports again.

The only place I frequent that I’ve had absolutely no issues at all, is the Frost Temple. It’s got good XP for killing the Frost Giants, and I’ve yet to “Lose Connection” once, even while fighting the boss or in the Smith room or anywhere else where you can aggro two or more at once!

Did a run through of the Unnamed City yesterday and one disconnect fighting a one skull dragon. After leaving and going to Sepamaru I got aggroed by the black rhino. 8 disconnects. I get it fighting skulled enemies, and just twice when nothing was going on. It’s got something to do with the performance patch before the new season update. Had no disconnects up until then. The issue has been made worse by the new update.

It appears anywhere people build frequently for the most part. Anything that requires a lot of memory causes crashes in those areas. Apparently boss attacks are taxing, as well as transportory stones. We already knew the stones were (and something NEEDS to be done about them), but it would seem that boss attacks are as well.

It is obvious but Funcom has lost total control over the game!
The condition it is in has even worsend after the last update! Now you not only get disconnected during fights, but you can’t log in again until it is over!
This is almost the tipping point for me bevor seeking legal advice. You want us to pay for the battlepass, but instead of fixing important issues, you just keep making the game worse and almost unplayable!
Do you actually know what you are doing?

Two updates and still the same problem. Maybe some info about how it is going will be fine. Thank you

8 times it disconnected for me. The island on east side of noob river on that island with the rotbranch.

I wasn’t even fighting. I was just trying to get across the island. But it was chasing and trying to attack me.

I got disconnected and then logged back in but only for a second or two before immediately getting disconnected.

After the 5th one I managed to jump into the river. But since my horse was still there I tried to circle back around so I could get my horse back in follow mode.
2 more disconnects trying to get away from rotbranch and to my horse.

I never attacked the rotbranch once. I was always just trying to lure and/or run away.

Now here’s the worst part, as I was running away the rotbranch killed me. And as soon as the death pop up to pick spawn location appeared, I was immediately disconnected for the 8th time.
And when I respawned back at my base I tried to summon my corpse, the ritual completed but my body was not there!
I tried the ritual 4 more times in between restarts to see if I could get the body to appear. It let me do the ritual each time but body never appeared.

I logged in with a secondary character to see if I could see the body. Nope.

The death loot icon showed on the map right where my circle of power or wherever it is called. But no body.

After 30 minutes the log showed everything decayed.

So frustrating! :sob::sob::sob:
I should have just left and not tried to rescue the horse. Eventually the horse returned on its own. But lost everything I was carrying :weary:

I’ve also had the disconnect just with 3 crocodiles at that little exile camp along noob river where there are crocodile spawns.

Edit: I’m on ps5

same here on PS4 during purge or like you said with a lot of npcs my friend and I will disconnect like one to three times very frustrating hope they come out with a huge big fix update soon.

Is there a bunch of bases or really large builds there? I have a good size main base nearby on my server, but it’s in the cove on the other side of the pass of the big island, so I’m far enough away from that rottbranch. I have no issues there as there’s no builds by it currently (last I checked anyway).

this happens to many.PC. there are 4 disconnections in a row at once. AND THIS HAPPENS PRECISELY DURING THE BATTLE WITH THE NPC. when you build something, you just travel around the world. It’s all good. BUT AS SOON AS YOU START HITTING SOMEONE. => YOU ARE DISCONNECTING FROM THE SERVER. DEVELOPERS EITHER DON’T HEAR US. OR THEY DON’T WANT TO HEAR US. . THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE ON THE MAP. IF YOU ATTACKED SOMEONE. THIS PROBLEM!

On the island there is a base along the one coast. I never managed to get to it. But as I recall it wasn’t some monster base.

One island over there is another base. Nothing crazy but spread out but not interconnected if you know what I mean: map room over there, stables up over there, etc.

But when I got disconnected from the 3 crocodiles at noob river, definitely nothing really near there except an old fishing base down the north part of river

Oh and near my base which is fair size. Not monstrous, Nearby in dreggs village I fight a bunch of thralls like 5-6 at a time sometimes and never have been disconnected there

Hmm… ok… it definitely happens in busier areas, but even with small builds nearby I’ve seen it happen. On the hand, it is intermittent and I’ve had it happen anywhere at anytime. Though it’s most frequent around bigger bases.

Ok thanks. That situation above was the worst example for by far (especially with losing body and loot) but I’ve had it happen a few other times in way less stressful times.

When it happens are there always mobs/animals nearby like them approaching to fight plus some kind of base in the area (like say within 25 or 50 foundations or whatever)?

Or could it happen without mobs or base?
I assume one and/or the other has to be contributing.

Perhaps in this chapter 3 version of quickly generating textures, etc of bases and mobs, it stresses out the session and disconnect happens.

Oh and @jmk1999 are you on ps4 or ps5?

I’m on ps5.

From my experience the commonality is always at least 4 or 5 enemies or a boss attack. Though it’s more reliable in conjunction with bases built nearby. I have crashed last night inNew Asagarth at the far end, but there are a lot of bases around it now that I think about it.

PS5 for me too

It definitely seems to me to be more fights with animals or bosses like rotbranch that against normal humans/thralls. I fight at dreggs village all the time as my base is near that by the obelisk and I don’t recall any disconnects.

There’s also a base just SE of that village at the river. And another one further along NE

Maybe because that’s near edge of map there’s less potential for server stress. All just guess work

Hopefully I haven’t just jinxed myself. Those thralls form my main sacrifice pool :smiley:
