Address it to steam, its not only funcom, play ark, conan, atlas, once human, dst, , helldivers2ā€¦ or any game that use ā€˜ā€˜liveā€™ā€™ services, will be same.

its about that only games who does not always check if user has internet wont kick youā€¦ if game has this feature you will always be kicked when steam updates servers for 1 second evenā€¦

Why must --I-- address this to Steam? It is not --MY-- Funcom Live Authentication Services that is disrupted every single time Steam recycles.

This is a problem with their game delivery platform. I have no seat at the table with Steam. Funcom, however, does (or should).

Which is a very debatable feature.

Though load balancing is a thing too so not having a service interruption to begin with should not be that hard.

It sucks especially for E-N/A PVP servers, 6pm EST being raid start.

Always reminded clan it was Tuesday, never to plan on raiding right then, had IP ready to direct connect and also to state ā€œdo not log out of Conan, just keep trying to reconnect to serverā€.

What was weird is it didnā€™t affect everyone all the time and these were Steam accounts. Sometimes you can connect right away, sometimes it could take upwards of 15-30 mins.

Iā€™ve realized that I cannot stand live services in any way and it has brought grief in many forms. So ya, itā€™s Funcomā€™s fault for deciding on this but like Neo says, this isnā€™t the only game affected.
