I’ve gotten a lot of “lost connections” recently. I’d just get kicked out and few other players on the server say the samething but the really annoying thing is that at the moment I can’t log into my server because I got kicked out and now there is a bunch of “???” and the game tells me my ping is too high. Also, there is 0/40 on the population counter so did everyone get booted? Is everyone’s ping too high?
I log into other online games and immediately get on and play - it only happens with this game.
You play on overloaded PvE/PvE-C server. You are disconnected because so many monkeys spam foundations wherever they can,mass claim zone arround their base, build mega roads, mega bridges lots of unuseless temples ext. When you arrive in this area (or if you spawn in this area) you have a huge ping burst and the server sends you for a walk. The only solution for you is to report all megabases and all the pests that cause the server instability.
I had the same problem in the past: rotten pings and disconnections all the time. But once animals are removed from the server and everything is back to normal. Ping which went from 200/350 to 60 and no more disconnections.
There might be 12-14 online at a given time, but there are hundreds that play there. Many of which who haven’t been active in years, but login once a week to refresh.
Correct. I was gathering gossamer the other day in the spider caves, and while killing the spider queen, I was disconnected three times in a row. I had no problem logging right back on, and the server was stable at the time.
I did notice that If I pulled her off of her spawn point, I was not disconnected, but If I attacked at her spawn point, I was continually disconnected.
Sounds like you are talking about two separate issues
The ??? and 9999 ping generally happens when the server is down, if you see a server like that, no one is able to get on it.
The “Lost Connection” issue seems to be plaguing the entire game right now. This generally happens during intense combat, but it can happen just from looking at the wrong mob (this Lost Connection issue is also different from the regular freeze that also happens to many). These “Lost Connection” errors are getting to be too much for many people, especially those who play on Official servers that may be a little bit overcrowded. I for one play on an Official that has up to 25 people on at peak times. There was literally never an issue before this update with the “Lost Connection” problem, now the game, and Purges especially, are nearly impossible to get through without extreme frustration.
I have so many videos I could post, but at this point, Funcom must know what is going on, the issue is so easy to replicate. My guess is this issue is clearly not so easy for them to solve, or they would’ve fixed it already in my opinion.
