The constant disconnections are making this game unplayable for me. I went to play on Friday for the first time in about a week and couldn't even get the game to connect. Now today I can't play as I'm being disconnected every 2-3 minutes.
****ing joke of a game.
Trion get your arses in gear and sort this ****ing **** out. :mad:
Yours sincerely

Have you try all the troubleshoot suggestions few things on your end to do/check there is. I was told of them and did all of them and it is now hard to say if that what I did on my end made things better or if it Trion getting things working better now. I was getting 10-20 Das Boots or so and 7-13 or so system locks PER DAY but now is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooo much better I like can shed tears of joy!!
Thanks for the advice but this IS trions problem. The amount of people who suffer from the same problem would suggest this. That we do not have this problem with any other game or online service (streaming HD movies etc) would suggest this. The mere fact that trion admits in patch notes to trying to "improve server stability" would also suggest the problem is server side.
I could put up with all the other issues this game has knowing that in time (soon) they will be fixed, but how can I continue when the game is so unstable I cant even play it?
Completely agree...i disconnect from this game like no other... its like trying to play a brand new Call of duty on the day of release .....BUT WORSEQuote:

You are destroying your own game.
i'm fed up with the server disconnects too... which is too bad I love the premise of the game but the disconnects suck monkey arse. :(
I guess Defiance likes me now cause it is running so smoother now on my end
Been away for a couple of weeks, come back to see the same server problems still going on. Amazing.
I have only had problems with crital errors at arkfalls/ sieges or in pvp. Still unacceptable.
It is suggestive and I wouldn't say you're wrong. I don't know what the cause is. But I know that the cause can sometimes be exotic. It can also be extremely frustrating when tech support or other forum posters just blame you or your connection.Quote:

I used to have that problem with Norton when I'd play certain games on a comp with Norton's on it. It's weird what antivirus and spyware removal programs can screw with.Quote:

Which it definitely isn't.
The culprit (for me at least) turned out to be McAfee, or a remnant thereof. Though it's not a problem for all games or all computers so it may be some as yet unexplained interaction between the three which is why no-one could diagnose it.
Though it could also be the server. Whatever the cause, I hope it stops plaguing you soon.
Decided to play again today and getting the exact same thing. I've been DC'd about 8-10 times in a few hours. Twice from the same arkfall and one time when I was just looking through my inventory.
I also seem to get DC'd nearly every time I fast travel to The Crater. Happens about 9 times out of 10.
In the last 30 minutes the siege at north point stuck at stage 5, I then got DC'd twice from the same minor arkfall and now I've just been DC'd from a major arkfall :(
I've given up again. It's unplayable. :(
I'll check back in a couple of weeks to see if they have finally fixed this. I seem to waste too much time trying to complete arkfalls and not getting any loot or exp at the end. I think the longest I've been able to stay connected is a little over an hour and a half and that was just shooting raiders in Kenn's to get the 5k sniper pursuit. First arkfall after that, BOOM, disconnected. Their servers can't handle the load IMO. They bit off more than they can chew, can't fix it and won't own up to it.
FWIW, the game was playing just fine on the NA/360 servers pretty much all night yesterday. Not blaming anyone's internet because I've had more than my fair share of that response from forumites back in DCUO's early times. I'm leaning more towards that RAM-less monstrosity commonly refered to as the PS3.
I mean, I love me some PS3 gaming and all... I'm just saying...
If you on Ps3 there are some things to try on your end. Lets just say I was having around 15-25 disconnects a day with about 7-13 system locks and some other odd system freezes and auto resets but my system and game is running better now
I not sure if what I did or it on Trion working on the servers why it working SOOOOO well for me now
