Random game kick-outs

Post by Tower »

Has anyone else been randomly kicked from the game?
Maybe not exactly a kick, but the game pretty much just disconnects and returns to the login screen.
Its only started happening after the network code update.
And also while I was typing this.

It happens every few minutes.

Anyone?

Yes, I'm having the same problem, mainly when Haven is minimized.

Yes this is happening to quite a few people.

I guess it's connected to Loftars recent updates for network stability. It happened to me maybe 4 times over half an hour, which is annoying but it's a small price to pay for the lag free experience

Though it's still hard to believe, I guess I was overly harsh with the retransmission login (I dropped people after 10 non-ACKed retransmissions of R-messages). The second update should have eased up a bit on it.

This is especially amusing when I am trying to kill boars. I am sitting there patiently, hand well back from the mouse so as not to start heaving rocks prematurely when -bamfff!- I am back in the log in screen. And this of course means that when I scramble back in to the game the boar is right where I left him, but I have lost aggro so I only get some fraction of the lp...

It's a hard cruel new world, and difficult to grind in.

I think it's from staying in one place too long. Probably to get rid of botters. Not sure it's a good idea to log you out when you're in middle of an action though lol. i was fishing and talking to my one in-game buddy and it logged me out but I didn't move from the fishing spot for a while(which is why I think it logs you out if you're in one position too long.)
