If you have dial-up, most of the disconnecting is 50% becuz of ur connection, not the game... Try playing another game online, it'll do the same as in FFXI. I have Cable so im not too worried about d/c
DCed?

I rarly get DCed. I've seen a few of my LS Members get disconnected, as for me I may have been DCed twice in 3months. :)

By saying this, that means I will be DCed all the time now...lol.

Ever since this update it seems I'm getting disconnected more... Hmm. Got disconnected twice in aboue 10 - 20 minutes... Not fun. Was also lagging really really bad for about an hour... Definately not fun (for once I was glad I wasn't getting parties... Which is really scary.)

It's about time they realized the issue was with them. My boyfriend and I called a GM several times about it, since it has only happened since the last big patch. The first thing he proceeded to tell us was that "blah blah blah, these ports must be open to play the game" Copied and pasted from a manual, I'm sure. But we use a proxy server, so we don't even have to deal with a router. In which he went on to say "PlayOnline does not support network only direct connections" which is BS since having a router to set means you have a network~ ^^ We finally got him away from thinking we were n00bs and explained the problem. I'm glad it's supposedly fixed, I got disconnected during BCNM40, and I think it's the one we died in (-__-);; Grrr.

All this update did for me was make it so I will probably never play again, 90 dollars(3 months, PC version, guestimate on price) and 3 months of my life wasted! Yay. GMs are of course, no help. Great jobe SE.

Dropped about 10 times in the last two nights, haven't dropped in my whole evening of play. Seems fixed from my end.

I'm having connection problems at least every 5 minutes now. If not complete disconnection, Receive hits 0 for a few seconds. Anyone else having this problem... or a solution to it?
Still happening

I'm still getting disconnected, and it's actually happening more frequently (even in the Jeuno rent-a-room). I'm one of those sad folk on dial-up, but things have generally been ok until these last couple patches. It's frustrating especially since a couple people have died and I've also I've d/c'ed during a Garrison mission (one in which I was promised an item). Hopefully the dial-up issues have or will be addressed as well, or I may need to skip out on parties for the time being.

I was absolutely certain it was a game issue, having swapped out my network card, router, all the cables, hell I even went as far as to reinstall the game o,o (wasn't going quite as far as to reformat though)
