such a shame, ohwell, other things need to get done in real life haha, hopefully itll be smoother when i return :D cheers !

I have this type of error "The operation requires the account to be logged in" about 20x per hour - error table appears everytime in each place - only thing is to make any action during the dc (like trying ot reach waypoint in town, open inventory etc). I have tried almost everything - reinstall game, than delete game and install via steam, recording the ping of own network, system check etc.. Nothing helped.

To have about 2-3 DCs per map is really a pain in the butt, and I dont rather type about trying to play HC league or the maze for the ascend... Really annoying - contacted 3x support, first time cause I thought someone is trying to hack my account - too many DCs in short time, so I thought its someone logging on instead of me.. Support found no unusual activity, i changed my password 2x in a row and Im sure its not caused by third person attempt but the problem persists. If no solution comes, I d not be able to play any longer cause Id have a brain hammerage from that..

Btw for next 2 support contacts I dont even have answer and its about 4 days ago..

This problem is not caused by my side, at least I suppose so, because:

1. if I play storyline with new character, a portal I created about 10 seconds before DC just disappear after I log in again (in few seconds).

2. tripple checked network connection, mine works perfectly tho i see server lagging (by F1 view) every time before the dc..My network run is clean, the ping meter is running whole day and after compare with the dc problem I see network works perfectly at same time - without packet loss or ping jumps.

3. computer in perfect shape and relatively new hw (can play for example S*ar Cit*zen in highest resolution without fps drops)

4. steam installation was full and clean - all requiered parts direct-x with POE req. included. Linked the acccount to steam account without problem, still got dced.

Is there any solution to this? any help or hint?
Thank you.


edited - This problem was not before the new patch for me, played whole weak to farm some soon-nerfed uniques (plenty of time with my broken leg)..

These errors are happening because the EU instances are getting disconnected from our master server in the states.

These disconnections started happening because of network problems caused by Hurricane Sandy last week. We are still working with our server hosts to figure out why these disconnections are still happening.

We also have plans (due prior to open beta) to make the EU servers less dependant on the US servers, so these sorts of connection issues shouldn't have as much of an impact on gameplay if they happen again in future.

In the meantime sorry for the inconvenience, and hopefully we will have these stability issues resolved before long.

hmm I see.. Thank you for the information, I hope not to get a stroke before these stability issues salvations :)) Can you at least tell us for how long it may persist? Thank you
