Constant disconnect on zone change
I am having this same issue. Am becoming quite frustrated as I have been a constant player for over a year and have never had this issue. It only happens when I am loading instances and even happens when logging into the game. I have re-installed my NIC drivers and have even gone as far as to re-install windows but am still being disconnected constantly when loading new instances. I am super bummed. We have two computers here and the other computer is not having any of these issues. I have reconfigured my IP, tried using a wired and then wireless connection. I have turned off all anti-virus and enabled exceptions to all of PoE. I always log into US servers. Any clues as to what is happening woudl help because I absolutely love this game but if this doesn't change I will have to stop playing. Its making me want to pull my hair out...plz help!

I forgot to mention that we have a very solid internet connection here. At least 33mps download and 3.3mps upload. Have run multiple tests to ping connection and there seems to be no conflict with ISP or modem/router.

Im having this same problem currently. I played yesterday without any issues and now it boots me after a random instance change. I tried speedtest.net and got a ping of 9ms and good up/down.

disconnections only when changing zones are almost always network filtering related (firewall or antivirus or something similar).

I am also having massive problems with this.
When logging in sometimes it will take 15 tries to actually get logged in then things are fine till i zone somewhere. If i do manage to zone in there when I am done that zone and zone out I usually get disconnected. I have also checked all available networking components and connections on my end. I even formatted and reinstalled. -disconnects while - zoning - resurrecting after death Also this type of DC also destroys the instance for me. For example. Before this started happening which was about 2 weeks ago. If I made a portal and then completely shut my computer off and restarted it and reconnected to the game and logged back in I could find my portal still there. This DC is different. If i make a portal and zone back to town I will usually get DC'ed. When I relog in the portal is gone. I cant even go back to where I was because of portal being gone AND the instance is reset too. So if I log on after this DC and waypoint in it's a completely new instance. - this type of DC also destroys portals and resets instances The game is unplayable because making it to the next checkpoint is basically impossible Please tell me how to fix this !!!! I would like to not that I do seem to notice a little bit more stability if i wait up to 5 seconds before clicking any instance or login buttons. like giving it 5 seconds between changing screens. it doesnt work all the time but it is probably 20% more effective.

For anyone still having this issue, I have managed to fix it by setting the windows page file to a constant size.
![]() The total page file should be 1-2x your RAM, spread across multiple hard drives if possible. |
