Disconnecting from servers VERY often.
Anyone getting the message that controls been disabled and then get kicked? i can go back in again no problems but then it happens again half an hour later or sometimes like two hours later.

it happens when you have spotty internet, and is annoying when it hits you just when your about done with an event

Had that happen three times yesterday. Logged into different servers after each drop.

FTR- wired internet, under 60 ping, no lost packets during test.

Not my ISP, it's Bethesda's borrowed servers.

it was a problem before they swapped to microsoft servers and hearing its still a problem kinda does signal it is on them and not individual internet connections. curious if any of the errors happened during interacting with a workbench? in my experience most server hiccups tend to occur with work benches or entering/exiting power armor these be the times when the not responding msg would appear, as far as lagging in the open world never had that happen

there is always the chance someone duping which leads to them bogging a server down to dupe ( this is my impression of how they go about it, could be wrong , someone else like phantom may have much more insight)

their servers also just break down over time and get shut down to deploy fresh ones ( server shut down msg without a weekly reset)

I've been playing about three months on PC and the servers have been fine. Today I had major lag. 3-4 seconds after ordering a door to open for example. Finally quit and played something else.

Today, my main character had five waiting for server response messages, including one ON THE LOADING SCREEN!?!?! First time I have ever seen that.

I had three disconnects from server. The first was just walking around the wasteland, the second was during the 'Feed the People' event. I was disconnected during the last wave. The third disconnect was at the start of the Most Wanted event.

No point in capturing workshops- you won't be able to farm resources between server drops. No point in starting events you won't finish. Between the PA crashes/pauses (I try not to switch in/out of PA), the weapon wheel pauses and incorrectly assigned weapons on startup (I don't change any weapons assignments now), and rewarding AFK's during Fasnacht.... I must be really stupid to keep playing and being a FO1st subscriber for Bethesda's rented crap servers.

Same specs- wired ethernet, under 30 ms ping (good day), no lost packets on test.

I was also not allowed into the server for 15 hours, as soon as I rebooted the wifi router, the problem immediately went away.

I played fine with no problems for about the first week now I seem to be dropping constantly with no resolution in sight. I have a stable fiber connection there's no reason it's internet related at all.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
