Disconnects

[spam]

Things were better over the weekend, but this evening I've been experiencing not just long delays in jumps, but repeated disconnects. Anyone else having issues?

There was a problem with adjudication server disconnects (ivory cobra?), but that appears to be resolved now.

Im still locked out with a orange sidewinder and support still has not responded to my ticket. I had to buy a whole new copy of the game and start from the beginning lol.

FD Customer support seems to have gone backwards since 1.0.

I remember getting things resolved the day of, not many days later, or even have to get the issue voted on to get looked at either lmfao!!!

My game keeps crashing when I go in and out of the Scarab since the update. I know it's not me It used to run butter smooth before and I haven't changed anything except update my GPU drivers.... if it was that it wouldn't only affect the scarab

I think they just have a lot of bugs and unforeseen variables to iron out...That explains the initial delay of release...They will get there...Plenty to do while we wait for a smoother play experience...I get knocked off 2 or 3 times in a 4 hour window...No biggee to me...

Server issues are driving me mad with getting stuck in a jump or getting out of my ship and it never loading

Yep that's what's happening to me also, get out and the screen stays black so I have to use the task manager to get out of the game.... and relog if my pi**ed off limit hasn't been reached

Every day my girlfriend gets kicked back to menu several times and every once in a while a long jump time. Doesn't matter if it the middle of the week at 11am or 9pm at night on the weekend. The game has issues. I don't get kicked to menu but I have long jump times, often.

Anyone getting disconnects - do you have port forwarding set up?

No, not fond of poking holes in my firewall. Certainly not going to do it for a game.

Then you're relying on a fallback match-making (TURN) server which exists for people who don't have UPNP enabled (wise) and are also behind a restrictive router.

This game is peer to peer, with instances hosted on player PCs. If you want to use the fallback server to connect, and it's not as reliable, then that's your choice. TURN servers also cause latency issues.

Yep, my choice. Didn't have problems before, didn't have problems today. Has anyone from FDEV come out and confirm that port forwarding actually does anything other than give people the illusion that they are taking action?

In any case, it sin't like there is a shortage of games to play when the servers go sideways. I'll drift away to another game soon enough anyhow.

Stick to solo then. You'll always have problems playing with other people due to the p2p nature of the game. Or you'll be causing problems for other people.

And I bet you have UPNP enabled in your router...

I've not had a single disconnect while all these issues are getting reported... I have set up port forwarding.

I have port forwarding as well, but I get knocked off occasionally...Nothing extreme, though...It is probably just my DSL line...My phone lines are relatively old...

LOL, your hostility seems to be a bit odd, why do you even care about my decisions that have no affect on you? I had connection issues on two recent days out of several years of playing the game. Playing with others has not been an issue so I'm not sure what's driving your 'problems playing with other people' comment.

Since you seem to care, no, PnP is not enabled. My network is not hardened, and I'm sure there are other vulnerabilities, but I try not to be the low hanging fruit.

What hostility?

...why do you even care about my decisions that have no affect on you?

That's the thing, it would affect me; if I tried jumping into an instance you were hosting...

As Sighman pointed out above, without an open port or UPNP: You'll be relying on the TURN servers. Which are a laggy crapfest.

Sounds like you both need port forwarding set up. Use a different port for each PC.
