Server Connection Issues

[Loud tits]

This game has been one of the most fun experiences I have had with a game recently and I would so love to continue playing it and recommend it to my friends for purchase, but this game is just unplayable. I regularly can not play because of the issues connecting with the server. I do not have connection issues like this with any other game or internet service. It persistently will tell me that connection to the server has been lost every time I attempt to travel or join the war. When it tells me "lost connection to server. Please try again." It becomes a dice roll as to whether or not I will even get to play that day as I can spend upwards of an hour attempting to fix the issue. I relaunch the game, I relaunch my steam client, I attempt to re join or travel again and again, but the issue persists. It is just absolutely ridiculous.

If anyone has fix or if the Devs are seeing this please help. I know I am not the only one out there having this issue. I'm sure plenty of people have given up attempting to play this game for this reason as I have friends who describe similar issues.

Try this:

To enable a port range in advance
Click Advanced settings in the left column of the Windows Firewall window.
Click Inbound Rules in the left column.
Click New Rules in the right column.
Select Port and click next.
Select TCP and enter 443 in the Specific local ports field.
Click Next.

Or this:

Network and sharing center -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings -> Untick Automatic Detect.

Or this:

ipconfig /flushdns
nbtstat -R
nbtstat -RR
netsh int reset all
netsh int ipv4 reset
netsh int ipv6 reset
netsh winsock reset

That last one will need a reboot and is... aggressive. Will reset pretty much your entire network a more subtle fix for server connection issues can simply be flushing your HTTP.sys which has worked for me on a couple of game servers, though mostly ones that use port 80.

netsh http flush

In my experience over the ages routing has gotten pretty bloated and over complicated. Too many things have to talk to each other and update each other. If a single hop isnt updated in one of your network routing files by the game, or your system, or even steam or your ISP, then it will be broken until the next time it is updated....and doesnt bug out.

Developers have a huge issues, and usually dont bother, with trouble shooting issues like this for that reason, i think. Just far too many mitigating circumstances and if its not widespread then who knows, is the new way of things.

But yeah, ramble ramble, usually just a badly updated routing entry on our end that stays broken until it is updated again for whatever reason (updates, dns changes, resetting your networks, certificate reiisues and the like).
