it also happened to me.
1.- Enter the portal
2.- Loading
3.- Spawns
4.- I move and get roll backed to the same place
5.- Disconnect after few seconds
6.- Someone is currently logged message
7.- Failed to connect to server message

Your network connection sucks.

Talk to your ISP.

Wrongo, this is a server issue with regards to ping and packet loss based on the server load not able to accommodate the new influx of players into the game. I can tell you for certain DO NOT logout inside any major city as you may not be able to log back into until after server restarts. It is just that congested inside cities now.

Articles about packet loss problems were pinned from a year ago and they are having similar problems as new players are now joining. So disingenuous when someone asks for help and some clown blames the player instead of actually RESEARCHING the issue and giving a potential solution to the problem.

If you do not know any helpful solution @Error1018 then keep your silly posts to yourself toxic one. =P

They had similar problems over 1 year ago and had to "HARDWARE RESTRUCTURING" to fix it (i.e. SERVER-side problem not client-side problem).

Do you have any non-4-month-old posts that might point to OP's actual issue?

Also, how "wrongo" can it be when literally 0% of my 100+ ingame friends are not experiencing this problem at all? Wouldn't server issues affect people living in Martlock/Thetford/Bridgewatch/Caerleon/Lymhurst/Fort Sterling/Merlyn's Rest?

p.s. you don't because the server is fine

tl;dr= Sorry for all the jargon with network stuff that you might or might not understand.

It could be a firewall, anti-virus, or router(Wired or Wireless/Wifi) issue since from #4 that usually happen due to lag but if your internet speed is correct and able to connect to those speed test server location.

First I would suggest going into firewall and anti-virus and create an exception to not scan those files whenever they are called into process(other MMO/online game forum would suggest turning them off while you game but that's crazy) since if your firewall or anti-virus is set on high alert it might do a 3 or 4 scan before allow it to communicate with the game server. Slower communication between client and server might trigger a disconnect(timed out) since the server might think you are trying to cause a simple exploit(rubber banding).

Second, if that doesn't work it could be local router(different ruleset on router, not all the same). There might be an option with router ruleset to determine who gets the priority on your local network if you are sharing with other devices. There is also type of application that also get priority so you might have to look into those setting.

GTX 1080ti

Random DCs in 1 out of 4 dungeons,

Connected to the moden directly, 2 feet awat with a cat5 ethernet. Tested a new cat6 ethernet same issue.

Clean Windows 10 OS with all drivers updated.

No other game is kicking me.

Conclusion-Its a server issue. Not a ME issue. What else would you like me to provide you with?


Where is Albion Online server?
Washington DC
Where is the Albion Online server located? The server is located in Washington DC, USA. This server location was chosen in such a way that players from America, Europe and also Russia will have a decent ping.

Didnt see one for DC, so I picked NY

So please, tell me what is wrong with my pc?


I also dont use any 3rd party anti virus, just the default windows defender and my firewall isnt blocking the game.

we are not talking about the maintenance right now. We are talking about actual connection issues that kick you from the game for a second then reconnects you.

Yeah its random and happens randomly, some of my guild members have no issues at all, but 2 or 3 of us do, so not sure. Maybe the server hiccups or something.

i5 661
RX 550 2GB

Installed on SATA HDD
Linux Ubuntu 18.04 latest stable
GPU Driver is not from AMD but using the Ubuntu repository(latest stable)

Here are 2 examples of the DC bug. Happens in cities and in dungeons, usually at night.

Re-Opening Thread - Still an issue, this issue has now branched off to disconnecting the entire PC from the network (Even with an ethernet cord).

Sadly they never fixed the issue for me. I fixed the issue-by uninstalling and never playing again. I hope you can find an actual fix, but as you can see from all the developer replies to this thread, they care alot.
