sillyhysterics Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I totally understand this is a new game and all, but this is ridiculous. The lag spikes and eventual disconnects no longer send you to the character select screen, but rather server select screen, where, 10, 20, 30, 60 minute queues await me. Is this some new mini-game? I wonder if you people even realize this is happening. Nothing more enjoyable than almost completing a heroic or a class quest, then to get disconnected from this game and find myself in the queue. Maybe i should get some Legacy XP out of this. It can be a little game, where you lovely people at Bioware, disconnect me from the game, and send me to Queue-Dom, and for each minute of Queue time, i get .00003834829238 points of Legacy XP. After that, you can allow me to log into the game, where I can redo do whatever it is I was doing or find myself dead and either have to wait to be revived or clone to the med center. Either way, it's a fun game for me. I'm willing to pay $30 bucks a month per subscription for me to not get disconnected and not have to be in queues. Hell, this will be a great micro transaction. For each $10 increment that you spend per account, you can have your queue wait time reduced from 60 minutes down to a measly 5 minutes. TLDR version: garbage game, constant disconnects, long queues, Reply Responses: Don't care if it doesn't happen to you. Yes I'm mad. Yes I have multiple accounts.

RycheMykola Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 There is something going on with your end. either your networking gear, internet connection, or PC related. I have yet to have 1 disconnect, including beta testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JhingXX Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 doesnt happen to me. get a new internet provider. the game just launched, why do you have multiple accounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuriostone Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I'm not experiencing any disconnects except when I idle out. Perhaps you should discuss this with your home electrician or ISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zannex Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Wife and I play side by side...no disconnects for either of us...including beta. I'm not trying to flame you, but you might want to look at your internet gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuldina Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I've had an incredible number of 1 disconnect since the headstart, so it must be on your end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimeran Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) Ive had none, been playing every day and now am level 41. Id say its your end. Get it sorted.

Captain_Rage Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I had one disconnect during Beta, and just experienced another about 10 min ago. It is very frustrating but acceptable. They mentioned something about an update or something; When STO brought out a new anything, the whole game got twitchy as Hades. Then again it could be nothing at all. Only time will tell.

Compston Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I'll sound in: Been disconnected twice since pre-launch at "Heavy", but play on a EU server from NA so kind of expect it. Router? Port? ISP throttling? May want to look at your networking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthJagaer Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Two ways you can look at this OP: Either the above posters are right, or the 51 pages of ppl with the same problem in the CS forum are right. You decide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luda-kressh Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 @SillyHysterics I have played several other MMO's using multiple computers behind a router (dlink dir-825 all connected computers are wired) and I have never seen so many lag spikes and odd disconnects as this game. I have not changed any router settings that could cause this particular game these problems. Lag spikes will only hit certain machines even if we are all together and some will result in disconnect and a trip back to the que. Again, never had this issue in WOW, AOC, SWG, Rift, Aion Etc. I plan to try some router tweaks tomorrow just to see if perhaps this game is sooooo new that it requires a specific setup but I really doubt this will be the case.

Polly_Pocket Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) This issue just started tonight for me. My internet is fine. Disconnected every 30-45 minutes. Quite aggravating. By the way, a common forum fallacy is if it's not happening to you, then CLEARLY it's not happening at all. Clearly...

TanksSWG Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 /played is 5 days and 10 hours for me at this point. No disconnects ever, and average latency of 80ms (don't know whether that is good or not). As others have said, it must be your ISP or network gear.

Benfea Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Alright, guys, let's try to be a little more constructive and have some sympathy. To the original poster: you really should contact technical support, and yeah, that means you're going to have to contact tech support for multiple vendors since most likely this is a problem at your end, with your ISP, or an incompatibility between the game and your router (a sadly common occurance with MMORPGs). Try doing some ping tests and traceroutes. If they turn up any obvious problems, then the problem is either in your house (your computer or home network), or with the ISP. If they don't show any obvious problems, see if the problem happens with other online games. If similar problems happen with other games, then once again the problem is somewhere at your end, but the ping/tracert didn't show the problem (at this point expect to be frustrated). If the problem is only with SW:tOR and if the server you are playing on is not dealing with an unusually large player population (in which case everyone on that same server will be experiencing the same problems, so you can quickly determine if this is the case just by asking a few questions in game), then it's probably one of those game-router incompatibility things... which take forever to fix unfortunately. If you think this is the case, then contact SW:tOR technical support and report everything you've tried. They'll probably have you repeat some of the tests and try a few other things before you get elevated to someone capable of dealing with that sort of problem. If this is indeed the case, then it will take Bioware a long time to test and implement a solution (even longer if the fix requires new firmware for the router, since the router manufacturer probably doesn't give a crap about your game incompatibility). Either way, you'll have to try swapping in different routers (warning: with the way some ISPs have things set up, you may have to give them a call after doing this) to allow you to play until a fix is implemented.

Tsillah Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I disconnected once during beta and never since early access started. I had lag spikes a few times during the first beta I played. Aside from an occasional delay, never again since. Certainly no lag spikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuaarl_Hosmi Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 In the twelve days i've had access to the game its booted me out just once and thats just to my character screen so I was able to get back in within about 20 seconds of being kicked. I was expecting to be pushed to the back of a queue like i was when i first logged in but i wasn't thank god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigironvault Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I don't think it is the ISP on his side. Why? Because my sister and I both play on the same network. I (knock on wood) have not yet disconnected in over 20 hours of play. However, my sister disconnects every hour it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
