I'm Done.

If you had a house, please demolish it so I can buy the plot

Man, it's like we've seen these same very complaints, somewhere before.

It's like a really bad case of deja vu.

Honestly though, we're all struggling here, SE has been doing their best with handling what they can, and with the chip shortage being what it is, there is just so much they can do.

Retainer is included in the free time

Get em no mercy

Okay cool story. See you in 6.1

I have already noticed queues going down. Trying to log in right now it at 1700, a week ago it was at 5000.

go into your sound settings, change your audio from whatever your default device is to something else. change your system as well. change back. typically fixes it without logging and having to go through teh queue.

Sound settings are weird. I can change any other setting on my pc or in the game and it runs fine. The game and pc have certain sound settings that will either crash the game or require game restart. I can do it every time. I just assume it is one of those weird quirks with the way sound is handled. But once you know what causes you check before or just don't do it.

This is actually nice. We have gotten time before, but it didn't include retainers.

Neat?

You know, I was trying to be patient. I was trying really hard to be understanding about the semiconductor shortages, that no one could prepare for the influx of players:

But the cold hard truth is while that may be factual: There could be an emergency patch put into place to fix some things. Square Enix could have called NTT to have them fix the 9006 errors due to their faulty hop. There are a lot of things that could have, and should have been done right away. Bad sound driver? Why wasn't that fix brought in an emergency patch? It should have been. I know they'd have to pay money for an unexpected patch given that the game is cross-platform: But considering there's been a 160% increase in sales this expansion - I think the funds are there.

For four days now I haven't been able to play other than insanely early morning (2-3am CST) Due to the NTT Disconnects, and now after not having had an audio issue whatsoever, I suddenly have NO SOUND other than system sounds and background music. (Yes, my sounds are turned on.)

I've been playing since 2015 but I'm literally not going to pay to be denied basic services for characters, to have to sit in a 2k queue all over again because I had to close my client due to FAULTY SOUND DRIVERS (And not MY drivers but the game's drivers.)

Maybe I'll resub when things have actually been fixed. This is too much, even for me. I can only imagine what it's like for people who work and aren't sitting at home disabled.

Didn't for me. Even restarting did not. Only by deleting the game config files did :/
