another random DC complaint thread

so.. devs are aware that this is an issue.
http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...dce9eea9baa560
and are trying to correct it.

but do not acknowledge or attempt to fix the random dc's that people around the world constantly get. Some days I'll dc a few times every hour, for the entire day, no matter what I'm doing. Some days I won't dc a single time in 10 hours of straight game play, no matter what I'm doing. Sometimes I can't even sit in one place doing nothing but waiting for time to pass while people gather for a party, and I dc every 5 seconds. So what gives? I know the current server system blows, I know a lot of stuff is going to be fixed for 2.0, but this is one problem that persists though, and needs to be fixed sooner.

DC? Or game crash? Those are two completely different issues.

/thread. some things just aren't coming sooner than 2.0

Rarely does the game crash to windows for the known directx issue. It's usually a "There was a problem with the game server" (enter a billion random numbers here) and it boots me to the char select screen.

*edit: totally love that pic btw lol. did you find it or make it? kcco

Made it from some generator website.

Psh, only one Chiver here besides me now. But yes, some things really do need to wait til 2.0 It's not some patch or expansion, it's re-written from the ground up basically.

Chivers do it best.

the only time i crash the way you describe it is if i Zone crashes @ random or during any number of mundane cut scenes again its @ random....the cutscenes are my biggist issue, its gotten so bad i usually take the stair's instead of the well lift.

I haven't had a single disconnect issue. No memory leaks, or any issues really with stability for ffxiv. And it's not just me and my awesome super-computer, either. My kids with mid level gaming machines haven't had any issues, nor the gf with her crappy hp laptop that barely runs the game on low settings.

So perhaps the select few that are having issues are doing something wrong. Just a crazy and wild thought. But you could also keep yelling at SE to fix it, even though it may not actually be their fault. You could post your problem, your configuration, anything that seems to trigger it, your installed software with versions, and how many viruses you have due to programs that people like to use like bearshare and limewire. If you're having crashes, try a clean wipe, install only minimal software, play for a week, and see what happens.

Sounds more like an ISP issue.. i'd get on the phone

This.

Never had a single d/c issue and hell and I'm in EU... Cannot ask DEVs to fix something that is on your side. And saying "but my others games works" is not a valid point to confirm or not if the issue is coming from your ISP or Square Enix.

The only issue I had are DX crashes due to GTX680 drivers, but that's a known issue.

lol, I like that.
I'm not saying I don't have a virus on my brand new-only has minimal software and FFXIV computer, but I'm pretty sure I've done all I could on that aspect. I also understand nobody is flawless and perfectly immune/incapable of getting one.

I never said this. Maybe other people have.

Anyway, I have since done a complete uninstall, virus check (negative), update everything, defrag, virus check again (negative), reinstall, virus check (still negative)
No DC's. Three days strong now.
Not sure what the issue was, maybe some file was downloaded corruptly. I don't have a hard disc copy, I got it from Game Stop download version, when it was on sale for $10. But now it works perfectly and I can even keep AO on again :D so pretty

So, ultimately, the problem was on your end, not SE's.

Seems so. I'm not perfect, I was just complaining.
