I don't 100% expect that to fix it if I do, but on the other hand, the fact that for most intents and purposes my SO and I have identical rigs but only I'm having issues, tells me there's got to be something specific to my install. At this point the only thing I can think of is to see if SO and I have the same version of Windows (not that I can go back if he's dodged the "updates" so that's a moot point anyway). Or that I'm using an SSD and my SO doesn't have one. But at this point I'm utterly grasping at straws.

The troubleshooter thinking the DNS isn't responding is really weird, but it's almost surely a false positive, because my evidence to the contrary is that I'm connected to the internet at all. No DNS = no internet connectivity. I still see a pattern of either during or very shortly after area transitions being the point at which it disconnects, which might mean there's a bug with how they handle instance code or character transportation. Square Enix is throwing up their hands and saying "dunno" and I don't really see how I can do anything but the same. I may reinstall windows over the week just to try the final nuclear option, but I don't have high hopes.



The problem persists despite windows firewall being completely disabled, and regardless of whether the DNS is set to Xfinity or Google. At least, I think so. I'll try setting DNS to Google with the firewall disabled.
There should be no reason for troubleshooter to think your DNS is not set.. I think you bought a new network card, did you disable the old one which is probably on motherboard?
