Dev Team Request: Please Fix Timeout Issues for Logging Back In!

[Wynn]

This issue is being caused due to your character staying in the world upwards of 15 to 20 minutes after a disconnect. As the poster above stated, logging in a second character on your account will forcibly remove your stuck character so that you can log back in. Stinks to have to do, but it is better than waiting it out.

I'll sign it, but from what it looks like to me is probably a networking problem.

Other games recover gracefully from networking glitches. This one doesn't. Obviously, networking issues beyond SE's control are going to happen. What we want is to get back to playing and staying within our party/ scenario once the issue's on our end have been resolved... which is what is currently not possible.

Create a second character that you can log-in to after being disconnected from your main.

I agree, though, this definitely needs to be addressed by Square Enix sooner or later.

When this goes P2P, that second character is not free. And doing exactly that did not work for me last night. I could not log in on my secondary character either.

Which is why I referred to it as a temporary fix.

Is your secondary character located on the same server as your main?

Yes, it is.

[Len]

Yes, it is.

Try making one on another server and see if it works - I've never had an issue with it working.
