Hey!!! Didn't realize that you had replied!
Needless to say I get dumped (dc'd) so frequently it's becoming almost a deal breaker /cry.
But here is the info...
Background
Platform: Laptop running Windows7 64 bit, NVIDIA 280M, 4gig ram
ISP: Charter
Type of Internet Connection: Cable @ 16MBPS but on my Wireless G Linksys
Date & Time: Weekdays starting at 9PM - 11PM
Character Name: Neo Earth
Race: Hylander
World: Wutai
Class/Skill Rank: 38 MRD
Physical Level: I think it's 33
Symptoms
Almost always crashes with a minute of first logging in. During leaves, behest, running about... I get a crash no matter what I am doing. In fact it crashed last night about 5 times before i gave up. After this occurs It dumps me out to select a character. I do... and it crashes again. At this point it drops me into the initial ffxiv screen and if i log in... it crashes. Bottom line, if it crashes at all, i have to close the client completely before I can attempt a re-connect.
Having said this... i hope there is some way to figure this out cuz I love the game and looking to stick it out.
Is there ANYTHING i can look up, do etc...? I'm a software dev so don't be afraid to ask the tech details or to find some crazy log file.
