50000 Error, FIXED! ...then broken :(

[Silmarilos]

Ok, Good news and Bad News: [PLEASE NOTE, The patches and updates mentioned here are NOT including the one on 2014-09-18, that one happened after this post]

SE, the good news: the update before last (Not this week's update, but the one previously) was a masterful one because it finally fixed the 50000 connection timeout error! I went nearly 2 weeks without a single disconnect immediately following the patch/ update. I mean I could literally go 12 hours without one disconnect! This gives me confidence because as I had done absolutely nothing different on my end, it proved that it can be solved via something on the server side!

The bad news: the update that happened this week, broke it. I am back to the usual 50000 disconnect errors between 5-10 times every night.

Would you be able to find out what you changed on the network side to revert back and fix the respective bug that was recreated? Thanks!

PS, anyone else notice similar patterns?

its got nothing to do with a patch
se's serviers
or solar activity, (well, maybe solar activity could influence it)

The issue is caused by the integrity of data communications between yourself and the servers square enix is using - there are a number of intermediate networks whose routing frequently results in dropped packets and connection instability.

you can search out one of Raists many posts on the issue to learn more about the issue at hand.
