    Windows 10 1511 update

    I'm looking to find out if anyone else's wifi connection is acting crazy because of the latest Windows 10 update and what, in particular, is causing the disruptions. It got particularly bad this past weekend when I could hardly stay on more than 15 min before being disconnected.

    I used a wired connection, and so I can't speak to the wifi, however, it might not be your wifi, check to see if you have any "sync/one drive/cortanna" processes that are duplicated a lot. It might be a services issue that's sucking up your bandwidth. (Just a thought) Best of luck.

    Haven't had an issue with the update however my isp has been awful as of late. Virgin media, it keeps dropping every hour for 15 mins. It's been driving me crazy. They say it's due to the influx of Xmas shoppers online

    Wifi connection has been going nuts for about a month-ish now, and gets especially bad with FF running (though this may be Comcast's craptastic service making the already spotty issue worse, who knows). Win10 here. A friend also had Win10 but ended up rolling back to 8.1 because his wifi was also being really weird.

    Myself, I'm at the point where I'm questioning if it's Crapcast's fault, if it's a faulty Wifi adapter in my computer, or if it's Win10 itself.

    Random somewhat off topic question while this thread is here... how safe is upgrading to Windows 10 at this point? Any issues with this game or others for someone with decent google problem solving skills?

    Honestly up until this Wifi weirdness (which on my end may not even be related to win10), I had zero troubles running the game. In fact it almost ran better than before, though I upgraded my computer as well as OS so take that with a grain of salt. Far as I've seen there aren't a lot of issues with Win10 aside from this possible Wifi issue.

    Did the devs not say that the NA data centers have been having issues lately? I haven't had any issues with using the Internet and have not lost signals, but it's the NA data center that is having issues. Last night was horrible playing, I had to log off right after a Wanderer's Palace run. That fixed that. There was so much lag that I couldn't even use attacks and Mudras correctly.

    Only issue I have is that my internet speed got slower by 30%. I'm wired on a 250mb connection though... So I don't really have that much of a problem with it.

    It's stable for me. However, my professional IT opinion is this: If you are on Windows 7, don't bother until DX12 comes out. If you're on Windows 8 or 8.1, upgrade yesterday.
