Recently, since the update to 4.4, more often than not when I go to exit a dungeon, be it 4-man, 8-man or 24-man, I'm being disconnected from the server (Balmung).

When logging back in, the game will lose connection one more time before I'm able to log in again. On occasion, this will happen when I try to move from one zone to another but is primarily an issue with moving between world server and instance servers.

Troubleshooting performed so far:

Reset IE
Set game to compatibility mode
Restarted all network equipment
Static IP Assignment as well as Dynamic
Changed DNS
Cleared user data for FFXIV (Restored after I confirmed that it didn't fix it)
Clean booted the system
verified all drivers updated.


Short of Reinstalling FFXIV I'm at a loss as to what I'm looking at here. I've even monitored packet flow while this happens and the connection appears stable when this happens.

It's important to understand I can sit inside a zone for an unlimited amount of time with no Disconnect. I can be in a raid for the full lockout with no issues until I go to leave the instance, then it will happen.

Any thoughts or idea's about what I can do to combat this?
