Thank you for the update NumenarMithrandir.

If it happens consistently every hour, there must be something that aligns with that, causing the disconnect (generally, disconnects tend to be much more random). My first thought would be the anti-virus on your PC. Double-check that it has the appropriate exceptions for Final Fantasy XIV.

Additionally, try a clean boot. For Windows 7, click Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box, and then press Enter to start the System Configuration utility. On the General tab, click the Selective startup option, and then click to clear the Load startup items check box. On the Services tab, click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
