Hi HeavensHell!

Yeah there seems to be quite a few people who have that particular problem - where they get disconnects when going to or from instances. I'm not sure how Square's server infrastructure works, but I imagine there are 'world' servers and 'instance' servers and it sounds like when you are being switched from one to the other the connection is being dropped. Then you get lag while your client times out and then finally kicks you.

What's weird in my case is that switching in and out of instances is no problem. It just decides to randomly and instantly kick me in the middle of instanced content. And it's something specific to instances since I can party and run leves/FATEs all day long without losing connection once.

Today was a good day though. I managed to run an entire dungeon, The Steps of Faith (on roulette), a guildhest and two gold saucer instances without being kicked once. Not sure if I did something different . . . but I've got a few things I am going to try on my end to see if it somehow made things better. Hope you have some luck too!! I'm assuming you've tried port forwarding and making sure that FFXIV is white listed with your firewall? Those sound like the most likely culprits for your situation. Either way best of luck!!
