Cant play without using a VNP (Using Spotflux)

[Thorgalkun]

If you have not, I would suggest disabling your anti-virus. I have hear rumors some don't play nice. I would disable it, restart the client in admin and see what happens.

Dont disable your anti virus, ports forwarding doesnt fix this issue either.
The real cause is there are ISP that have issues with the connection while playing the game

Welcome to the club, you are not the only one with this issue.
As of now all I can suggest is to keep using the VPN until Square finds a solution to this issue, and pray that the fix is soon...

Damnit...I hope theres a fix. I already posted there twice in hopes they even GLANCE that im having a problem >.>

I had contacted my ISP (through Twitter, social networking FTW) This what I had recieved



If it isn't on my ISPs end, and its not my actual connection...it has to be on SE's end??

Your ISP might be seeing your connection as a Peer to Peer connection (BitTorrent, and such). If their filters are misinterpreting your connection as such, they will cut your connection. A VPN will bypass such filtering, but unfortunately causes additional latency. I believe these detection systems are automated, so low-level tech support representatives will likely know nothing about them. See the following post:

I hope this is somehow helpful, as I really don't know what else to suggest.

I couldn't get Spotflux to even load the launcher; it'd time out every time. Don't know if ports needed to be forwarded to make it work though.

Yeah im out of ideas...Not sure what to do. I emailed SE about the problem and they only sent me an email saying they fixed the problem a few days ago in the patch. Yeah....no. You guys didnt. and they told me if i needed help to go to the live chat room that doesnt work. SE for the win.
