Network Maintenance didn't fix the lag / error 90000 , what did it do ?

[Paintballrulz]

Hey everyone , i open my launcher 20min ago and what do i see ? A network maintenance ?! I was so happy thinking they were fixing their server and everything so i log in , head outside the town and i notice my Titan-Egi is not moving... Lag spikes once again ! And then guess what ? Error 90000.

They keep doing maintenance for log in server , they tell us they are doing network maintenance fixing we don;t know what but they still don;t fix our massive lag spikes / disconnection that come from the server we connect to when entering the game. What's wrong with SE these days seriously ? It's been 4 days and no fix or news about this issue.

I am starting to get more and more mad at the situation now and i am seriously doubting i will sub to this wonderful game only because they have probably the worst support i've seen in years. It's not like it was a problem for only a handful of people. The forum is filled with this issue , hell other players even found out the cause of the problem and yet we have to hear from SE for a fix , at this point give the players an access like a Dev so they can fix the game themselves since we already know the cause of all this.

I am VERY disappointed with SE right now.

I played yesterday the whole evening without ANY errors whatsoever.
¤ Patching was successful
¤ Patching speed was great (3.5MB/s)
¤ The game started normally without any errors
¤ Could access Odin without having to stand in queue and go no 1017 error
¤ I never got disconnected (90k) or had "receive 0" or anything else like that.
¤ FPS was normal

Did I win the lottery?

Please understand that not all errors are with the servers or with SE.
Other people have reported the same disconnect/lag issues and the root cause for some is their ISP.

What they have fixed are issues that caused the same error code, but had different causes behind it.

What ISP are you on to begin with?

The servers will never improve. So its all up to make the most cash with this layout and you can do this filtering ip's. You let in people from region you expect most income and the rest can quit the game because they already have plenty of players.

You can play fine from Euro zone to Japan serevrs with no lag but there is a lot of lag/disconnect from Euro to NA/Euro servers. You can figure out who will get them more cash....

You are talking about log in server , i am talking about the server it connect you to once in the game , the IP you will be connected to , some of them are broken/overloaded and we cannot change our assigned server so we need SE to fix them or close the broken one so we can connect to a working one.

Isn`t the network maintenance scheduled 23 hours from now?

Isn`t the network maintenance scheduled 23 hours from now?

At the following time, we will be performing maintenance to adjust the network software and relieve the access load.

During the maintenance, there will be cases where players will be forced to exit from the server. When disconnected, we please ask to login again.

*There will be no cases where new logins are unable to login.

[Date & Time]
Sep. 4, 2013 from approximately 11:10 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. (PDT)
* The completion time may be subject to change.

It's not my ISP it's the server SE put you on when you log in the game , this is the cause and it's true because if i use a crappy VPN from around the world i do not get these spikes/disconnection anymore , my ISP never throttle the network for any reason i called them and on top of that you are stupid if you think this isn't on SE end with the dozens of errors everyone is having at the moment , it is on their end it;s been proved and some guy found the cause of it before SE even posted a news about the issue or a fix.

You proved yourself that YOUR issue is NOT with SE by using a "crappy VPN".
As I already tried to tell you there are nodes BETWEEN SE and YOUR ISP that can cause issues as well. If you use a VPN, the path goes through DIFFERENT nodes which seems to not have this problem. Even if it went through the same nodes, depending on what kind of packet filtering is done, VPN traffic may be untouched while other traffic is not.

You don't answer what ISP you're on, why exactly?
