Constant Disconnects

No. You are not.

I have run the same mission three times. Everything is good 80% through, and then my screen freezes. I can't do anything, even call up Netgraph to check the problem. After a very long time, I am Mapservered. When I log back in I find that everything I did during the last log-in has been erased, and I am back where I started.

The last time I checked and I was the only one on Test. I have a new DSL connection that is running great, and I have very few issues on Live servers even on full Task Forces.

I have sent two Petitions, and have not gotten any replies yet. Under these conditions, the Test server is non-useable.

No you are not the only one having this problem. Tried several times to run some missions, rolling new alts, power customizing, ect. and I would be mapserved after about 10 mins of play. Sever is very unstable right now apparently.

Nope you are not the only one. I am able to run a mission or two then *SLAM* log in screen! This also seems to be happening on live as well [Virtue].

Have not been to test today at all, but I am hoping it is better. :/

Just a follow up.

I tried to go through the same mission for the fourth time. I seem to be able to operate very well for about ten minutes.

I turned my Netgraph on to monitor the data exchange between the server and my computer. The Netgraph remained at a very low level in the greeen the entire time I was online. There were no spikes of any color. Very smooth.

I am fighting Hellions in this mission, and there were some graphics effects. Some occasional Fire bursts. I am running a Fire/Regen scrapper. No matter how many enemies are near me and what level of graphic effects, the Netgraph stayed in the very low green.

I am clearing a room, and have two enemies remaining. I turn to face them, and then screen freeze. No attack powers visually active for anyone, but I cannot move.

The Netgraph stops feeding the green bar along the bottom of my screen, but the send and recieve sizes keep reporting. They slowly cycle down lower and lower until I am disconnected.

It didn't appear to matter who I was fighting, what powers were active, or where I was on the map. Very odd. No spikes on the Netgraph to indicate any type of connection issues. Just "stall".

I have recieved a useful reply from one of my Petitions asking for more info. I will send my report when I get home.

This behavior is completely foriegn to me. I have played on Dial-up for years and know lag when I see it. I have also had my share of connection type issues.

Since changing up to DSL, I have very few of those. But this sudden screen lock is not anything I have seen in over 4-1/2 years of play.

I'm getting the same problem, but it seems to be linked to the mobs that I'm fighting. I'm running an AE mission to test the influence given when you omit certain ranks from an enemy group.

I get a mapserver disconnect when I'm fighting a group that consists only of Vampyri bosses. It happens during that fight, whether it's at the very beginning of the mission or deeper inside.

There are no netgraph disruptions for me either, so I don't think this is a network disconnect. I think that the process running the mission on the server is crashing, which closes the socket the client is using to talk to the server on, which appears to be the same thing as a disconnect to the client.
