Constant Map Server Disconnects

I get map server disconnects, or server disconnects depending on the screen, about every five minutes regardless of where I am, what I'm doing, what programs are running in the background, what graphics settings I have etc. etc.

I tried downgrading my drivers, but to no avail.

Boy am I glad I didn't buy the sub to play this game.

Incarnate trials have a lot of mapserver dump you back to pocket d bugs. They have not been fixed or even really addressed despite a ton of tickets sent...

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Forget what I said about five minutes. Now I get mapserver disconnects in less than one minute.

I don't know what's up with the game and if it has something to do with my system or account, but I'm getting the vibe that CoH devs are quite inept.

Didn't read all the responses so I don't know if this was suggested yet.

I too had the same problem after updating the game. I managed to fix it myself. Exit the game. Start the NCSoft launcher. Right click City of Heroes. select: Repair (consistency check). Problem solved for me. Takes only about 30-60 seconds for it to do the check. If that doesn't work for you I have no idea what else could fix it if you can fix it yourself.

Edit: To be honest the map server problem happens to me every time there is a new patch and so far the Repair feature fixes it every time. I was just sitting in atlas park after getting the game update and kept getting map served for about 3 seconds every couple minutes. After I did the repair check I haven't had problems since.
