    I can't even get anywhere. Once I click on any of my chars, I don't even get a loading screen, but a "disconnected from server" right away. (PC - based in UK)

    Seems like it happens after almost every weekly server downtime lately. I just DCed about 4 times in 5 minutes. No SNR, no anything. Just "disconnected" and that's it.

    When we have an intermittent gameserver crash like this, we have 2 main approaches to rolling out the fix: 1) kill all the gameservers which will boot everyone but there will be no more affected gameservers to crash later; 2) apply the fix so that new servers that start up are running the fixed code, but existing gameservers will crash once eventually (when they restart they'll be running the new fixed code). The first approach interrupts everyone once. The second approach let's players keep playing until whatever triggers the crash happens, but the frequency of crashes will go down with time (as broken servers crash and fix themselves). For a rare-ish crash like this (which would only trigger when certain characters did certain optional things) we thought it would be less disruptive to go with #2. So yes, there are still some gameservers running the broken code. They will crash when the right confluence of events happen. During the next maintenance, when all the processes get restarted, they'll all be running the new fixed code and no more of that crash will happen.

    for me it's silent crashes every 30 mn to an hour or so.
    i also checked "force verify" in options of the starting menu, and it doesn't do that.

    I keep getting disconnected and other times my game freezes with red text in the middle of my screen. Is it the servers or is it me. I wanna play but not sure how long I can keep this up of not getting my fill.
