    No, that does not mean the server has been down even once.
    It only means the connection between your computer and the server was down.
    I have been on the whole day non-stop before your first post, when I posted mine and right now.
    If the server was down, I would be disconnected at least once.
    I am not disputing you have problem connecting to the server for whatever reason.
    I only say and said the server was not down and is not down.

    You need at least 3 pieces of mechanism working to make it works.
    1. Your computer
    2. the server
    3. the connection from your computer to the server.

    Your internet is working does not mean the connection between your computer and the server is working.
    I have all 3 pieces working. Hence, I am playing.

    You do understand when a computer A connects to computer B through internet, it will jump across many gateways, right?

    From your home to the Cryptic server has a route which has many gateways in between. If any of them is down or busy or having issue, you will have problem to reach the server. You don't have control of the routing. Your ISP has limited ability to alter the routing. Cryptic more or less cannot change your routing.

    From your home to the ARC web server (here) is yet another route. This works for you since you made post here.
    From your home to CNN is another route, etc.
    Yes, your internet is working. The connection between your home and the game server is not.

    From my home to the Cryptic server has a totally different route. And, it works.

    there is also an authentication/login server that is separate from the game server so another point of failure

    also it it better to change your dns on your network card /router server to google or cloudfire dns that helps with alot of connectivity issues. and with all online games

    the fastest dns ( domain name service ) resolver is 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 with highest up time even faster then google .. and its free to type it into your network card settings .. normally its set to some random hamster one by default that your internet provider gives automatically/

    https://www.dnsperf.com/#!dns-resolvers

    https://www.tomsguide.com/us/cloudflare-dns-1.1.1.1-set-up,news-26964.html

    This may resolve some but not all intermittent issue users could be having in a variety of online games / applications

    yeah it's weird. connectios seems to be working just fine but login server keeps throwing me out every now and then no character change, upon reconnect it says cannot connect to game server. When restarting the client it says 1 time cannot connect to game server and then it connects. Works fine until character change and same staff all over again.

    was just glad i wasn't the only one having theses issues since i did make a ticket and glad to see the game was working again

    login server keeps throwing me out all the time. its hardly possible to switch toons. Changing instances throws me out to and need to restart the game several times in hope that i will get in. Sometimes it works...sometimes not.

    Post your tracert result to see if there is common gateway among those who has problem.

    tracert patchserver.crypticstudios.com

    Game has become unplayable the past week at some hours of day at random.

    Think of all the people staying home from work soaking up bandwidth.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    Yes, it is like the server can't handle the current load, so it kicks some of us off.
  • teamstephonteamstephon Member Posts: 166 Arc User
    i bet the dev ran into the same issue when trying to stream but glad i wasn't the only one having this issue but glad its all done
