Getting disconnected every few minutes

As the title says, it's been happening since today's patch. Could it be the Foundry content causing this, it seems I can search for Foundry missions again

    I've had the problem too. I think maybe the Law of Unintended Consequences reared its ugly head. When they fixed all those bugs people were seeing they ended up either breaking server stability or there is something in the patch code.

    Also to try to help pinpoint the problem it only happened to me in Sector Space. At ESD I was perfectly fine for several minutes. Also whenever I relogged after getting disconnected I was always back at Sol System, even if I had traveled across the sector map in Sirus.

    I tried heading for Alpha Centauri just in case it might have been a localised crash issue in Sirius, but it happened there as well, I'm only guessing here, but it might have something to do with the Foundry mission content being reactivated

    I had the same thing, just traveling in the sirius sector block, and every minute or so got disconnected, and when i reconnected i was rolled back to where i had first logged on before the disconnect.

    I don't *THINK* its due to Foundry, because I looked at the patch notes and they have not said anything about it being turned back on. Also the client specifically says Foundry is still off line.

    That being said maybe a line of code got twisted around (you would not believe how easy it is to have that happen) and the Foundry got turned back on when it wasn't suppose to be.

    I'm just hoping that we don't see thirty trillion post demanding it be fixed and fixed right now, its only 0644 over on the West Coast USA, most the team probably isn't at work just yet.

    Oh, OK, but the mission search for the foundry is working again, missions showing up in the list. We probably won't hear much for the next few hours from the Dev's or CSR's anyway, they probably ain't even in the office yet

    I can only guess as to why you get put back to Sol system, it might be a game feature that every time there's a disconnect you get transferred to a different instance of the map (you automatically are sent back to Sol when this happens) when you log back in as a way to avoid another disconnect. That's only a guess though

    One of the devs was ingame in TTS earlier asking about this, it seemed that people were disconnecting at the exact same time (with there been no pattern with where a player was ingame or what they were doing, also geographic location seemed to have no bearing either).

    Add me to this list as well, a friend of mine who never Dc's has started to as well, twice in 10 min. before then I was stable in a Borg DSE. I also have the new Boff bug which is annoying as well.
