What is the Arc Client?
Install Arc

Ok, I have to ask

What the heck is the problem with the servers? EVERY SINGLE TIME I transfer from one map to another, I get "Server Not Responding" lasting anywhere from 45 seconds to 5 flipping minutes. Often it just disconnects me (which it just did, resetting a mission I'd just spent an hour on).

What is going on over there? This has been an issue for YEARS.

GET. IT. FIXED.

    No one knows...

    For some, it helps to use a proxy, rather than whatever you're served. You can chose one from the launcher.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    I've never had a 5 minute no response scenario. But I do get 1sec~45 sec no responses. I play in borderless windowed mode and when that happens I just leave it be. If you start going to other windows and what not you can get disconnected.

    did you download the full game, or do have "on demand download" active?
    Go pro or go home

    OP I too have this issue at times it's sometimes their servers but it's mostly the connection. The only time I have it now after taking a long look at my own router settings and computer settings is when an instance has not yet been created for the event.

    For example, when an instance has someone else in it it will load quickly for me now.... It jumps to 40 percent before loading entirely. When it's empty I have to wait 40 seconds for their servers to create it and send me a reply to my client. Then I jump in. I've been monitoring it and so far this has been the pattern.

    I'm going to check into that proxy setting thing that people are talking about I'm curious.

    Incidently it is also a problem with their servers you are correct, because guess where else it happens, on the console. :D

    It's not that an instance is like a billion bytes, Tig.
    It should not take 40 seconds, especially since maps are pre-prepped, and thus need no extensive calculations on the machine's/server's end.

    I'm starting to think it is intentional, to reduce server load, if it's affecting everyone.

    I've never had it like this before, since I've returned from a long break I get it on nearly every load screen.

    It would be a good way to reduce server load, imagine how many people play the game, and if you can force this upon them it may only be 40 seconds to the player, but multiplied it would help to relieve some stress on the servers.

    I've never had it last five minutes, but a minute and a half or two minutes is common. Also, it doesn't always happen for me. I'd say I'm experiencing a 50% occurrence rate.

    Well, had a few over 60, that's when I go for game restart.
    I am so patient...

    In the launcher, there's a link called "options" in the upper right corner. Click that, and select a proxy in the bottom of the dialouge that appears.

    One is EU based, one is US based... Either may help your problem
