De-Sync Random Issues

Post by Royal Blood »

Description
What is happening is that I randomly de-sync without any initial obvious indication. I can still move around just fine, but if I try to interact with anything, it won't open. I usually check my inventory and if it doesn't load, I know I've de-synced.

When this happens, I get stuck on the login to the server. It doesn't tell me that I am already logged in or anything, it's just very slow on the login process then gets hung-up. I have to restart my entire client to get back into the game.

The reason I use de-sync over the term Crash is because it never like kicks me out of the game. I need to manually exit. And I can always login right after I restart my client whereas if I crashed, I usually have to wait five or so minutes regardless of if I relaunched my client or not.

I am curious if there is anything I can do to make this happen less frequently?

Steps to reproduce
I've not noticed any particular action or time that sets this off. Sometimes I am IG for a while, other times it happens right away and the place I am at varies.

Expected result
N/A

Actual result
N/a

Screenshot(s)
N/A

Misc Notes
I suppose if anyone else has this issue don't waste time trying to log back in. Just restart the game 100% or use the portal logins to just relaunch the game. Every time I start over from a fresh launch it works fine.

Which Server(s)?
Underdark primarily.

Gaming Platform(s)?
PC

This is a weird one.
Does it ever time you out automatically?
Can you see messages - can others see your messages, even if in your game you don't get any feedback that you typed out anything?

Don't click weird links, kiddos.

This happens so frequently now that it's just part of the experience for me. It started in Guldorand's Port area, and I think it's potentially some issue with new tile-sets affecting some people but not others. It's so hard to narrow down. Sometimes it's an internet connection thing but it seems like it happens in specific areas more frequently than others: Guldorand areas, Bendir Dale, Shadow Plane.

RP only starts at 30 if you're a coward.

My internet connection is pretty solid, I don't believe it is that! I do agree it may be something rather tricky to track down so I guess if anything I am encouraged that I am not alone haha.

To answer Iceborn, no, usually I learn I've desynced because I stop seeing messages pop up in a timely fashion. I don't think it times me out automatically I just exist in some sort of limbo. Like I said, if I exit the server, it will let me exit fine. But if I try to log back in, it gets hung up on the login. The only solution is to like shut off like the whole client and start it back up.
