Relentless Disconnections
Posted: Fri Mar 07, 2025 4:55 pm
Hi everyone - I was hoping to outline my issue below and get some help or advice on what to do.
When logging in, sometimes after a few seconds, most of the time immediately. all players stop moving and actions do not resolve (abilities, interacting with vendors or quest givers, joining a group or warband). After around 5-30 seconds then everyone disappears, including objects like BOs and then I am kicked to the character selection screen with a message saying "The server has closed your connection". I have been back on RoR for over a month now, but it's only during the last 4-5 days that I have been experiencing these issues up to the point where it is unplayable. At first, it occurred irregularly enough to persist through it. Now, especially the last 2 days, I cannot play for more than a few seconds at a time and happens to any character that I log into.
I have been through these forums and have tried the numerous suggestions I have found. What helped at first was deleting the cache folder but that only helped for a couple of days. Now, even if I delete the cache folder I still have the same problem. I made an exception on my antivirus software, adjusted settings as suggested here (viewtopic.php?t=20075), reinstalled the game, pinged the server ip address which came back with optimal results, running RoR as administrator, other than Discord (and I have tried many times without) I don't have any programs running in the background and I know my internet connection is ok because I can use the internet and play other multiplayer games without any problems. Since deleting the cache folder for the first few times, nothing I have done or changed has helped at all, and as I mentioned even this doesn't work now.
I know the servers are ok because everyone else is playing, and the friends I am on Discord with are playing just fine as well. For the few seconds that I manage to last in the server, they can see me moving, even when everyone is standing still from my perspective - until I disconnect again. It's really frustrating being well on my way to rr80 and grinding the war crests for Sov then suddenly I can't play anymore.
Anyway any help or suggestions would be a godsend, would really appreciate it. Thank you for reading.
