Constant connection loss


(SteelMailbox) #1

I had it happen to me that I lost connection to the last 5 servers I played in and I wasn’t the only one as some of my friends were playing with me and it happened to them aswell. My internet is fine and I know this cause I can play other online games perfectly only DB has connection losses. I am wondering if anyone else experiences this and if so then SD pl0x fix.

That’s not how internet connections work…

Could be differences between the servers of the games OP is playing.

That wouldn’t change or affect what I said, though. Considering the consistency on the ping, the servers from each region are on the same host, and if they aren’t, he being able to connect to other games doesn’t means there’s any issue for SD to solve.

Right, my fault. I know that my internet is fine cause there are no connection issues or excessively high ping but then, bam! Connection lost.

It being an instant thing that affects more than 1 person in a server sure is to raise suspicion.

For it to be a server-side thing, it would likely have to be affecting everyone trying to use anything in that server or host, not just a few people.

And again, that’s not how connections work. There’s no such thing as “my internet if fine,” that’s only valid from your home to your ISP. As soon as it’s out of your ISP, it depends on the routes your connection is taking to reach the destination. If the route your ISP is using to reach DB’s host is having problems in any of the hops along the way, you can get increase ping or packet loss, while anything not going through that route can work perfectly fine.

Perhaps it ain’t a server side thing (even though it affected everyone I asked that was on the server) as you say which is why I am asking if anyone else is experiencing this.
And I ain’t an expert about connection and all that shit, only bare basics so yeah. As far as i’m concerned I seen nothing that will suggest a sudden loss of connection.

Well two nights ago when i was playing i encountered the disconnection ate the end of matches 3 times in a row on different servers.

The disconnect would happen just as the game finished and the end screen dispalyed ‘you won’ and at the moment = disconnected. Also i don’t think i received xp or badge xp for these games as the end screen didn’t manage to display.

However i played last night and had NO disconnects, i am about to start playing tonight so i will see if i get anymore disconnects and report back if i do.
