[quote="CHILLZ_MK2"]I've been disconnecting every 2-5 minutes for the past week or two, the game has become unplayable for me. Does anyone know why this is happening to me? I'm not bored yet, I am (was) still enjoying the game but I now feel like I have no option but to quit playing and it's really depressing that nobody can tell me why. I log on from two different towns, two different machines with two different internet service providers yet I get the same thing every time, nobody else seems to get this issue >.<[/quote]

[quote="GREATERIX"]is it actual server DC's or program crashes?? what specs of the machines - OS etc etc. Also which ISP's, along with traceroute's from each. Then we can start helping - a rant doesn't hold much pertinent info ;-)[/quote]

[quote="DR3AD"]Dude!! have u tried uninstalling and reinstalling?[/quote]

[quote="ACE"]that happened to me when i played around with the resolutions try going back to the default one, (cant remember what it actually is)[/quote]

If I'm honest there are two different sets of issues, it's just that they have a similar frequency.. both running Windows 7, on one machine I get a client crash with Windows' "Myth of Soma Client has stopped working" : Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: SomaWindow.exe Application Version: 1.0.0.0 Application Timestamp: 40ee49e0 Fault Module Name: atiumdva.dll Fault Module Version: 8.14.10.390 Fault Module Timestamp: 5154ed9a Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 000104e5 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3 Locale ID: 2057 Additional Information 1: 0a9e Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Additional Information 3: 0a9e Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 I guess it's not a server issue but a compatibility issue, system is an AMD FX 6 Core 3.5 ghz, AMD radeon HD 7700 8gig ram. running Windows 7 home premium and on the other machine which I'm not with at the moment I get the standard "Connection to server terminated" disconnect, when I try and log back in I get another disconnect or the message telling me that the server is unavailable. After logging in for a second time I'm able to connect, this repeats itself almost infinitely it would seem.[/quote]

[quote="CHILLZ_MK2"][quote="DR3AD"]Dude!! have u tried uninstalling and reinstalling?[/quote] I haven't, to be honest I just flipped out and got annoyed with it haha.[/quote]

[quote="CHILLZ_MK2"][quote="ACE"]that happened to me when i played around with the resolutions try going back to the default one, (cant remember what it actually is)[/quote] Really? (edit)That MIGHT solve my problems on this machine, I've been playing it on 800x600 for a few mins now and it's not gone wrong yet. The other machine is showing disconnect from server message though and I have been trying to play it 800x600[/quote]

[quote="CHILLZ_MK2"]Ok, so this machine is DC every 30-60 seconds. A trace route shows : 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms my.router [10.0.1.1] 2 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms BTHUB3 [192.168.1.254] 3 13 ms 13 ms 12 ms host81-139-64-1.in-addr.btopenworld.com [81.139. 4.1] 4 13 ms 14 ms 14 ms 213.120.178.141 5 14 ms 14 ms 14 ms 213.120.177.98 6 13 ms 13 ms 14 ms 217.41.168.37 7 13 ms 14 ms 14 ms 217.41.168.107 8 lasvegas.entertainspy.com [108.62.20.58] reports: Destination protocol unr achable.

[quote="KING"]Staff? This guy needs your help. Hope you get this sorted.[/quote]

[quote="DR3AD"]come on, someone, get this sorted!![/quote]

[quote="GHOSTLORD"]Lag is a tough issue to deal with. It's very hard to determine who's side it's on. Yesterday a lot of people, including me were hit by spikes of a few minutes, I haven't experienced it since.[/quote]

[quote="DUFF"]please the d/cs every 2 mins are getting annoying i want to play the game but at this rate i wont be on for much longer. [/quote]

[quote="GHOSTLORD"]Could everyone that is suffering it make a post here. I'd like to know how big this issue is before I ask Finito to look into I'd like to know: How severe is it (lag spikes or dc's or both) How often does it occur When did you first notice it It would also help to post a trace route in the thread with the instructions in it.[/quote]
