Zone Crashing/Connection issues after todays patch?

[Roger]

I am having same problems 5 different PC's, called home and they cant connect then called a friend and he also cant connect. Character selection screen then "you have been disconnected". All running Titanium not sure if all 5 have files downloaded but know for sure this one does. I have tried 2 different characters one in shadowed grove, and one in air havent tried to create new but I dont believe it is a character problem I was online before patch.

like I said, it's most probably a temporary isp/router/connection issue. For most of the players everything seems perfectly fine, but for a few there's a "client side issue" due to the routing problem.

Someone confirmed that he was able to log on his friends account without any issue who had the same connection problem.. the problem will go away in time I guess. Nothing we can do. :/

Been having it happen to me as well. All files are current. Run SoD and private log in. I'm eventually able to get in after 2-6 attempts though boxing is extremely laggy and I tend to get kicked when I zone. I've tried rebooting my modem and hub just in case, though since no other connection issues are present I have my doubts this is the problem. Will post if the reboot helped any.

I was looking through the logs and noticed that when connecting and switching zones it uses all kinds of different ports to do so. Ports in the 50,000-60,000 range from what I've been seeing. I know I have to manually open ports, I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

There is a problem with the Swedish backbone, should be resolved pretty soon. I can confirm this. I can connect through a proxy but not on my regular connection.

Blame the swedes!

[holyhatred]

I have no idea if it's a coincidence or not, but as soon as I opened ports 33000 to 66000. I have had zero problems logging in or zoning, tried several times.

Will give it some time to clear itself up. I thought it may be my ISP since the 3 locations we tried from all have the same but Im able to log in on other servers. Just hope it clears up before the DT's start.

[holyhatred]

It was a coincidence, having issues again.

[ChaosSlayer]

I am having problems today as well
Got instant disconnect on my first attempt to log in, and Ala-Clone only loads pages after 4th-5th attempt.

[Aashe]

Ok I thought it was just me, I was good for like the first 20 minutes but after I tried to zone a few times I've been having issues since as well haha. Zoning takes like 10 minutes if it even goes through, which is about 50% of the time, the other half will just hang until I close and re-log to find myself in the zone finally that I was attempting to get to.
