[21.04.2017] Let's fix your random DC problem

Dear all,

this week we have received a noticeable amount of complaints about "random" DCs - those DCs that happen to one or two people from the party.

We inspected our network and haven't found any significant thing that could lead to this (no, I'm not talking about mass DC, when the whole server gets kicked out, those we fix on our side).

Yesterday, on April 20, we've been working individually with several players, analyzing their disconnect reasons and network problems and haven't found any common issues. Some people had to delete Frost folder, some delete virus and other just restart their PCs. In my own case - my video driver went crazy so I had to reinstall it.

But we've got an algorithm that allowed us to get faster to the reason of the problem.

​

So from now on we stop receiving your complaints here on the forum and in my PMs in Discord and let's do it in a more organized manner where we can keep track of everything.

If you experience frequent random DCs (every 5/10/30 minutes),

try to:
1) delete the Frost folder and repair the game on the website with this little wrench:

2) restart your PC

if both doesn't help,

1) please, open support service page: https://eu.4gamesupport.com/new-ticket (if you just see the search box, click "Ask a question" to get the form)
2) chose:

3) Subject: "I have random DCs"
4) Antivirus: put your antivirus name or "none" is you don't have it
5) Firewall: firewall name or "none" if you don't have it
6) Description of your network: a couple of words on how you connect your PC to the Internet.
7) Hosts file can be found here: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc , right-click it, open with: notepad and copy-paste the contents
8) Server name: what server you play on
9) Message:

Put your character nickname and attach the logs (better save them to different TXT files and attach below) the message
