;)

Never had an issue with this....until today.

congratz welcome to the club. Use AoCQS to skip patcher and cutscene if you have it. everytime you wanna change char press exit and run the game again with AoCQS set to skip the boring stuf. Forget about relogging like a normal human being from now on . ;)

btw when a new patch comes dont forget to un-tick the AoCQS skip stuff checkbox.

Try setting your DNS manually.

Since I am using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (google dns) this problem is gone for me. Of course there are plenty other dns out there, google was just my choice.

If this is the solution then Funcom might only need to replace hardcoded domain names with numeric IP address.

hope this helps

Over a month? This garbage has been happening for years, and they don't know how to fix it, pathetic.

Hi, i'm using wtfast as well, didn't work for me, what port u use on "manage setting" from 22,80,443, etc and which server location u use?

Thanks

Any one having this problem atm or is it just me?

so let me see if i get this right; the game crashes, and you get blocked from logging back in for 15 minutes minimum??

There just aren't words for a gamer to explain how much of a fail this is....
