Repeat disconnects -NOT my ISP.

I am having the same issues.

Someone mentioned in another thread related to this to try using a VPN.

Today i have been dcing roughly every 8 to 15 mins.

Set up a VPN, so far not a blip for 1hr 32mins.

I know its not long enough to consider it being a fix (1.5 hours is not that long), but its the longest ive been online without a dc this week.

Its probably because the VPN is routing better then your ISP is therefore again proving that its a IP issue and not a p99 issue.

I am not trying to blame here, just trying to help get a fix.

I would agree with you if it weren't for the fact that when these disconnects happen its SPECIFICALLY P99 servers, website, etc. We don't lose connection to the internet, our connection to the server is disrupted. You are basically just telling us to deal with it and trust that the ISP will magically fix our problem. They won't, it's up to us to solve this issue. If it were you that could not stay connected this would be a much bigger issue, right?

Now that all the finger pointing for fault is done can we maybe brainstorm other ideas on why this is happening or better yet ideas on how to fix it please? There seems to be a post like this every few months where a select group of players for a region get disconnects. If it is indeed the ISP what are some things we could do to get around this problem? Is the VPN idea still holding up?

After going LD about every five minutes this morning, I decided to try a google search for a Free VPN; I downloaded and installed one. I played for over an hour with out any disconnects before I logged off. It seems to be an effective work around.

With that said, most of the Free VPNs I found limit the amount of data usage before you have to pay.

Correct it happens only to p99 it could be a routing issues on your ISP end connecting to p99. It doesnt necessarily mean its on p99's end.

Did you just come here to say this over and over? We've moved on to ways to correct the issue and you still want to argue about who's fault it is. We don't care who's fault it is, we are not and were never blaming P99; we just want to find a way to play like the rest of you.

Meanwhile the VPN answer is working, I've personally tried it and can confirm that i got no dosconnects for the first hour, then i had to go to work. If there's interest I can put together a small guide (or find one relevant) explaining the steps necessary to work around this issue until it either resolves itself or we find a better solution. Thanks to Gnotshr for confirming the VPN workaround.
