Connection seems okay on my LTE via the cellphone.
System and Galaxy maps load much faster than before.
Getting no ships to join for exploration though.

'via: Cajunwulffe, I think the suffering will stop when Frontier realise a vast majority of the player base has left the game and gone somewhere else to play and have fun because these server crashes are defo not fun. I will not leave because I do not have another game to play which is entirely my fault. I just wish the 2.3 update could be FIXED. We don't see Frontier commenting on these posts too which is pretty damning IMHO.'

I been playing since the begging and live in Uganda I have very few issues of they type you discribe.

Anyone else feels like this or am I the only one still? Seems like 2.3.03 update cannot come soon enough...

Am I the only one still suffering here?

Launcher says server status OK

Launch the game and get to main menu. The server stays UNCONNECTED. Wait and wait and wait. Nothing happens.

Click on. save and Exit. Close client and repeat. Same result over and over again.

Fix the game PLEASE FDEV!

Have you posted the information to the Support Forum?

I am able to connect just fine. NO issues of the type you describe, and that seems to be the case for many. Ergo, the problem is probably not with FDev, but between you and them. Could be your ISP, could be a firewall issue, could be windows itself. I had to do a complete windows reinstall after the 'anniversary update' of windows 10 came out because it things up that badly.

I would open a high priority ticket with frontier and have them make sure you can talk to all of the necessary servers (ping, traceroute, etc., all of that you would do from a command prompt) and see where the problem exists. To automatically blame frontier when the problem is not widespread does not indicate a problem with frontier.

Yes I have posted in the support forums and had zero response. I thought maybe Frontier looks at these forums from time to time to see what feedback there is for the Patch's.

Thank you kindly Jessie.

Unfortunately, it is currently a few minutes before 7pm on a Sunday night for FDev. If you dropped a post into the Support forum after about 4:30pm on Friday, there usually isn't much of a chance of getting an official reply before Monday morning when everyone is back in the office.

If you still haven't heard back from anyone on Monday, about mid day for FDev, I would try bumping your Support Forum post, or see if you can find a way to contact Customer Support directly instead of through the forums.

Hope the issue gets resolved quickly for you.

Have you not been paying attention? It's us who are the problem, us and either our ISP or our top end PC spec is not up the game level needed despite us exceeding the optimum build?

We are the ones who are at fault and it's about time we admitted it.

How dare we have the audacity to complain!

Chin up Commander chob1 and keep trying.

Commanders, might be a stupid or misplaced question , but have you tried to configure Google's DNS servers, instead of default ones (which are most probably given by the ISPs)? Might be worth a try, if not tested. I have issues with some MMO games if I use my ISP's DNS so could be a similar issue.
Just configure your network settings to use the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers and give it a go-if it doesn't work you can wipe the changes out.

Also quite helpful could be if you can download wireshark (freeware) and start to sniff with it on the correct network interface, prior attempting to connect to Frontier. ED support will easily spot the problem in the captures later-server unreachable, timeout, wrong address, no port forwarding, etc.. I think network troubleshooting without wireshark pcap traces is just guessing in the dark :(

As I said, apologies if those are misplaced or already discussed & tested..hope they could help somehow

Cheers!

I was having the same problems up until about a week ago. Found that it was due to packet loss with the FD servers. After closing and re-opening and still failing to get in, I found that a restart of my pc let me get into the game 4/5 times.

Hope you get into your craft soon, safe travels CMDR o7

If restart fixes it, perhaps windows auto tunning is causing the issue?

also MTU size can be lowered in game options...

thanks for this. I changed dns servers and I haven't dropped connection while flying yet. I still have a problem opening the mission board in open, group and solo though. I'll see what I can find with wireshark.

Glad it brings improvements!! ;)

In ED options, under network, there is a debug logging (or verbose, not sure how it's called) - turn that on and game will create a nice log file (search the forum-QA mentioned where the log is stored). In it you can see the moment you open the mission board and which server address is contacted and how that connection goes. Might be easier to trace there such issues , but Wireshark is good to do at the same time so you have more data for ED support. After you get server's IP from ED log you can filter in Wireshark on it and all will be clear :) more or less at least

P.S. someone mentioned 2.3 changes MTU size for ED..might be related-you'll see it in the trace if big frames (>1300bytes) suddenly are not acknowledged.

Ok, so this update "fixes" a small number of things (according to the patch notes), yet the Launcher tells me i have to wait 3 hrs to update? I mean, it's not like i really care, at this point. Still haven't been able to play this game "multiplayer" (network code is horrible) and overall this game is boring. But every now and then i still tune in to see what's happening. But all i see is $50 DLC and, again, small updates that take hours to download. Meanwhile, the game world still feels empty, sterile and boring.
