Server Issues?

What would be interesting to see is how people who have lots of connection problems and people who have few connection problems are connected to the Internet and to the game.
router to Net: fiber/cable (phone or TV)/mobile, IPv4/IPv6
PC to router: cable/wi-fi
game: uPnP/TURN-NAT/port forwarding

All of these are in the bug reports submitted. Lots of people have shared their netlogs.

It doesn't matter how, if new players experience this:

Only one bad meal kills a restaurant.
 
There are various options how the game is connecting to the servers, maybe there's something in the default method that's causing connection instability. MTU size? UPnP vs TURN vs Port Forward? Something else (on server side)?

Here you are Z, an official answer:

the servers going down every time: This is an issue that sometimes cannot be avoided, even when our dev team work to ensure the servers can handle unexpected (and expected) load-spikes... be it general user spikes, special event spikes, community event spikes. It's like having 100,000 people hitting amazon.com at the same time, their servers will simply overload for a short while as things catch up - be it manual intervention or automatic scaling to get things back running. The same happened with our Elite Dangerous servers and the Distant Worlds II event kicking off. Having thousands of commanders hit the server with actions all at the same time, made the server CPU's go from low to max in mere seconds. It's something that I know our development team has been working on to minimise for quite some time.
 
Back in, after getting disconnected attempting to start SC.

Popped me out in normal space, 10 KM over the surface port I had been trying to leave.

2113 CST/0313 GMT. The Brits are in bed.
 
I had connection issues around Christmas but meanwhile running rock stable again.
Can't recall a single server issue in the last two weeks and haven't heard anything from the team plus seeing the usual friended players online.

But we are console plebs, maybe it's time to buy a PS4?
;)
 
There does seem to be an unusual variation in peoples experiences.

But as for "RIP, doomed! etc, nah.

Be fair just because they've been wrong every day without fail for four years doesn't mean we should immediately dismiss the concerns of the serial whingers out of hand. We should mock them for a bit first.
 
I have always personally found Elite Dangerous to be a stable platform and have rarely had any server connection issues.
 
Not tried today, but yesterday was appauling, leave Jameson to look for a fight, find one, Dc on drop. Reload.. Still at Jameson..

This happened four or five times before I could even enter another instance, then after I went back for repairs, guess what? Yup. Back in the instance by the star.

Please get these issues sorted. I have'nt played since Q4 because of this and as much as I've been enjoying other games, I have ideas for ships I want to build and test an at this point its nigh on impossible.
 
Been playing a year or two now with no problems but the last several days including this morning has been regular server connection issues. What is going on? Is a fix in the works?

I leave station and try to jump and it just makes the sound and visual effect, then game freezes for a minute or two then kicks you out saying server issues.
 
Can't connect...at all.

I'm trying to complete a 5 jump journey....doesn't seem too much to ask...but no, disconnected 4 times and now can't connect at all.

I've always had connection issues with ED (usually lose connection 2-3 times per session) but it seems to be getting worse.

Edit: Also I love the fact the launcher says Server Status OK....is it really?

Or experiencing what most players get, depends on your perspective.

Why do you insist on keep coming to this thread and throwing in little accusations and suggestions that people are whining or the problem does not exist simply because you do not have any issues. Are we to understand that if you personally have no issue, all the other thousands of comanders could not possibly have any problem?

Finding it a little tiresome truth be told. There are connection issues for me every single day around 5pm onwards. Late evenings or day time weekend seem fine. Although yesterday / night was trouble free. 100% when I have issues in Solo switching to Open pretty much solves the problem instantly. These are facts.

Maybe you have some other issues too? I don’t think generally people here are having disconnects every play session since ever playing. The seem to specifically occur at various times and then eventually go away with suggestions of high loads at peak times. I’ve actually just been playing for a couple of hours and had no disconnects and the level of posts here seems low also at the moment.

Oh, I'd decided to block people like this long before I even bothered to register for the forum. Some people would argue night was day if it gave them another lick at Frontier's lamppost.
