Belamy Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 I have been playing this game on EU server for over 18 months and have in excess of 3,000 hours on the game and have not experienced any problems like this before. This has only happened over the past week or so.

The Devs are saying that it is my ISP provider that is the problem but I do not believe that as I have no problem with Global or any other games or internet. Belamy
Belamy Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Hi, When logging on the Shard selection shows PVP EU as having 355 pings and Global as having 336 pings yet I can get onto Global and play normally where on EU I cannot get in to open world as all I see is water and underwater but my ship is there and could easily be attacked while I wait the time to Ctrl Alt Del and go through my computers task manager to get out of the game.

Jean Delaforet Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) not in every battle 1/4 and i have no problem with my connection. Some french friends have the same bug Edited November 9, 2017 by Jean Delaforet
Belamy Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Hi, This is getting absolutely ridiculous, it has now been 4 days with a game that is unplayable, if any of the ports I have goods and ships in are taken then I lose as I have no ability to move them also I am unable to assist to defend or attack in PB's. I can no longer trade, and my building will all be full with no way of producing anymore, it is becoming a lost cause and I am getting very frustrated with the situation. I have now organised to change to a new ISP provider which has cost me more money and this will not happen until Monday week 20th November. I will be very upset if this does not resolve the problem even though I believe that it is not the problem of the ISP provider but the EU game server as the game is fully playable with no issues on PVP Global. Explain that one other than blaming the ISP provider for having connection issues to Europe. Four days solid is not a temporary connection issue, especially when I have been playing EU for over 18 months (Excess of 3,000 hours) and this has not occurred before, definitely not to this extent.

Belamy Captain, captain Jean Delaforet experience another problem not related to issues that affect players from Thailand. In your case changing ISP is not a 100% solution since another player use a different ISP. The problem might be caused by 3rd party ISPs that blocks certain ports on the way from you to EU servers. The fact that another player from Thailand does not experience issues if connection is run by VPN indicates that problem is related to ISP and unfortunately not on our side (thus we cannot help with the issue as we already checked all affected characters). Could you please call your current ISP support and describe the problem? Also ports that are needed for the game are: 7770, 8089, 5672, 5222, 8080, 21020-21036, 7401-7600.

Has this been the case all along or only since Unity 5 has been introduced. If they have been required all along then how does that explain that I have been playing on EU for 18 months without a problem until recently. Too late to call current ISP as I have now committed to the new ISP that will be connected on 20 Nov. Belamy
Ink Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Captain, those ports were required since beginning 4 minutes ago, Belamy said: If they have been required all along then how does that explain that I have been playing on EU for 18 months without a problem until recently. Some issues may happen from time to time, like emergency situation with cables or ISP could start to block those ports, etc.
Belamy Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Hi, Where is the European server located as I am going to try VPN

Belamy Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Hi, VPN has resolved the issue it would appear the Thai Gov is blocking certain ports. Thanks for your help. Regards Belamy
Red Dragon 13 Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 I am located in Argentina and playing Global server i have been disconnected many many times in the open world since last Friday. Ping goes up to 4000 and then disconnects me. My network is doing absolutely fine, I do not use any VPN, my family members use the internet with no problems at all. Thanks for looking into this.
Red Dragon 13 Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 I run the test by Steam, report Number NAS-797401
Red Dragon 13 Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 happened several times since my posts. F11 them.
CoyoteJohn Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 Server connectivity issues on Global as of 1730 (GMT -6). Ping spiked to nearly 2k (is around 60 normally). Happened twice within 10 minutes and I couldn't reconnect.
Ink Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 Captains, there were indeed some drop of players by that time but server itself had no issues, it must be temporary issues on 3rd party ISP sides.
