I get so many disconnects especially when a boss dies that the game is virtually unplayable. Is this only in Europe? We had some realm fusions going on SF

Unfortunately I find it very hard to play without any addons at all, I could remove the ones first that I need the least. Thanks for the tip. SF

Thanks for the tip. Yeah. I have the game on 2 computers. One of them also had the Oqueue addon installed. And this addon caused 3-5 seconds lock-ups at zone changes and especially after teleports. I learned how ton avoid the DC, but I never used the addon anyway so I decided to delete it. I can imagine other zone dependant or boss fight dependant addons can cause DCs too. Maybe your install is so messed up that a new WoW install with all fresh addons from Curse is the best solution? -- Peter T. <https://elite.frontier.co.uk/>

I cannot heal properly without healbot and dbm. SF ps yesterday I was in normal SOO and it went perfect all the way, no dc for me at all, so probably it's something in lfr

Apparently it is not on the united states servers because noone of you has experienced this. SF

I repaired and disabled all the addons except DBM and recount (I was on my hunter so no problem with that) last night. I think it might be something with my internet because not only wow often shut down but also ventrillo. SF

Some ip adresses ignores ping so you have to find an ip that answers your ping. If you DC you can scroll back in the dosprompt and look for timeouts. And if you have timeouts you have to check your modem, cables etc. and maybe even contact your isp. ADSL and cable Modems are usually built to last 4-5 years before they're worn out. -- Peter T. <https://www.elitedangerous.com/>

I forgot to mention it CAN be remnants from a DDoS attacks or similar somewhere on your route between your computer and your realm's server. I sit in Copenhagen, Denmark, and my realm is placed in Paris, France. Until recently I had random DCs and sometimes it lasted for several minutes. My internet connection was fine and stable so I did a Tracert to my realm and saw my line to Paris stopped somewhere in Germany (more exactly around a hub near Dusseldorf or Frankfurt as far as I remember). Afaik the raid/dungeon servers are placed outside London and I cant remember the last time I've experienced DCs in raids or dungeons unless the so-called world server went down and kicked everybody off. Only when I was PvE'ing on the realm server in Paris... -- Peter T. <https://www.elitedangerous.com/>
