Still losing connection to server far too often

[Frantik]

I thought that this had been fixed?

1) Are you on wifi? The game is really bad at handling dropped packets if the wifi signal isn't super strong.
2) In your documents folder>DDO>userpreferences.ini file, back up the file and edit the original for the line for ConnectionSpeed to:
ConnectionSpeed=10000.00
Some people report it having a big value in there like that vs the default values helps with load times and connection stuff (if it causes issues, just restore your backup of the userpreferences).

Thanks, and yes i am on wifi. FYI it generally occurs just after leaving an instance, especially after finishing a quest.

Thank you once again, rabidfox. I have modified ini file as you described and have been playing this weekend with zero disconnections except for the occasional instance freeze (is it a dc or is it just very long?). Much appreciated!
