Frequent disconnects also losing internet connection for few seconds, only when WoW is open

Same here. Can’t play more than 1 min till disconnects.
And this happens also depending of the zone where you are. T_T.

EDIT: Maybe this helps, I disabled Details and disconnections stop, till now

That is worth a look actually. i’m in that position too so i guess i’ll be looking for a wi-fi adapter. This really is the last try though, it has been going on for well over a month now and that is totally unacceptable.

Just gonna chime in and say that for the past 4-5 days this issue has been happening to me as well, I’m literally having internet and when I open wow randomly decides to get a huge lag spike and then I have no internet for a few seconds, I wrote a ticket but im only getting an automated response right now. I have talked to my ISP and theres simply no issues with them for me to try to push them to look for non existent problem from their side. I ran a tracelog while it was happening and its seems -

5 — 100/ 100 =100% 100/ 100 =100% pr01.eqfr5.blizzardonline.net [80.81.195.26]

  • This is the issue because its on this rout or whatever that im getting dropped.

I had this issue back in shadowlands while raiding and I paid for a VPN and it completely went away but now i just refuse to have to pay again just to play the game im ALREADY paying monthly.

For anyone having this issue try using a VPN for me it worked back then, but it’s definitely not ISPs problem like they keep referring me to since it seems to be happening all across Europe and looking at NA forums seems to be happening to people there too!

It’s quite shameful that Blizzard hasn’t reponded to this at all. Clearly quite a few players are having this issue but it seems they just don’t even bother to give any feedback.

Edit: I spoke to soon, im back to 11 minute DCs This is just aaaaarghhh

As an update to this, much to my shame, as my husband reminded me, this is a PC/windows so multiple restarts are required after doing literally ‘anything’ (3 Macs and 1 PC, I forget) and although the situation has not completely stopped, what I am encountering now is acceptable. I managed to actually do a few instances without a DC. In fact, during my playing session I only had 2 and I stopped playing because I wanted to rather than it being unplayable. So, despite having absolutely not clue why, it would appear that this does help the situation, if not fix it. Apologies for my initial response which is incorrect!

Well, tried this. I can confirm it does not work. The only thing this has affected is my bank balance.

What (sometimes) fixes it for me is running the game through VPN.
I presume the anti-cheating software is somehow trying to isolate the network traffic, but instead of isolating the traffic only related to the game, it hooks on to the network adapter on some low level, which causes it to go bamboozle and reconnect.

Out of curiosity, which VPN provider did you use and through which country did you try to connect? I have ProtonVPN subscription and I tried using that but it didn’t work.
