I log in, only to disconnect a few seconds after i become my character

I try logging into WoW on any character, and it takes a few seconds for me walking around until suddenly i get kicked back out. Normally this happens pretty quickly. I’m a very tolerant person when it comes to this disconnections, however. This has happened at least ten times by now. Something appears to be up. Is there any fix out there for this?

I should also note, I was playing this fine today up until this very moment. I got through a lot of the 8.1.5 quests only to be hit hard with this. So I don’t know what triggered it.

Hey Rqs,

Could you go through the steps to clear your UI (addons) , and test once more afterwards?


Have a few seconds to spare? Let me know how I’m doing!

I cleared them, logged in, same issue. Tried updating them too, DBM’s website seems to be down. But i also found out it may have some kind of relationship to do with my connection. I’m getting connected fine, but my internet has this blip like moment where the internet turns its self off breifly. Normally I’m pretty sure WoW will keep you in game and try and fix the connection when that happens, but not this time. and hasn’t for 8.1 so far overall.

The Blip is like a second’s worth of no internet

Thanks for trying that Rqs. Go through the steps listed in the Connection Troubleshooting Support Article as please, and test once more afterwards.

Sometimes a DC can be related to your Firewall I had this issue a couple years ago after some trial and error I found the software at the time I was using was Blocking WoW after a min or so try considering disabling your security software for 5-10mins play around on WoW if No DC happens then turn your security back play around for 5-10mins if it happens and you DC then you know that is the problem. If that is the case consider making a Firewall rule in your security software which should avoid anything to do with touching WoW it’s a thought hope it helps.

In my case it was my Windows 10 Firewall that was causing issues. Not sure what the cause would be, I was operating two accounts at the time; perhaps it’s two login requests within a short time that freak the Firewall out?
