Hey, so today I experienced something weird and really annoying, since it happened about 8 times during the afternoon and evening.
I keep minding my business ingame, various characters, various locations, then suddenly everything stops, like when a disconnect is about to happen. You know, players running in one place, you can’t cast but can move around. Weirdly enough, the chat function keeps working. I can’t even log out or exit game, so I have to force-close it. After logging back, I find myself on the location I left my character when the forced exit happened, not where the “disconnect” happened. Everything on my laptop works normally but this, so it’s not an internet problem. I did a speedtest during the last time I got in this situation in-game, and it came back perfectly normal. WinMTR also doesn’t show anything extraordinary.
While I was writing this, I had the game open behind the browser window. I saw this phenomenon happened twice, but this time, after a while, the game started working again. After the second time, I’ve seen 2200-2400 ms lag indicated, while everything else which uses internet connection, includin WinMTR, worked perfectly fine.
Does someone have any idea how to solve this issue? I just started a scan&repair as my last idea. Thanks in advance!
