    Bump. Since there are so many useless complain threads in this forum section.

    I'd second that. Petty quest glitches aren't even a big deal and they need to have our situation.

    For me(also a college student), I can't even log in to the server, I just get a login timeout/unknown error every time I attempt to log in, regardless of the megaserver I'm trying to connect to.

    Well... the servers are down currently (sure they've been up for a few moments every now and then, but still officially down).

    Oh, okay, I will try again when they become more reliable. However, I was still experiencing this "Login Timeout" error during the last 2 beta sessions and the early access period. I could not access the servers (except for the 1 weekend I was home about a month ago was home).

    Theres a link to a thread on page 2. They're asking for IP addresses and time of error.

    At Natev215. I might be wrong, but if you are unlucky that you will have the same problem i had earlier. If your college is running their entire system over a Proxy than you will be probably unable to play any Online Games. Did you tried anything else than TESO?

    A friend of mine who is having this issue, being disconnected every five minutes or so, found that he didn't disconnect so long as he was chatting to me in game... which is "odd", but may keep the client in sync with the servers somehow.

    Dunno why hopefully they fix this or plain and simple they lose my sub if I can't play a game i'm paying for then I don't continue to pay for it.

    Flood them with data to help diagnose the problem.

    They want your public IP address, and the approximate time it happened. With those, I'm assuming they can get at the transaction logs and figure this mess out.

    Hopefully they refund us time as well but I doubt that will happen

    I'm having the same problem, and I'm in the midst of talking to my school's IT Department. The odd thing though is that I was able to play the beta a few months ago with no problem.

    I'm having this issue. I'm at home. I've opened up the ports mentioned above (I should NOT have to do this) and it still doesn't help.

    I've been trying for ages and I can't get into the game.
  • Kwoolley91
    The worst part is not getting any sort of response from them other than, "give us your IP"...

    Got back home for the weekend and it works here so I don't think it's account based.

    Anyone else having any success?

    For those who have the issue constantly, there seems to be no remedy. Opening the ports does nada. It seems very much related to specific ISPs, geographical locations, and server load.

    All we can do is keep sending them our IP address and times so they can sort through the server logs.

    And now the problem is back because i'm at college again. This really does suck.

    I've started getting the problem today after the patch problems with no previous problems at all :confounded: It's not port related.

    Ditto, this happened in beta after the servers came back up. It was put down to the number of people trying to log in after a patch.... sound familiar! So much for the stress testing.

    From what I can tell, the frequency of being bounced between instance servers exasperates this issue. Which is why we see it more when everyone is logging back in after down time. I also see it more often in very crowded public dungeons, I suspect for the same reason.
