I have seen this issue recurring in these forums for others and I have had it for a while with it getting really bad recently. I have done everything I think possible from repairing, to fresh reinstall, to disabling firewall, antivirus and other app services. I disabled ipv6 and port forwarded router ports as advised on another thread in this section. My cpu, gpu and system temps are within normal ranges. MY cpu and memory resources are within normal ranges, amd hdd seems fine.
I have lowered my game video settings to medium and below, turning off everything unnecessary even though my fps and latency seem fine and it made no difference. I only usually have sub sampling set to high with the rest medium and low anyway. Its worse in peak times than evening. Sometimes when I try to reconnect I get unable to find server. I have though tried ping, speed and packet drop checks with my pc and network and all fine there too. My ZOS error reporter doesn't work often but submitted an error report last time.
The thing is when I had to do a fresh reinstall the client wouldn't install until I run a VPN and it worked. I tried the game whilst inside the VPN but it still crashed. I had a long hiatus from the game and didn't sub when I returned. I recently was going to do so for the advantages including saving to buy the clockwork city collectors edition for the mount and zone especially. I'm now thinking of quitting altogether in deep frustration. My stuff will go to guildies for all the smart remarks asking for it.
I would appreciate some real help considering what I have already done to try and fix the problem. Thanks in advance.
