Error 302. Lost connection the the lobby.

PapaTankers · March 2023

Since past week I have been starting to experience disconnects from the game. It takes me back to login screen and I get error code 302. "Connection to the server has been lost".
It usually happens atleast once every 2 hours.

I have monitored my network traffic and contacted my ISP. There is no point where my own internet connection has went down. I have no problems in any other games.

What I have tried so far:
Restarting and reseting router.
Resetting network settings.

Update.
I have tried both steam and standalone clients.
Reinstalling, repairing the client and nothing works.

Please help. I am unable to play content that I enjoy.

Same story here, I don't have a ticket open yet but want to add I have the same issue. DC with mostly error 302 after about 2h of playing.

UtopianWarrior88 · March 2023

Spent my morning doing some writs and surveys, a bit over 2h in I got this error. No trials, no dungeons etc.

PapaTankers · March 2023

Update:
Tried running the game with no addons and all addon data settings cleared,
iPV4 only
Running the game on wifi only
Running the game on cable only
Setting static IP
Flushing DNS
Power cycling router
Talked to more technicians with my ISP.

Nothing worked so far. Disconnecting every 2 hours like a clockwork. No documentation on what error 302 stands for. I am out of ideas.

I have started it; currently in the process of testing, but as it's for me a minimum of 2 hours, it's slow. We have been able to rule out many things like virus scanner, ports etc.

I wanted to share an update for anyone who might be having the same issue.

We have coordinated with @UtopianWarrior88 and it so happens to be that we are both from Estonia and under same ISP (Telia) with same router (Genexis ED500). He has another person in his household that has the same exact issue.

From that we have concluded that this has to be a routing issue due to the fact that we are able to play without disconnecting when using VPN. It's very unlikely that it has something to do with windows settings.
Currently in the process of talking to support to figure out if that's something on zenimax side and if they can help with that.
Also contacted ISP and waiting for their response.

I will post an update as soon as I have more to share.

UtopianWarrior88 · March 2023

As mentioned; ISP is investigating, if others have this error on regular interval VPN is actually recommended to diagnose whether it is local settings or ISP.

Bump. I do necroing is against the rules, but here is some additional info for those having same problem.

Workaround for this issue is playing via VPN. This is a problem for everyone who use "genexis ed500 pure" router, which is alot of Telia clients. Its one of the most popular ISP's in EU.
There is nothing ISP can do about it. No router settings can fix this. This is a routing issue from zenimax side. It happens when connecting to akami server.

Zenimax, please fix. We have given support alot of data to work with. It is not reasonable for us to have VPN as a requirement just to play without disconnects.

@PapaTankers

Thank you for the update and sharing the workaround you've been using.

Did you try contacting your ISP regarding this issue?

Thank you for reply.

Yes. ISP said the only solution would be to either change the router or talk to zenimax regarding their routing.
