Questions: R0 relatedFollow

Okay. I'm sure someone has thought of this, but we were discussing it in the IRC room, so I thought I'd ask. I'm making a new thread because I think it'd get lost in any of the 2-5 pages of the others. So please forgive that.

1a.) Those of you that are experiencing connection issues, did you have many disconnects and errors while updating?

1b.) Those of you that are NOT experiencing connection issues, did you have any disconnects or errors while updating?

2a.) Those of you experiencing connection issues, did you run the Check Files on POL Viewer?

2b.) Does it come up with any of the files corrupted?

3.) Those of you experiencing connection issues, were you able to log on the night the update ended?

The reason I ask these questions is probably very obvious. I'm wondering if the disconnects during updating corrupted some of your files. If you have the file on your computer, the updater wouldn't necessarily recognize it as corrupted, just that you have the file on your computer.

I've stated before, I can't find my dead zone, but I also was able to update my FFXI as soon as the update was available, and had absolutely no problems playing the night the update had finished. So yeah. Those are my questions.

1b.) Those of you that are NOT experiencing connection issues, did you have any disconnects or errors while updating?
No disconnects or errors while updating. In fact, I got my update downloaded and installed in about 1.5 hours.

The one thing I HAVE noticed, is that in besieged, I'm getting a lot more lag than ususal. Probably from all the people around who actually ARE having connectivity issue. That's just a guess.

1b.) Those of you that are NOT experiencing connection issues, did you have any disconnects or errors while updating?

I'm not experiencing Issues.

I disconnected and timed out about 7 times total throughout the big version update. I started at 6pm EST the day of the update. It timed out on me 3 times during the night. I left it running when I went to bed, and woke up with it timed out.

I restarted it before going to work, and when I got home from work, it had disconnected again sometime during the day. I restarted it about 2 more times over the course of the evening and finished the update somewhere around 7pm.

Took about 24 hours from start to finish (due to sleep and work) but I finished. I have a 2mb charter cable connection, behind a router.

I have not had a single problem connecting after the update.

1a.) Those of you that are experiencing connection issues, did you have many disconnects and errors while updating?

Answer (YES)

2a.) Those of you experiencing connection issues, did you run the Check Files on POL Viewer?

Answer (NO)

3.) Those of you experiencing connection issues, were you able to log on the night the update ended?

Answer (YES)

I haven't been able to log on sense the night after the update.

I am experiencing issues.

I didnt download the update until the day after it was released. I logged on, got it started, went to class, and when I came back about an hour later it was done, no problems. I was busy so I logged off and never actually logged into my char that day.

The next day (friday?) I went to log on and the problems started. It would log into POL okay, but when loading the main POL screen it would time out and I would recieve Error code:POL-1363. Tried reseting router, no dice.

Next I connected my comp directly to modem. Was able to log into POL no problem. Logged into my char in FFXI where I had previously logged out in MH in Whitegate. As soon as I logged in I R0'd and received Error code:FFXI-4001. Logged in again and managed to zone out to Al'Zhabi before I dc'd again. Logged in once again to find that my connection was stable in Al'Zhabi. But if I zone into Whitegate I R0 and dc. Thats the only zone I know of where I dc, I havent gone anywhere else.

I tried leaving my modem off for the night and trying once again today. Didnt seem to work.

1a.) Those of you that are experiencing connection issues, did you have many disconnects and errors while updating?
None at all, I downloaded my update without any trouble in about an hour.

2a.) Those of you experiencing connection issues, did you run the Check Files on POL Viewer?
Nope.?

3.) Those of you experiencing connection issues, were you able to log on the night the update ended?
Yeah, there were people in my party disconnecting that night though.

1a.) I had 2 disconnects while updating

1b.) n/a

2a.b) Yes, found no bad files

3.) Yes, I logged on and had no problems at all.

-It was the next day that I was unable to log in. POL -1363 all night long. Finally, at 3am I found a post that said changing IP works.

-so, quick fix, I swapped out my router, and connected my PC direct to my cable modem (thus obtained a new dynamic IP)

-everything worked fine.

-next day, hooked router back up, called ISP, changed IP. Everything is working.... then....

-zone from Northern San d' Oria to Southern..... R0

-zone from MH to SOuthern San d/ Oria .... R0

-so i give up, my chocobo is probably dead by now

-zone from Qufim to Lower Delkfutt's Tower ... R0

-Reinstall RoZ, and CoP ... update again, check files .... R0

-change ROUTER IP (ie 192.168.0.1 ---> 192.168.1.1) .... R0

-connect PC back without Router ---- EVERYTHING IS FINE!!!!!

-SE has some simple explaining to do..... All I want is firewall settings for their new 'software'

If it's affecting both NA -and- EU players, it must be either the biggest backbone EVER, or it must be REALLY CLOSE TO THE SERVERS? *nudge nudge*

This is just giving me more reason to save the $25.90 (two accounts) per month and go back to WoW.

I for some reason thought I had avoided this issue. Until I decided to leave Aht Urhgan. I was fine until I hit Port Jueno. I was trying to get a choco and head to Castle Oz. Then I get d/c. Figuring it was random, I log back in and immediately get a d/c. I was able to make movement progress and managed to zone into Sauro. Everything was normal there. Decided to zone back into Port J. and again got the R0. and went back out. Figuring it was just Port J. I headed off to Castle Oz. I hit Meriphataud, and again I got an R0 d/c. Knowing that I could make movement progress I made it to Castle Oz with 6 d/c's. I even tried to use a warp scroll. No chance in hell, I didnt event see my hit points register it was so bad. I mad it to Castle Oz and crossed my fingers.... I held a strong connection. So Port J. and Meriphataud were the only place causing me issues. I did have 2 d/c's while downloading update however.

I have RO disease when zoning into Qufim and Dynamis-Windurst (only areas i've found since after being stuck in dynamis for 3 hrs + i have decided to stay in my MH in Jeuno and Whitegate so as not to get "stuck" anywhere, rendering the game utterly unplayable to me since I don't want to get stuck on an Airship or in the middle of a large zone).

I was interupted once during the update on the night it came out. I started 1 hr before servers came back online, took me about 5 hrs, slow as hell, only one interupt at about 10% installation.

that being said I've had updates go Much worse and take much longer and interupt me many many more times than this and I've never had this issue playing on a Playstation 2.

File check yielded no problem in ffxi or pol.

Have reset modem many times for varying lengths of time to no avail. I have been putting off calling my ISP (because they have been very very good to me in the past) until I see what happens basically.

I can play other stuff so i'ma just hang in MH until this is resolved and play PSU and Rogue Galaxy and Madden :)

Thanks everyone for posting their replies. It must just be coincidental that a lot of the people not having connection issues got the update before servers were back up. I'm still utterly confused by it. Maybe those of us that aren't having issues just have such a remotely used zone as to not realize we DO have a problem zone? *shrugs*
