An unexpected disconnect occured

can play for 5-10 mins sometimes 20 before getting kicked to main screen, very frustrating to say the least cause im really wanting to give this game a crack

I've been getting this since the first open beta weekend. My wife's machine is *far* lower specs (below minimum, actually) but plays flawlessly albeit not very prettily. She even has a Soundblaster Audigy 2 card, and it works great!

My machine is less than two years old, and not running torrents or any other net traffic except Norton, which is set to idle operation only.

I get solid lock-ups, then the unexpected error + disconnect. We're not on wireless. This is mainly since about a month ago. It's usually the first time a given sound will execute that it fails. The first time I swing, open a jar, use a skill, kill an enemy. The "new" sound seems to be what triggers it.

I can stand around in town and move items around all day long.

This seems to be much worse in act 2. I have several characters, spread around difficulties, leagues, and levels. 2 week hardcore race was the worst. I had three disconnects within 10 minutes before I could even get the the shore encampment.

Because it causes a solid system-lock, I can't get a handle on what is causing it. My processor and phys mem activity drops to zero in Task Mangler, and the Resource Monitor simply records no information whatsoever for the locked-up period of time.

Hope this information helps troubleshoot what seems to be a growing ongoing problem.

same here, started like a week ago, i just cant play the game at all... if i can enter Shore Encampment, then i get disc-ed when trying to get to a waypoint

i get this very often, too. no clue what causes this. sometimes i can play 1 hour without getting it. sometimes i get it twice in a row.(when logging back in)
50% of the time i get it while the loading screen. The other 50% are combat, just staying around, opening menues(like inventory or skillpage)

Is there still no solution for this?! I CAN'T PLAY!!!!!!! AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG

Never had this issue before now getting this disconnection error every 10-15 of playing.

This is SO frustrating my god. Last night I was able to play pretty much all night with only a few d/c's. It was an amazing experience. And now tonight its back to the same old d/c every three minutes type deal. I have been on level one of the church dungeon all night, and I wanna fist slam my keyboard a bit more every time it happens haaaha. Maybe its my computer? It happens both on high and low graphic settings. One day it'll run like a charm and the next I'll be d/c'ing every two minutes. At first I thought there was a correlation between how busy the server was and how much I d/c'd. Now though, I am not so sure. Anyway sorry for the rant please address this problem. I wanna play so bad. *cry*

I don't use wireless. Ran the winmtr but had zero d/c's tonight! As I said it is very random- one day it's fine and the next it's not. Very confusing, cause my connection is great and it runs flawlessly on the good nights- it's even good in-between d/c's. I'll report back next night it acts up. Thanks for the prompt response

same problem no matter what i try to do to fix it
