This started immediately after the patch last night, but before the server roll-back. Until I logged out to take the patch, my game was rock-solid.

I’m unable to play for more than a couple of minutes before I’m dropped back to the character select screen with a putative “lost connection with the server” error. When I log back in, my character is back where they were when I previously logged in*, and any progress I made in between is lost.

(E.g. I just logged a character who had been in Brisbane Wildlands before the patch that accompanied the server rollback. WP’d to Ebonhawk. Ran down to the Fallen Angels Hero Point in the SW of the city, where the fight was already in progress (got the Fallen Angels WP on the way). Joined in, and got the HP. Trained up another skill. DC’d. Logged back in; I’m back in Brisbane Wildlands, my skill is untrained, the HP in Fields of Ruin is still showing as uncompleted. and I don’t have the WP.)

The error code I’m actually seeing is the generic 7:11:3:191:10 – but, given the way my character’s being rolled back every time, it’s hard to see that a simple network drop is what’s actually happening.

Any help would be appreciated, as right now I’m effectively unable to play.

*The very first time this happened, that wasn’t strictly the case. I can’t remember with confidence where I’d been when I logged in that time – could have been elsewhere in Fields of Ruin, could have been Brisbane Wildlands – but I was in Ebonhawk when the very first DC happened, and when I logged my character back in, I found myself right by the portal from Divinity’s Reach. OK, that’s certainly how I first entered the zone, and not all that long previously either – but that’s definitely NOT where my character had been at the start of the session, nor had I been near it. Plus I’d done a few things around Ebonhawk that were still showing as complete (some POIs, the central Renown Heart and so on).

Thanks for that – until you posted that, I genuinely thought I was on my own. Although before I gave up in frustration last night (shortly before the servers went down for the emergency first-aid) I saw the problem in at least one other zone as well, Bloodstone Fen, on a different character.
