Pseudo disconnection problems

Exact same issue here. Is really annoying because I can’t get through my story mission without it happening, so I can’t complete it…

Still getting this issue, seems to happen at roughly the same point in the mission each time, after reaching the first research group and the mobs start attacking. Sometimes can fix itself until a bit later in the mission but always ends with a disconnect before the end of the mission. All other internet sources working fine, chat working fine in game throughout.

I don’t know whether this is a tech issue or an issue with my story (Forging the Pact), but I keep trying it and getting a strange lag effect, where I can’t use any abilities and they keep doing the “pulse” as if they are activating (which I’ve seen happen before when I’m lagging or disconnected), NPC’s move every 5-10 seconds and I can move freely but can do nothing else. However my internet is perfectly fine, PC is running normally, and most bizzarely I can chat to my guild in-game as if nothing is wrong. Normally when suffering lag/dc’s like this I’d not be able to chat in guild chat, or my messages would come through delayed, however they are acting perfectly normally.

Any clues?

I don’t understand what the problem is with everybody’s game. Somebody should make a video and link it here. I completed this section in a single attempt, and was actually slightly disappointed that it was so simple.

The issue isn’t particularly with it being difficult, its to do with how it interacts with lower end computers. When I wait for the flags to die down, by the time the flags have gone down and I press forwards, the time to reaction is slow enough that getting over to the other side becomes an impossiblity. Especially when you factor in the narrowness of the ledges .

The rest of the game runs fine for me, sometimes it slows down during large fights, but I’ve got everything on lowest settings and generally the game is fine. The issue really I think is that the wind effects even at lowest graphical settings are demanding enough for lower end computers that you wind up with a visual slowdown, which makes it nigh-on impossible.

Eventually I got through it by just asking a friend with a better computer to party with me and do it for me, but there’s just something about this storyline that leads to a slowdown on lower end computers and all I can think that would cause it is wind effects or flag effects.

Needless to say, the quest is far more of an annoyance than a challenge. For people with good computers its a simple jumping puzzle, for people with lower end machines its a nightmare.

Why is it spelled "Zhaitan" when it is pronounced "Zaitan"

A silent h is pretty common in words, I really don’t see your issue.

I’m glad it’s not just me finding this so frustrating. I wouldn’t mind if it was a mob I couldn’t defeat because I wasn’t using the right tactics or I was underlevelled/geared/whatever, but a dumb puzzle where I’m doing the right thing but cant do it quickly enough thanks to delay is just infuriating.

This story mission is so annoying it is unbelievable. My laptop isn’t amazing but can run the game well enough to play fine and do PvP, yet for this mission the slight delay i can get, especially from all the wind graphics, makes it ridiculously difficult to get past the wind blocks. I’ve been stuck on it for several days and it’s honestly ruining my experience. All because of a stupid puzzle. Please for the love of god make it skippable.
