Please try this:
Find out if you have Pando Media Booster installed. If you do, uninstall it. Then run the game as usual and see if you get disconnects still.
Can you guys check to see if you have “Panda Media Booster” installed on your machines? Look under Programs and uninstall if it’s there. Sounds like the issue I was having earlier. This fixed it.
Uninstall Panda Media Booster.
Just finished diagnosing this issue. This may be an isolated incident but I was able to recreate it. This could very well be the cause of your disconnections. Take note if you have other MMOs or MOBAs installed.
Symptoms:
Error 7. You lose connection to the game and it returns to the character select screen. Session can last anywhere between 1 – 20 minutes before disconnection.
Can also happen in other games. For example, Eve Online. Will lose connection (socket closed error) in a few minutes of gameplay.
Other related symptoms: YouTube, Vimeo, etc. will buffer videos and suddenly stop. Reloading the site being the only fix.
Issue:
Pando Media Booster.
This applet is installed with several other MMOs. Also installed with League of Legends (where I got it). It serves as a P2P downloader to facilitate and expedite patch downloads. Unfortunately, it keeps several connections open and can cause your service to shut off temporarily. Some ISPs only allow a certain amount of simultaneously open connections and will close any new ones that crop up.
Solution:
Uninstall Pando Media Booster after patching. If another patch is needed, most game launchers will reinstall it for you. If issues suddenly return, check your installed programs to make sure PMB is removed.
I duplicated this issue on 2 machines. Desktop with Win8 hardwired, and a laptop with Win7 on wifi. Both experienced the same exact issues with PMB installed. Also took the laptop to another house with another ISP, same issue.
Hopefully this helps.
Rangers. Rangers everywhere.
