Random Disconnects Please Assist.

Hello everyone, a LS mate of mine is having issues staying connected to the game. Any time we gather for content (aside from idling in the mog house) once we enter, he gets disconnected. We've gone through and done some trouble shooting, loaded and unloaded add-ons and plug-ins from Windower, made sure his device drivers are up to date etc, and he still cannot stay connected to the game. Does anyone else have any idea on what a fix could be and able n willing to help us out? Can reply to this thread or shoot me a DM on discord @ ReDefiant88#8490.

Thanks, also I can post his machine specs if it will help.

I keep getting error code FFXI- 4001 no connection. Or the other error code that is connection based. I get them all the time now, I have a feeling its some kind of addon doing it

Happened to 3 members of our ls.
Two different events, 2 different days (yesterday dyna, today vagary), and they always d/c together at the same time.
Two of them are not even from the same country.
It's pretty weird, and it never happened before.

That error can happen on zoning into instances with texture mods loaded, so you know.

The 4gb patch, large memory aware patch, can help. Thread about it somewhere in here.

turn off game mode in win11 if you haven't already

i have been getting it too, kicked to title screen. mainly zoning into mhuara. * should add it started about 7 days ago maybe 10 tops.

I wish I knew how to dial in my qos on my fancy router
I can reliably r0 myself with a large download via http

Mine happens while im afk... almost like that setting is on for the auto log out, where it kicks you out after idling. But mine are all off, and its typically only one or two characters getting it just sitting in town doing nothing. Then it kicks to title screen and like 70% of the time you can just log right back in. Must be a faulty addon if you ask me, but i have not figured it out yet.

Doubt that's an addon
I would even go as far to say powermgmt specifically the gpu

Or windows itself doing some power saving

Would need to look at time before it happens and what settings are still on

VPN solved my random issues. Seriously, look into it.

I dont know but now every day im getting 4001 connection losts. I doubt its the internet, is anyone else getting those?

do you have spectrum? they went away entirely once I switched ISP.

I have verizon fios, and its kinda of crappy honestly but im over 50 floors up so I thought it was to be expected. My PC is wired to the modem and never really had issues before. Its been a recent thing the last few months.

The weird thing is that this only happens when I let my characters go idle. Never when I am actively playing

did you turn off game mode in win11? it tries to reduce cpu/memory usage for things in the background and that includes out of focus ffxi windows.

That was turned on, I turned it off just now, lets see if that works

thank you Kaffy, this seems to have solved my issue.

This is probably unrelated but I’ve been getting a random game-crash that happens with some frequency when zoning into Sortie, or Odyssey. No POL-Error just an outright “Handle Exception Error” box and then I’m sprinting to log back in before too much time is wasted lol.

Anything I can do to keep that from happening at all?
Windows 11, DGVoodoo is on and NextGame’s Texture Pack if any of that matters.

Any addons KNOWN to cause issues? I know Highlight was one of them, but I nixed that already.

I'd bet money you have a bad dat file

I spent a week crashing from reraise it happened so in frequently I wasn't able to realize until I casted it myself and got insta bolted.

Mind you I would crash when others casted it as well

Understood. I’ll take a good look at it and see. It’s weird though because it lets me log back in just fine and do the whole event without any issues. Just very shortly after entering the zone, *boop!* it throws the window.

One of my LS Mates said he was experiencing the same thing but I don’t know if it’s going down the same way or not.

Thanks for the lead.

I think i have the same problem.
I crash only in escha zitah and ru aun for whatever reason
