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.

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

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.
