Constantly getting kicked from server and rolling back progress.

Jonathan said on the stream that it is a DDoS issue and that there isn't much they can do, but they are trying

Jonathan just confirmed in an interview with Dropped Frames that the EU servers are getting DDOS attacked pretty reguarly.

They are looking into it.

Jonathan mentioned in the itmeJP interview that the EU server issues are due to DDOSing...
not gonna be a simple fix

Still happening, still waiting to be addressed. It's obviously their side, and it wasn't happening until last week so clearly something has changed in this week that is fixable, why they're so silent idk

Good to see a few of us are in there XD

The whole information and situation is:

Good - finally to know that there is something related to DDoS.
Bad - that no one mentioned that so far.
Mediocre - that mostly EU is affected by that.
Funny - that it increased in strength after ban wave
Curious - during one of first pages (not remember which topic) someone mentioned that "you should invest into better security"-like stuff and used terminology of DDoS specifically. It was right after the ban wave.
Disrespectful - as this could be announced in many ways, many times. But as always, when there is someone famous then it's not a problem to inform about issue during interview.

At least now we are AWARE what's happening, even without official GGG information. Thank you, everyone.

PS: good to know that DDoS is affecting only specific amount of players, not everyone on EU servers :D

I'd assume that improving server capacity would help to combat the DDOS, despite Jonathan saying that wasn't the case.

Appreciate that's not a cure all and you'd need other security measures, but maybe a shorter term increase might be a better solution for now.

Well, seen as we now know the reason behind the issues, and that they aren't gonna magically disappear anytime soon, can we start pooling ideas that can improve the playing experience?
Whether it be things like using certain servers because they're less volatile, or config changes to reduce its frequency. Even if people notice patterns on when and which servers its worst on. I want to get back playing, but don't want to still be sat here next month scared to load up because im gonna waste time clearing an area just to be reset entirely 15 minutes in, rinse and repeat. 3 times was enough for me to quit for a week.

I dont understand why they cant just temporarily stop the roll backs, Thats the part thats killing us, I dont care as much for the disconnects, But the roll back and loss of progress is a absolute killer. To the point i have not logged in for 3 days.

I played for maybe 6h in total yesterday, no DCs at all. Same on Saturday, 2-3h no issues.

Seems to have been resolved or whoever was instigating the DDOS has given up.
