WoW Forever Disconnect and Can not login after

WoW: Forever WoW Forever Bug Report
1

Game has started randomly disconnecting, I have disconnected when running, while on a flight path and when in combat twice once while in a party.

I have removed all addons, completed a scan and repair and update, and cleared WTF cache file.

Continue to happens and can not log in for hours after a disconnect.

I am in OCE playing on the Horde PVP ruleset.

Edit: Got back in and the person I was partied with also got disconnected and could not get back in for 20 mins.

Go into the wow install folder an delete the “Cache” folder. It will re-aquire all network info. (*should)
Also, if you delete the config.wtf file it will too but you will lose other settings if you kill that one.

This may or may not work but no harm if you just nuke the cache folder either way.

I cant play since yesterday. All was fine, then halfway through a gnomer it became unplayable. I lag lock and DC. Both home and world ping go wild, sometimes one, sometimes both. Ive reset my router and cleared the cache, but nothing. Im not sure my issue is the same as the OP’s because Im thinking my issue is client side, not a game issue.

Same. randomly questing, lag spikes, dc’s. It’s got to be on the server side. Now my characters wont show up.

So I just got hit with this bug while in Barrens. Dc’d logged into the “retrieving characters” message, then alt f4’d a few times, my characters finally were retrieved, but now when I log in I get the message “a character with this name already exists” :skull:

Back in guys. Force down the game and reload

I was able to get back in, I had to got to the gear icon → game settings → reset in game options and that seemed to fix it for me

Same issue, booted (along with aparently half the guild) out of client, then rebooted to retrieving character information, got passed that to see “this character already exists” refering to the character I am staring at.

Edit: UPDATE: Server going down, the hamster is having a heart attack.

I also got just had this issue. I was trying to turn in a quest, right where you learn about camping outside iron forge, and it completely logged me out of the server. Nothing was clickable in game. Then when I tried to reconnect, it was stuck on loading characters. So I forced close the game, restarted the application and tried again. I got in once, but then the server just said nope. I’m so confused as to what’s happening.

So I recreated the bug after getting back in… here’s the steps:

  • DC’d from server while passing in quest
  • Log back into Retrieving Character List (bug)
  • Alt F4
  • Log in
  • Repeat until I was met with “a character with this name already exists”
  • Repeat until logged back into server and found that I had been rolled back a few minutes, so I returned to the quest giver to turn in the quest and was rebooted into the same cycle.

It seems the servers are down for emergency maintenance, so I imagine they are resolving this as I type…
