So that’s weird. Was playing just fine last night. Go to bed. Wake up 8 hours later and come back to this.
It says “Connecting”
then “Retrieving realm list”
then “logging in to game server”… extended wait of about 30 seconds
then “You’ve been disconnected WOW51900328”
I checked server status. Shows every server is up and running and I can log into WoW retail and Wrath beta just fine.
Based on what you described, I’d recommend a UI reset as old/corrupted addons is a common cause for these errors. Security software like antivirus or firewalls can also block one version of WoW, so if you still have an issue I’d suggest double checking that each WoW client is allowed as an exception.
Same error when I use my phone as a personal hotspot for my computer.
I did the UI reset as well and no effect. Super weird cause I was playing last night. Shut off my computer, turned it on this morning and boom error. Literally did nothing the game or computer since the time it worked till the time it didnt work.
UPDATE: Okay I think I figured out the issue. I’m from NA and was on an oceanic realm testing latency (friend from Aussy and I are thinking about rolling on the same server for WOLTH fresh servers)
So just now I logged onto my retail character just fine, but then I changed to an oceanic server and boom, disconnected from there as well.
It’s definitely something to do with that.
Duck are you an NA player logged into an oceanic one?
Is there a way to change from Arugal auzzy server to an NA server without logging into the realm first?
Yeah I’m in Canada but play on Arugal. I agree seems to be an issues when only connecting to OCE servers from NA. Now have the same issue on retail, when I switched to an OCE server.
Hotspot does work for me so it seems to be an issue with my home internet provider which is Shaw.
You could try adding this line to the config file in the WTF folder: SET disableAutoRealmSelect “1”
This will be removed the next time you launch WoW though.
In the mean time, would y’all be able to provide a WinMTR test to the Oceanic servers so we can see what is happening?
Click “Start” and open the game. Let the MTR test run for at least 10 minutes to capture this issue occurring.
Click “Copy text to clipboard”
Type two sets of four squiggly lines and then paste the contents of the WinMTR test between: ~~~~ Paste WinMTR Test Results Here ~~~~
Note: If it’s not letting you post, break links by adding a space before .com/.net, so you can post them. You can also upload the MTR contents through Pastebin and post the link then highlight the link and press the ˂/˃ button.
I’m guessing there is an issue between here and Australia. The thing to reset realm also didnt work. SET disableAutoRealmSelect “1” in the wtf config didnt take me to the realm selection. I’m off to work now. Im sure it’ll be fixed when I get home (hopefully)
To clarify, is your hotspot using a different provider than Shaw? If they are both using Shaw then there may not be any change. You could try powercycling the modem by turning it off for 30 seconds or 30 minutes if that doesn’t help. This can sometimes help clear out old data in the modem that prevents connecting to certain realms or regions.
Never done this so not sure if I did it correctly but here goes ~~~~|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| WinMTR statistics |
You need to run the WinMTR for 5 to 10 minutes in the background while you are experiencing issues within the game. Starting then immediately stopping it doesn’t show anything as not enough packets are sent.
I have the same problem and i’m connecting from EU to the US.
It started a 2-3 days ago. I usually cant login. , i get disconnected. After trying again several times the game logs on.
I also experience weird lagging / phasing errors ingame etc sometimes.
Something looks weird on both tracer commands when it comes to your cluster ae2.3608.ear7.Chicago2.Level3.net in Chicago? ( that’s the number 9 on that list ) Or perhaps there is something messed up with the uplink to US from outside areas?
So the problem still persists but I was able to find a work around.
I downloaded a free VPN. Changed my IP address to a location in Europe. I then was able to log into the Oceanic server/ I then changed my server to wesy coast server. Then I disabled the VPN and can now log in and out. I’ll make sure to stay far away from the Oceanic servers now.
The free VPN i used is called ProtonVPN. Downloaded and installed it in minutes. Then just hit “quick connect” and then logged into wow. Was simple.
I ran that WinMTR thing for several minutes. Here is is
You didn’t run the WinMTR nearly long enough, as you only sent 148 packets. You also are showing bad latency with a best of 6ms and worst of 24ms on your connection itself. Reboot your connection with the power removed for at least 1 minute before plugging it back in to reconnect. If the problem still persists afterwards, contact your ISP as it seems they might be blocking traffic.
