Miqobot doesn’t interfere with your internet connection in any way.
It’s very unlikely that she is the problem.
We plan to address this kind of issues in the future by implementing an automatic relogger whenever a disconnection occurs.
But this is just a QoL feature which might or might not help you, depending on how severe your disconnections are (for example, a Lobby Server error usually causes the game client to close completely).
We recommend opening Cmd window (Win-R -> type cmd
-> Enter) and starting ping
utility to verify your connection to the game server.
You can find the IP Address of your server on this website: FFXIV Server Status
For example, on Balmung you would type in Cmd window:
ping -t 199.91.189.30
- If your connection is stable, you will see response lines printed approximately once per second.
- If your connection is unstable, you will see delays and/or timeout messages.
You can leave Cmd window opened and continue playing the game.
When the next disconnection happens, simply switch to the Cmd window and look what’s happening.
Additionally, there is a tracert
utility that can help you detect a weak spot in your connection’s route.
tracert 199.91.189.30
– will output a detailed description of every node between you and Balmung server.
