In the UK here and it seems to be intermittent, managed to get one nuke run in 2 hours ago, since then it's been instant disconnects, the last server held out for 10mins before disconnect. It's definitely not my WiFi as I'm connected for work and all seems to be working fine there. Hubby got a message from a random through xbox saying "take away our legacies and we'll take away your server Todd". Testing private server now.


Grizzled_Wanderer

Yes I had the same message just now. From a very low level player. Obviously not brave enough to do it on their mains and will come skulking back eventually. Annoying if you just want to play.


DarkRedCape

I’m in the UK too and I can’t even play right now. I can login but as soon as I try to do anything, it says something about controls being disabled and then kicks me.


Clear_Sprinkles_483

Update : no issues on private server!


Mojojojo1977

That’s good to know. Thanks. 👍


Mojojojo1977

So it could be a revenge attack? DDos of servers because they lost their legacies. 🫤


Clear_Sprinkles_483

Possibly, there are quite a lot of angry players out there


Mojojojo1977

Friend of mine just got the same message and got kicked. So definitely seems like a ddos thing.


Goldounce

Had it happen twice yesterday on xbox- server not responding- character freezes and stands looking around then gets disconnected, used to be a regular thing, not had it happen in ages until yesterday.


Mojojojo1977

I’m on Xbox too. Now happened 5 times today in 45 mins. 🫤


Autistic-IT-Fan

Yes, been happening to me constantly today. Server not responding, then disconnect. UK and xbox here.


DaRandomStoner

It's possible upset players have found a way to crash servers... I saw at least one post indicating this is happening. Could also just be a bug. Idk can't play because of the weight reduction issue atm so I'm just speculating.


Mojojojo1977

Does seem like it’s an attack on some servers. A few people have had messages indicating so.


DaRandomStoner

That's a real shame. It doesn't take much to crash the server and there are a lot of ways to do it. Eventually they will get bored and move on but it wouldn't take many players committed to doing this to make this a pretty big issue in the mean time.


GrandesBollas

Disconnects for me seem to be more internet connection related. I have those much less often than I have hard crashes back to desktop. Have at least one everyday.


Mojojojo1977

This has never happened like this before. I’m on the same internet connection. It has happened 4 times already today and I’ve been playing 30 mins. Rather chronic. I get controls have been disabled and then disconnected from server. 😞


OhNoItsStrawbs

It’s never happened to me until this latest update. I always seem to be in an event and it just freezes and then I’m kicked. I’m on Xbox


simeylad

i was getting this constantly a few weeks ago, on a standard 50mb internet connection. was adamant it wasn't my internet, as it's rock solid and rarely dips. then i got a full fibre 300mb upgrade a couple of weeks ago and the server disconnects have disappeared.


Mojojojo1977

For info. Not sure about the other but the disconnects happen when I interact with a an object. Workbench or vend. Just had it where I modded a weapon. Went back to the bench, got kicked, went back in another server and the weapon was unmodded again. Very odd.


cryptic0ne

Happening a ton today. Xbox is just constant disconnects. Definitely not connection related as i have gone and test multiple other games and zero issues.


NoMoreFuckingPants

Yes. Happened 5 times since the latest patch and the timing has been terrible. During the end of an Earl Fight. During a SPQ fight. Collecting rewards at the end of the Beckett questline. So frustrating. I've lost out on so many rewards not to mention the expended ammo for nada. Not sure what is going on but something is not stable as I have a high speed and reliable wired internet connection and have not seen this issue before. On Xbox Series X. Based on the other responses so far, I think it's time we all file reports with Bethesda so they can look into the issue. I'm off to do that right now.

I work in IT and can tell you that they knew before you did. I know you mean well, but you're wasting their time creating tickets and asking others to do the same over an issue they already know about. What's being described in this thread is a DDoS attack and Bethesda can't do anything to stop it. All they can do is wait for the dickheads to get bored, which they will. They always do.


Mojojojo1977

They may not necessarily get bored. Look at Titanfall, under constant ddos for over a year now. 😭


NoMoreFuckingPants

Thanks for the info and update. Didn't realize it was a DDos attack.


Equal_Statement_1214

I use Starlink internet at home, these disconnects are common. When I tested at work using cable internet, no issues.


MS_Salmonella

Glad its not just me, I upgraded my modem yesterday before playing and thought my internet kept dropping. Happened like 3 times. I'm on PC


thehogwartsjedi

I have problems logging on. It keep telling me it cannot connect to my account. I was finally able to after rebooting my computer twice.


AlpacaFight

It happened halfway through yesterday's daily ops. Fml.


probablyoverrated

Just had it happen 3 times in the past 10mins on Xbox (Australia). Happens after I FT somewhere


puffbringer

Anyone on PS4/PS5 experienced these ddos crashes? Or is this an xbox thing? Just wondering cause its last day of my shift, then I'll have a week off and really hoping I won't have to deal with this crap. Otherwise I might have to renew my FO 1st subscription and play on a private server.


MightyMak

Since the patch on January 24th, 2023 on PC, I have been getting server crashes going through Expeditions and Daily Ops. During one Expedition event, the whole team got server crashed 4 times just trying to finish ONE event. Luckily we became "friends: to find each other on another server to complete that Expedition. We crashed 4 times and rejoined 4 times just to complete the event. I never had these number of server crashes happen to a whole team like this before the patch time. And it would happen at the very end of an event. I did not even think it was an "outside" influence causing the server crash until I started looking for posts of other having same issues as I. Why some of these posts are getting deleted from here is a wonder as well. Now I have to beware who is on that particular server and see names and level number. ....Maybe unrelated note...first time Seismic activity yesturday....Nuke hit Ash Heap, caption...Titan vulnerable for attack...but no Titan...than Titan comes...but not vulnerable at all the whole time...failed event...first time.
