    Last night it was bad could not stay connected for more than a few mins... Playing on "A Guardians of Greyhawk Eden Reforged"
    Here's a link to the Log https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjimE1deOmaViyJCMAx-VY8vq7vz?e=mrjo6x
    Been playing this game since 14 or 15 and right now I am frustrated and am about close to uninstalling.

    Normally I don't get an EAC message but last night it was horrendous

    Issues caused by 3rd party modifications are not the fault of the game.

    Sorry, I guess I should have been more clear rather than sounding like I am just complaining.
    Love this game, and it is frustrating to not be able to play on a server.

    Thank you IndigoWyrd for the reply!
    I get Kicked from the Oficial Servers too where there are no 3rd party mods.
    I need help figuring this out, please.

    Screen Shot of the servers I play on ...

    This has been happening for a few years now (2018-19 it started happening) this Same issue with (assuming) EAC. When EAC is turned off on the server I have no issues. It doesn't matter if it is vanilla or Reforged Eden, that's the only reason I believe it is EAC but I could very well be wrong.

    I have also tried running with just a straight connection to the Modem without the router and the same thing.
    Is there a list of Apps that commonly cause Issues with EAC
    I would even be willing to play / start on a server that can it is monitored by admins that are experienced with EAC issues.
    Open to suggestions...

    I noticed this "04-19:09:55.726 15_09 -LOG- Force DX9: False" why would there be this option ?

    You can add a command-line parameter in Steam (settings -> general -> Launch Options) to start the game with specific options, like "-force -d3d9" which will force the game to run under DirectX 9 instead of the default dx11. Sometimes this helps avoid some problems on older hardware.

    While the Official Servers may be unmodded, your client still is.

    Easy enough to test by making a separate, completely clean install of the game and launching from that. If you don't have any issues, you've found where the issue lies.

    A virus/malware scan never hurts either. Likewise, you might also check to ensure your drivers are up-to-date, especially if they're AMD drivers.
    If you play via Steam, run the File Verification check. I have run into quite a few different issues with a number of different games that a File Verification has remedied.

    If you're running Windows, you might also try running the following from an administrative command prompt:

    SFC /SCANNOW

    This is the Windows System File Check utility and it will verify and repair any system file issues it encounters.
    Following that, run:

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    This is the Windows Deployment Image Servicing and Management utility, and like SFC, can correct issues that impact the performance of your operating system.

    If you continue to have this issue after the above, you can try running the Disk Cleanup utility. This can clean up the DirectX Shader Cache, which can also cause a number of issues as well.

    If none of the above remedy your issue, run DXDIAG, save the report and submit a support request, along with your DXDIAG report and let Eleon take a look.
