Recommended Posts

Sometimes, I get this sign appeared on my screen.

It can be of different colours - red, yellow.

desyncing yellow is mild with red problems can be ahead. Normally it shows only for 10-20 secs and its gone. Mostly when another player disconnects

Server connection,

Yellow means Server is not responding right,

Red means Character does not save automatic,

^^ What i've been told and what it does seem like,

Logging out while its being red will spawn you a bit behind where you actually did log out

It means that I'm bugged or something?

No, it happens to everyone. Just don't logout while the red link is up. Only if you commonly get messages of "no response from server in x seconds", then it's a problem.

There are three types (the one you have is #3):

  1. Yellow chain: Desynchronization. (lag)
  2. Red chain: Extreme desynchronization. You might get issues if you do things other than moving around
  3. Broken red chain: No connectivity. No data exchange, i.e. nothing will be saved and server/your internet connection probably crashed

There might be a broken yellow chain as well, but I don't know what that is.

Anyone saying anything else is wrong.

Always log out only after 30 seconds of undisturbed connectivity.

It means your font is too small

It means that you have no sense of humour and you'll soon jump from a high building.

@Vitdom, thanks a lot.

Pretty much this.

Yellow Broken Chain I think is Desync and Disconnected.

Red chain you have nothing to really worry about unless its prolonged. Meaning if you see a red chain, don't do anything unilt it goes away. You will likely waste hours doing something with a red chain only to be rolled back because the server is not connected to the hive.

Yellow is what you should worry about most of all.
