Staying connected continuously during a game of LOL
Staying connected continuously during a game of LOL
Hey everyone, I just moved to a small village in Ireland and only have broadband. When playing League of Legends, I keep getting reconnected, especially during team fights. It doesn’t happen with other games or even Battlefield 2042. I’ve tried using a VPN with TCP Override, but that stops the reconnection. UDP doesn’t work either. I’m using a Vodafone Gigabox Router connected via Ethernet. I’ve tried disabling the firewall on both the router and PC, using various re-routing tools, rebooting the router, formatting the PC, and even switching to another computer. My nickname is Sleepnaz, and you can see the connection issues clearly.
The problem seems to lie elsewhere, likely in the path traffic uses to reach the LOL servers. It could relate to a peering issue, explaining why the VPN helped by altering the traffic route.
This doesn't contradict what @Donut417 mentioned. The fact you're seeing this only in one game likely stems from a problem along the path between you and the server. It seems like an issue beyond your control. Even though a VPN reroutes traffic, the first connection might take a route that passes through the problematic segment. While TCP over VPN includes error checking and correction with better control than UDP (which usually lacks this), it probably explains why you're not having trouble on TCP. As a temporary solution, using a VPN could help. You might ask your ISP to check their routing, but they may decide not to act unless it affects many users.
