Constant “Network Error” is killing this game for me

i dont get why someone has to get a loss for it, its not like i quit out of the game. they should just void network error games, at least that would take the sting away a little bit
There lies the fine line in all of this. Opponents get pissy when you don’t say yes to friendly quit. You chose to play in Ranked. Didn’t get the result you wanted? Tough. Handle it like an adult.
I had a game in hand the other night and every 2-5 mins the game would just freeze in the middle of a thrown pitch. Then I’d hear the sound of the bat hit it, 3-5 seconds later it was sitting on the base of the wall. Another few seconds I’d see it was actually an out. Then the game disconnects and I get the L.
It wasn’t my home network, ISP or a bad cable. I work in IT Security for a living and I know my home network speed and gear inside and out.
However, this much is true - it is both the fault of SDS’s poorly configured server infrastructure and the cheap NIC card that Sony chose to put in the PlayStation console. None of these instances should result in a loss.
If friendly quits are accepted as a wash, then server disconnects should result as if the game was never played. There is no other way to put that.

It's their servers. It's not your internet connection. It's not that you are getting disconnected due to losing wifi or wired internet connection, it's their servers kicking you for a network error on their end. It's happened to me before but extremely rare and honestly not this year. I've played about 250 ranked season games and countless other games on various online modes. Not once did I get a network error or blue screen and when connection drops it's me getting the win so it's on their end. I don't know exactly what would cause you to be having these problems but in my opinion you are extremely entitled to getting a direct answer from SDS and than trouble shooting help. For someone who bought the game and the game not working due to their servers you are entitled to your money back if they can't help you fix it. As I've said it's definitely not a internet issue on your end. They need to identify the problem for you and tell you what needs to be done to fix it. It is definitely frustrating and it's not even as though you're requesting much. I typed what I did in hopes that Colin or Victor or whomever step up and at least comment on this thread since you know someone at SDS has read it because they monitor the forum. Good luck.

Hello, IT, have you tried turning it off and on again?
-
I got 2 ranked seasons L’s from this disconnect message this year. [censored] happens, I have t seen it again in the other 20 ranked games I’ve played

I have seen other threads about people constantly getting booted with the generic “Network Error.” This is NOT an internet problem on my end — none of my other devices are losing their connections, and I’m looking directly at the solid green dots on my router when this error happens. I can only get through maybe 15 minutes at a time before I get disconnected. Unbelievably frustrating.
Has anyone found any solutions or workarounds for this problem? All the threads and tweets I have read basically say SDS hasn’t responded or been even the least bit helpful.
Gameplay is in a terrible place, but I love this game so much that I’m willing to lose games due to broken fielding. But I am NOT willing to keep losing games due to network errors. I’ve only played 7 RS games (!!!) this year, and I can’t even get through Conquest or Showdown anymore (on that note ... why do I need an internet connection for Conquest and Showdown???).
I have enjoyed MtO, but after playing through with my 2 fave teams, the only reason why I would do it again would be to get a free FotF card. But if they don’t fix this network problem, I have no reason to care about my DD squad. And that means there’s no chance I would drop another penny on stubs. So right now I’ve basically got RttS and, like, Retro Mode.
I know this problem seems to be affecting a small subset of us, but it is unbelievably frustrating. SDS ... please!!! Fix this!!!!
I just went 2 days with this popping up every time I tried to get on to play but everything else in my house was working just fine
-
Switched to hard wired and no DC since
Had 4 DC in like 230 games with wifi which I guess isn’t too bad but frustrating as it seems my WiFi went out for a millisecond but I guess that’s enough for a DC
So try hard wired if u can. Your internet has to literally go out to get a DC I think while with WiFi who knows what happens as it lets u log right back in after lol
-
3 more in the last 15 minutes
-
Not that it will make the blindest bit of difference, but I’m having the same problem. Couple of nights ago I Disconnected on the last pitch of the game that I won.
-
This is a common issue if your internet is SUS or if playing on WIFI. Personally I haven't had a disconnect all year.

I hear ya bro! I went 5 years without a single disconnect. Here recently, I’ve had over 20 in the last 3 weeks. It’s ridiculous. It happens when I’m playing conquest, doing missions, ranked seasons. And I’m hard wired.
-
If you keep getting the boot, try hard wiring. It worked for me and I rarely get knocked off now. It's only been a week or so, since I switched...so far so good. Just be sure to switch the PS4 from wi-fi to USB/Ethernet.

Another day, another “network error”.
-
It's your ps4 network card. Your ps4 is getting too hot so the ps4 in order to preserve itself turns off the internal network card temporarily. so whether you are wired or not it's going to happen when the ps4 gets too hot.
reposition your ps4 so it has room to let off heat and even set it on the edge a bit also invest in a fan and have the fan blow cool air on the ps4...

Hmmm...I've played for 6-8 hours straight a few time and still haven't gotten the boot. When it does happen, I can only blame my internet provider and not the game. This sounds like the old Red Ring of Death from the XBOX, but that was because it would overheat and fry the HDD. Remember too, you can't just plug in the hard wire and fly. You need to turn off Wifi on the PS4 and manually switch it to Ethernet when you make the change or else it will go straight to wifi as usual and you will keep getting booted. If you did all this, and it still doesn't work, The Show just hates you and doesn't want you to play I guess.

That's a super flawed take. You're opening the door for people to disconnect their LAN cable once they're about to lose a game. In which case the person winning gets hosed and completely wasted 45 minutes of their life thanks to a horrible opponent. Trust me you do not want this to be engineered into online play. You and others will be singing a different tune if it were to happen.

Same Thing is happening to me with the network connection errors.
-
Another day, another disconnect. SDS, I see you've been responding to some folks. Please tell me what’s going on? It’s NOT my internet! I’m even hardwired in. I’ve had more disconnects in the last 20 days than the last 5 years!! If this continues there will be no reason for me to keep playing.
-
Another day, another network error.
-
Another day another network error! I’m 3 points away from the Trienen card but I can’t get him cuz I can’t get through a game without a network error. I’ve tried 5 times now. But if you check my history you’ll only see one try, cuz PCU games don’t register when there’s a network error......apparently. SDS, I’m gonna post on this thread every single time it happens until you address it. This is absurd. It’s not my net!! ALL my devices work fine without interruption!! Please please do something!
-
3 disconnects within20 minutes!
