Constant “Network Error” is killing this game for me
-
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...

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!!!!

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.

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.
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!
-
I've been getting this issue too... i bought a new Ethernet cord and everything. i get 750 MBPS and my ping is 13... i should not be losing connection

I’m hard wired in bro! I’ve got the best internet around.

Another day another disconnect. It let me play long enough to complete 4 Cargo Evolution challenges. So I though maybe it’ll let me get a cpu game in so I can complete the Trienen program. Nope.....disconnected in the 1st inning. I said it once I’ll say it again, this game is a polished piece of [censored]!
-
Credit where credits due. It let me play long enough to get the Cargo program card just now. We’ll see about online play....
-
SDS.......job well done. No disconnects tonight.
-
Guess I spoke too soon....
