Keep disconnecting from PSO after 20mins....

Post by retrospector »

Hey all. I just started playing PSO after taking a break for months. I've noticed since I've started playing again that I can only play online for 20mins at a time before I get a message saying "The line has been disconnected. Game over". I can't even make it to Mines on a TTF before I disconnect. Also, I noticed I disconnect alot more often when I am playing in a room, then when I am in the lobby.

I'm playing on an unmodded DC with the discs, and using Dreampi. I've heard something about changing MTU settings in router to 1400, but I did that and it actually got worse, so I set it back to Automatic. .98 is DMZED in my router as well.

I had a similar issue quite a while back where I kept getting disconnected on a regular interval. Turned out it was because my router kept assigning a new IP address to my Pi and every time it did that, it would disconnect me. I fixed it by assigning a static IP to the Pi. There are instructions here on how to do that.
