were u already a player before the new version 2.0 "MWO Rejuvenation" came out and perhaps you didnt download the manual patch into you MWO Folder and installed it? If not visit MWO home site, all the way on the right click on the Link "Manual patch 090814", on next page ull find "3 Links" click one 1, which one doesnt matter, download and install it.
If u did this already or if ur using the new client where the patch isnt necessary, u may try deleting ur game from your comp, but make sure u delete all traces of the game from ur hard drive and re-install it. that might help.

but OP, you've posted this 10 hours ago...which translates to exactly when the server was undergoing maintenance...so the latest dc was probably because of that...
we've had 2 updates within the past week (friday, and sunday) and will have another one (usually) every thursday of the week.

if you find that your problem happens generally on these days, and at around the same time, chances are, you're always playing when server maint happens =P

as for any other chronic dc, from experience, the server seems to pick and choose who to dc. i never get the "connection failure" message on any other day this happens (aside from server maint when i'm rushing back in) so....if it happens on any other day, here's the simple(ish) solution:

a) open client via mwo.exe the first time (to make sure you have all update files)
b) log in normally, choose your character (this is where it's supposed to "hang" for me usually)
c) if after the first click of "Enter Game" doesn't work, immediately close the game (with that "x" button)
d) relaunch the game using gc.exe (directly open the game without the auto update launcher)
e) repeat steps (b) and (c) until you've successfully logged into your character.

this essentially (i think) forces a connection manually with the server (ie. usually other games have "redial attempts" and i dont think this game has it)
so uh....hope this helps =D

i have no idea if GMs condone that, but you might as well do that, because i doubt they can duplicate this problem on their end, and you'd just get a "we tried and it's fine" reply

Thanks for the reply guys... I have never played MWO before so i guess i downloaded the new version and got the latest by auto patch. And i have done also the manual patch but it's still the same im playing on saga server... also from time to time my bot is having problem coming out from alaman going to beast camp. I have encountered also using mnemonic coming from wave to sun city i get dced. And also when using a scroll from tunnel to alamn i get dced. I will try to remove the game and install it again. If i reinstall it where will be the other files, i believe it should only be in one folder right?

i almost play every day so i don't think it's because of the server maintenance.

Thanks again for the replies.
