I, too, have been suffering from this problem. The disconnects seem totally at random. I can play all day and not have one, and then in one evening I can have several in a row. I'd like to try the IP Flood Detection, but sadly that is not an option on my Arris modem/router's Firewall. Only DoS Attack Protection (which I disabled, and still got disconnected), and Ping Blocking, which I have not disabled yet, but might try. There are a few Pass Through options (IPsec, PTPP, L2TP) but they're all enabled and disabling a pass-through sounds like it might make more problems. The strangest thing is, I'm not actually disconnecting. I was running story with a couple of guildies last night, and we got disconnected twice. The whole can't move/act after dialogue or cutscene thing, movie reel icon over head, then disconnect. But it takes about 15-30s for the game to actually kick me back to the character select screen. During that time, I learned I was still able to talk to party members in party chat, and they could respond, before I got dropped. So I'm not losing connection to the game (at least, not totally), but it seems like something is wrong with the way the connection to the story instance works. Don't know enough to hazard a guess. It's still supremely frustrating to lose big chunks of progress like that, and I can't help but feel slighted that this is still a problem years later. I know the Dev team says it's hard to replicate and therefore fix, but it's been years. No one has come up with anything? The cynic in me says they don't care about fixing it, because it's only a problem for some people and the ones who are affected can usually brute-force their way through. I'd like to not believe the cynic, but...

Ah, someone else who is having the same problem I am. Ever since the windows update its an instant crash if I try to fullscreen it or take a screenshot. Can still play in borderless windowed mode fine, but neither running -repair or uninstalling/reinstalling has helped.
