Status Update: Regarding the Recent Connection Errors

We are very sorry for the trouble caused by the connection errors experienced by players. We have released a patch to address the issue some players are experiencing, in which an error code (such as 50382-MW1) will appear and connection is lost. The patch implements the following changes: - Adjustment to ease the creation of P2P sessions Adjustments have been made to make it easier to establish a P2P session with players who are waiting in the Gathering Hub when you enter the Gathering Hub yourself. - Reversion of some networking protocols to previous methods In order to diagnose the cause of the current issues, some networking protocols have been rolled back to function the way they did prior to Title Update 3. - The duration for which the quest "Banquet in the Earthen Hall" is available has been extended Many players have been unable to enjoy Kulve Taroth's siege quest, "Banquet in the Earthen Hall" as a result of these issues. In response, we are extending its availability by an additional week, until 11:59 p.m. UTC on Thursday, Nov 22. - Things to check in the event that issues persist after updating Please check the troubleshooting link below, and ensure that all necessary ports have been opened. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8571-GLVN-8711&l - Request for information following update In order to better understand the causes of the connection errors which players are experiencing, we request that players continue to share their error logs with us.
