I said a day or two ago in the Early Impressions thread that one of the most impressive things about this game, especially being that it just launched, was how stable the servers were. From Tuesday to Thursday I experienced just one server error boot, and it was Thursday. But today I've been booted from the game six times, including from the cutscene (which I'm sure is nonsense) from the end of the final Mars Story mission. I just got through the spider tank section of my first run on a Vanguard Strike of Earth and was booted, the previous game I was in was a Vanguard strike of the Moon and I was also booted from that.

It's super discouraging to be gaining all these things and making all this progress only to be suddenly kicked from the situation (to the game's credit, it does appear to save SUPER often as I've never lost any XP or drops, it just stinks to miss out on the end mission rewards). I'm hoping this is just a random fluke, but I was curious what others' experiences with the network --specifically-- have been. Was anyone else super impressed with the first week's performance overall? Has anyone else experienced a few more issues as the weekend creeps onward and more people dig into their games?

I've been off work all week so played at various times of the day and night (in Europe).

Nights, really stable. Occasional drop maybe once or twice in a night.

Days/afternoons - near on unplayable. Drops every 5-10 minutes and simply impossible to get anything done.

Judging by reaction of Bungies forums, I'm not the only person to have issues.

Rampent speculation alert - I wonder if they are running fewer servers during the day in expectation of lower user loads, but have underestimated and therefore before flooded. Would make sense seeing how evenings are stable yet likely to have significantly higher concurrent users.

I've had a stable connection, granted I haven't played a whole lot this week. Two of my friends who I play with seem to have semi-frequent issues, they're both on the same network, different consoles at their house.

Been happening to me as well. I think it has happened 4-5 times in the last 24 hours. It seems to happen espesially often in instanced content like strikes or pvp matches.

i just got booted while killing the boss of a strike 10 minutes ago. All that time invested down the drain. No rewards or bonus xp for finishing. Pretty game breaking -_-

i've been booted maybe 5 or 6 times total, but waaay less than i thought i would.

I've been playing mainly during nights so I haven't been booted yet. I'm also having a good time with this game; the shooting feels nice, I just wish the story was better but I can easily overlook that if they can make the social stuff better.

I got kicked twice on Wednesday, other than that no issues.

I don't know if this counts or not but i keep getting that baboon error. it usually happens right around the same spot. i mostly to get dropped right after i get control for the first time in the beginning of the game, though a few times i made it into the building before it died. Earlier tonight i had my best run of about 5 minutes of ACTUALLY playing the game and controlling a character! I've basically tried a few times a night since tuesday to get going.

I haven't had any problems yet. Genuinely surprised at how well the servers have held up.

Intermittent boots on Tuesday, Thursday, and tonight as well. Everything finally evened out a bit tonight after a while and I was able to get a few strike missions in without getting booted.

I'm not playing a ton but so far I have had 0 issues. To be fair I've only played like 3 pvp matches and I've probably put max 5 hours into the story, always playing solo.

I would guess I'm 7 hours into story (just past first Venus mission) and I only have had one "error encountered" message - was able to jump right back in. Overall I'm pretty thrilled with the stability. I'm in the Mountain Western time zone (U.S.) and play primarily evening and nights. Have only done 3 Strike missions though - primarily playing solo first time through.

Reading these posts its clear I've been lucky. Knock on wood.

@wreakones: I'm having the same issue but on XB1

I've had about 5 disconnects spread over the five days it's been out. Pretty sure it only happened during a story mission or patrols.

i actually got past the beginning of the game when i tried again today. after about 20-30 minutes i got a new error, though. Impala. Then after i reconnected i got grape error. and then back to baboon on subsequent retries. i didn't have any of these problems in the beta on PS3, but it doesn't seem to want me to play on PS4.

Its been going fine for me until today, I got disconnected from one crucible lobby earlier this week, but so far I've gotten 3 disconnects today. Dunno whats up, maybe the servers are getting hammered a bit more this first weekend after release.

There was one time when, during a load before a mission, I got kicked out because it lost connection to the server. But aside from that (pretty bad) one thing, it's been perfectly fine.

Dropped a connection once on launch day. No issues beyond that, and I've played up to level 22 with one character.

Been dropped out of patrol missions on PS4 a few times tonight in the UK due to server issues (Saturday 13th September) but has been solid up until then, hope they get this drop out sorted soon though.

I've been playing on and off everyday since release and haven't had any problems yet. I was on patrol on the Moon earlier today and it said something about the server at the bottom of the screen but it didn't seem to affect myself or any of the other players in the area.

I've played it three times and never had a problem with the server stability. I didn't think Bungie would screw it up. Activision has a lot of experience with massive multiplayer experiences between Blizzard and COD.

I get a lot of general connection issues. Only once did I get Centipede which threw me back to the main menu. Otherwise it's Bee, Baboon, or Fly. I just got Cacao, which like those others are "general networking errors" that Bungie is "actively tracking".
