    Hey all regarding UOC (classic client) disconnects (keyword stuffing here for Google) disconnect losing connection socket error. POSSIBLE FIX:

    So I have been searching discord / forums & testing different things to solve frequent UOC client disconnects (may also work with other clients) and for anyone else having these issues (i couldn't find much myself) but after adjusting a few things, I no longer seem to be disconnecting (it was frequent, like - for no reason, randomly ever 10 minutes, 30 minutes 60, sort of random right) and it wasn't my internet, other clients would stay connected, but certain ones would DC...

    Ok so here is how i fixed it (i think) so far so good, ONE or ALL of these methods may help you.

    1. firewall. i tried turning my firewall off and that seemed to help - however it didn't fix the issue i kept disconnecting (tho it seemed like less)
    2. Options -> General -> Reduce FPS when game is inactive (DEFINATELY helps a LOT) confirmed comparing to clients using this options vs. NOT, the clients NOT using this, crash when clients using this option don't (multi-clients open on same pc)

    3. RAZOR option, Default Client Prioirty: HIGH (this seemed to be the magic ticket for me) when i changed this (and restarted all my clients) they seemed WAY more stable, i haven't DC'd yet actually (in about 5 hours) running 3 clients, compared to DC'ing every 10-15 minutes before randomly.

    So, 1, 2, 3, some combination of or all of the above might help people with disconnect errors. It does seem to be somewhat related to your internet connection - but also these client optimizations / firewall etc... my friend has no issue staying connected without these tweaks, but if you do have problems... yep, here is what worked for me.

    Hope this helps someone someday
