Everything was working perfectly until the latest patch. Now when I portal recall or portal anywhere, I get redlinked. Is anyone else having this issue or know a fix for it. I have tested all plugins and filters, it happens even with just Decal on and all plugins off. I can play fine with decal off.


Firewall, ports, ips are all set correctly. I have reinstalled AC, and Decal already.

try with No Filters and No Plugins.


If that works, then start enabling the Filters one at a time


Keep going until all Filters are enabled, then move to Plugins.


The last thing you enabled would most likely be your problem. Try disabling everything except that one thing and see if it still causes a problem. If so, report it as it is causing issues.

Already tried that, couldn't even get ingame with out the filters on, was able to get in with just the AC CORE filter on, but couldn't with it off. Would just stay in portal space till it red linked out. I then tried with the core on and one by one turned the others on(so only ac core and 1 filter was on at a time), but same thing, i would redlink out.

That makes no sense at all.


There is nothing in the ACDC Core Filter that would assist or deter you being able to get ingame.


I think you've got symptoms of another problem. Likely network related.


It sounds way too random and not tested enough to draw conclusions about what does and what does not work

I thought it was network related at first, but everything worked fine until the patch on tuesday. But I will check again on ports, ip addresses to make sure. I have not had any problems though with decal turned off.


I did change the same day to a netgear router, but made sure all my settings were correct. I use to have a belkin, but had problems with stability.


Since putting in the netgear, the bot stays in fine, it is when i recall him to the house, marketplace, or anywhere else I get booted.

Wait... you changed your router on the same day as patch day, and now that your AC doesn't exactly work right, you assume it is Decal related?

Since my bot is able to stay online, without being booted since patch, I am assuming that the router is working fine. The only time any of my chars get redlinked is when I recall somewhere. Could the router being causing this?

It's possible that a router/network issue could cause that.


It is also possible that a corrupt cell.dat could cause that.


Perhaps you want to try renaming your current client_cell.dat file and let AC build a new one.

I can try that, but it is happening to 3 different machines, that is why I ruled that out. I can put the old router back in, and test things tonight, if it doesn't redlink then I know it is a router issue, if it does redlink I will keep plugging away till I find the issue.

These are all facts that would have been nice to know in your initial post.


If you get the same issue on 3 PCs then chances are almost certain (95%) that your issues are network related and most likely related to you changing your router. Decal alone would not cause this kind of problem across 3 different machines.
