0x20010006 possible fix after trying everything else

[raijin904]

From the time I started playing online on PC I got disconnected multiple times an hour, tried everything from setting some different DNS, port forwarding, changing routers, and a bunch of other things that I found in other forum posts. I finally came across a post about using a VPN so I tried that and boom, haven't disconnected since and I have played a few hours every night for the past few days. The one mentioned in the post was Proton VPN which is completely free so if your having constant disconnects give it a try, hope it helps.

No. I'm on VPN and I still get these from time to time.

 

I'm fairly certain these intermittent disconnects has to do with Rockstar's decision to go with p2p instead of dedicated servers.

One of the members here mentioned that it probably has to do with the current "server" (player and/or players) bandwidth and/or ping.

 

I concur, but of course, I might be wrong.

Yeah the servers are a mess, Not really sure why the VPN fixed it for me but it did I haven't disconnected since I started using it

Got that error multiple times most often when lobbies merges! Other than that not so often!

I also had this problem, couldnt play more than 2 minutes. Got a VPN and things improved drasticly. But occasionally i still get disconnects. I noticed that it mostly happen when lobbies have more than 20 players.... Less players the more stable my connection becomes...

^^ Another good reason for R* to get off their tired, dead agenda and reduce max players in a session to 20 (or less).

I rather see them trying to fix the issue than reducing players, if possible, but if its the only way, then sure... 

 

Btw, anyone ever seen a lobby with more than 23 players? I never experienxed  a full 32 player lobby, most i have seen is 23,,,,,maybe they already reduced the player count without telling us?

^^ Well, like someone else noted earlier, R* needs to set player count to 20 (or less) while they work on fixing this issue--if such a thing is possible. They need to stop using us as alpha testers for code that should have been resolved and working by now.

 

BTW, the biggest session I've ever been in is 24 (on the PC)--can't remember what max size I had on the PS4.

 

Smallest session size I've seen so far on the PC is 12--just last night--and oh my, the difference was HUGE in animal spawns and especially random encounters. It actually worked like it should (still lots of bugs, but those two things suddenly worked well).

The largest (on PC also) I've seen was 28, normally it's 22-24.

I've been alone only once, after exiting a poker game in St. Denis well after midnight Atlantic time, and I was going to bed, so it did me no good.

I've seen a 10 player session once early one Sunday morning, and the critters were stumbling over each other...that lasted maybe 5 minutes, then it was 24 players and I had to go to another region too hunt.

It seems every time I call my hunting wagon out...

 

18 players in a great number.
