Looking at a packet capture from my client, it appears that the client tries to connect to the license server, which does not respond.

Same behavior on both Beta and release client.

No AV installed, No firewall, Fresh install of Win 8.1.

So here is the issue ... the DB client is reaching out to 37.187.151.148 on port 5031...

......5net.tcp://eu3.auth.buddyauth.com:5031/AuthService.svc...

GeoIP has this located in France. (First problem... French ISPs suck hardcore) It looks like the client is sending a 66 byte packet and getting no response.

Traceroute shows massive latency between vac3-3-n7.qc.ca.arbor [198.27.73.58] and ns431530.ip-37-187-151.eu [37.187.151.148]

Ok.... looks like you guys are using Arbor as your DDOS solution. Well, they maybe dropping my auth packets. Tell those fools to fix their shit.

Hey Joe - the fools at OVH at least keep our services up, we are under massive DDoS on our whole infrastructure since WoD came out.

I have no idea why and who, but it is there since weeks now.

I would code in a couple of retries into the auth routine or maybe an alternate routine that uses an authentication hash/cookie that requires no active re-key or re-auth.

Arbor Peakflow SP is the product that these DDOS providers use. The best provider IMO is Prolexic (owned by Akamai who has a huge global presents).
