Hmm. Just how fast do they want? ![]()
Switch to OFFLINE and back to ONLINE, and of course it works fine.
But why this hassle? Anyone else?
More of an issue on their end than your connection, I would imagine,
@anon44786522 …or perhaps the isp? A busy Saturday night on the packet switchers / routers, perhaps. Lots of on-line shoppers still looking for bargains or watching movies. A bunch of packets headed from FS2020 servers to @SIedDriver gets dropped (or fragmented) - FS2020 complains ![]()
Pure speculation here - I have no idea how FS2020 handles issues caused by network latency, packet loss or fragmentation.

Not gonna be that. It’s 4:24am here in London.
and I am on a European server.
Ahh, my bad, assuming everyone lives in the USA. Should know better.
It has nothing to do with the connection.
The server that you’re connected to might be borked or crashed or being restarted.
I thought MS had fault tolerant server platforms with automatic failover, high availability, etc etc.
At least they did when I worked as an MS IT consultant for years.
So they must have just given us the cheapo solution.
Servers going offline is so 1990s.
Where has this new word borked suddenly come from? I know of it and what it means but it’s become heavily used on here. Haven’t seen that anywhere else.
I’ve known that word for years. I think it’s mainly used by computer techies.
There is another possibilty, that the message does not mean that there is an actual internet connection, but instead, the game is reporting what it has been told is the result of an internet disconnect, as a disconnection.
Etymology 1
A reference to the unsuccessful 1987 United States Supreme Court nomination of Robert Bork (1927–2012);[1] first appeared in print that same year.
Verb
bork (third-person singular simple present borks, present participle borking, simple past and past participle borked)
- (transitive, intransitive, US politics, often derogatory) To defeat a person’s appointment or election, judicial nomination, etc., through a concerted attack on the person’s character, background, and philosophy. [from 1987]
- [1987 December 10, Kenneth H. Taylor, “[Voice of the People:] New verb”, in The San Bernardino County Sun, page 11, columns 3–4:
In light of the current furor over trying to appoint a new Supreme Court justice, I would like to submit a new verb in the English language. Three forms would be “to bork,” “borking,” and “borked.” This would describe the act of partisan political character assassination.]
It goes on a lot more, and there are other etymologies listed, but this seems the strongest proposition.
Here in Germany my ISP does all it’s servicing between 4am and 6am every day even weekends. It can be seamless but mostly there’s at least one hiccup.
