I'm posting this on behalf of a friend (for obvious reasons):

"Since yesterday I've been facing troubles to connect to Vendetta. Neither VO.com nor the game itself is accessible: Page loading timeouts and the updater just says "Disconnected" after a few minutes.
Anyone having the same issues or is it just me?"

Some other friends, who happen to be in Europe, are having similar issues. As of 17:10 GMT 18 Dec, there still seems to be a problem.

Have you:
1) try changing the MTU in the network options of the game (to "compatibility mode"),
2) try bypassing a router if present,
3) ping majikthise.guildsoftware.com,
4) tracepath majikthise.guildsoftware.com,

5) Let us know the results of 3 & 4 and how 1 & 2 affect your friend's situation.

I keep dropping from the game every couple of hours. No other connections get interrupted when that happens.

The site sometimes responds with service unavailable too.

exactly same problem here.
no, i didn't change anything.

Hm, seems fine from the UK . ( BTinternet )

Fine in Atlantic Canada...
