I started getting a bad connection symbol (red chain) logged off and then logged back on to find my character was on the coast and gearless.

i was running with a group of 5, 3 others were experience the same latency issue, they also lost their gear and had to start all over. issue seems to be latency related.

Adjusting the Game's Gamma can slightly help fix this. But overall when your character is healthy it seems to never go away once it starts to set in. I've even tried restarting and changing servers

Also im running windows 7 other wise settings are similar
