Constant 279 errors when teleporting or joining places

Since a few days now, I’ve unexpectedly been getting an uptick of “code 279” errors, this can happen any way from simply joining a game to teleporting within a game’s universes. There is seemingly no consistency that I can find about the phenomenon, be it in how the error is triggered nor what games can trigger this.

Additionally, pressing “retry” doesn’t do anything, it just silently fails (per the log).

Steps I’ve taken to try and fix the issue:

  • Reinstalling the client: didn’t work
  • Purging any and all client files (appdata, temp, local…); didn’t work

Expected behavior

Client should be able to join a game or teleport within an universe without experiencing an error 279 and a silent failure (when clicking “retry”).

I am having a similar issue (see here). Can you by chance check if all your client logs also have the same DatacenterId trend?

Also seeing 279 error kicks with my lobby → round place flow. Super annoying..
