About every battle I get into someone disconnects. I having the same problem where I get in a match and I get booted from the game. Many times is when I'm running around or about to cap a base. Anybody having the same problem and any ideas why this is going on. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? I doubt the people are quitting from the game, but the game is just kicking them.

Check your crash dumps for clues about why you're disconnencting.

How do I check "crash dumps"? I'm having the same problem since the latest patch. Before maybe 1 in 10 matches it would freeze up, now it seems it's every 2 out of 3 matches. Not playable...

Somewhere in your game folder. I believe under users, but otherwise possibly in the actual game folder.

Typically this file is over 400 megabytes and is called something along the lines of crashdump.dump

This file can be opened partially with notepad. I haven't had a crash in ages, so yeah..

I too have been experiencing this, I ran very stable until the last patch. I will also attempt to check my crash dumps.

Mine has been referencing graphical glitches:

I am curious as to what you are seeing [color="#b27204"]277787[/color].

Hm. Clearly that's an easier method. With the omicron name and such I never thought to look at them. I've just looked at the dump file I found at one point -- admittedly long after the fact, and found numerous references to errors.

Welp, there we have it.

LogBackup, sort by date, and take a peek.
