Seen many of you in the games I've been disco'd in so far... I think twice I've DC'd for no reason that I can see. It is now 10:00pm PST and going back in for a few more rounds of DC Warrior Online

From what I could tell there was a peer flap happening that was impacting a fair amount of the traffic routed towards PGI's servers. Unfortunately I did not have any active traces running at the time of disconnects but I was on TS with a few others that were able to continue playing without issue. At the very least it was at the data center edge router, but most likely 1-2 hops away that this issue was happening.

My friends and I had several matches in a row like this, and then suddenly the problem went away. I really hope it's because somebody found the fix that quickly.

[ShinVector]

same here... got disconnected twice but the routing stablised about 30 mins later...

I keep using the same line to my TS buddies everytime this happens..
"Why is my zoom button not working ?"

DOH !!! I Disconnected !

[Caswallon]

Had a few of these last night as well. I was gonna put it down to the fact I'm on wireless then realised "doh" your still chatting on voice com you twit!

Definitely less stable since "Launch" guess it must be all these new players joining us (no offence if you are new here good to see you!)

Oh while were talking disconnects, I would like to claim a medal for me and my lance that refused to disconnect after drawing Terra Hell EIGHT times in a row on "Any" mode . Also this is not off topic as we and our foes were largely the SAME TEAMS each hideous time... SO many disconnects in those matches after the third time but I doubt they were from hardware fails..

You also have to remember, some of the disco's you see that aren't on your own technical side are malicious attempts to exploit the current system.

If you see the same people in a match joining and disconnecting seconds later, over and over again... it might not be technical, it might be them attempting to scam things. Stay watchful, and report any suspected abuse via Email to: support@mwomercs.com

At worse, they contact the person and find out it's a technical issue, and get the data they need to help solve it.

At best, we rid ourselves of exploiters.

So loads of Disco mechs with session lost since last patch

[Chief Tigris]

I played 2 matches with a newbie I'm trying to get into this game. And we both get disco'd. I can't log back in and stay logged in long enough to do anything at all. I've tried restarting equipment, and closing client.. This is a crappy way to showcase Mechwarrior online to a new player... He said he's done for tonight due to the latency.. Ouch.. And missed a chance to recruit... derp.

[Sarsaparilla Kid]

Had two matches last night with DC's...in one we lost 6 out of the 24, some on each team, and in the other match there were 2 on one side that only had 11 drop, so 9 v 12 turned into a quick, one-sided affair.

Keep in mind this was the first weekend since "launch", and typically you'd see the heaviest traffic at that time. I seem to recall another game that faced server-side growing pains, glitches and outages soon after its launch due to unexpected demand and popularity...World of Warcraft...and yet it went on to be one of the most popular MMOs out there. People forgave and forgot and had fun once they gave Blizzard a chance to fix things...it was nice of Blizzard to credit everyone's account with free play time, though, for the times they couldn't play due to server issues...<hint, hint>!

I"ve been having disconnects/Session Lost issues all day. First couple I wrote off as my Router/ISP being a PITA, but 5-6 in a Row? With one being while in Training Grounds?

I'd bet either Launch Traffic, or teh Internetz is borked somewhere.

Edit: A quick search suggests chunks of the internet are experiencing "issues".

Edit2: Happened again, ran repair tool, cleared it up. Apparently.

I am getting a lot of session lost and graphic freezes(sound still works)... I got a couple freezes while in beta, but I have gotten like quadruple the amount since launch patch than the entire amount I got all beta.

To add onto this... Last night I had a match where literally all but a couple of the enemy team disconnected while walking to our base, was very weird.

Probably related to this:

http://mwomercs.com/...-ping-problems/


Pings were starting to get horrible yesterday sometime around mid-day (euro-time). Didn't get discoed myself, but saw a lot of them while playing. Sometimes as many as 4 - 6 guys on a match.

My ping (and that of my squaddies from other Euro-countries) was almost triple of what we usually get and very unstable (also unusual for me). One of them had a pretty low ping (low 100s from Italy) but he was still warping all over the place.

Plus I couldn't group-drop with a squaddie, even though he could get online on his own just fine. His Mech wouldn't even appear in-game and then get locked into it and stay locked for around 5 minutes well after the match had ended.

Yeah.. from what I've read from other people who traced their routes, it seems that this is happening before our packets ever reach PGI. Would make sense, since even though pings were unusually high for a lot of players I saw, there were still plenty on who were getting 20s - 70s. If PGI and/or their ISP were the culprit, shouldn't we *all* be getting horrible pings, regardless of location and distance to the server?

Edit: Just did a visual trace using an online tool, and it seems I'm all over the place. Everything this side of the Atlantic is fine, but once I get to hop 7, Atlanta, GA, things go downhill. And according to this thing, my route is pretty weird as well. Instead of going through New York/Chicago/Toronto (where my tracert-test timed out), this time I'm getting routed through Arizona, then California, then back to Georgia, where the test timed out. Yet another visual traceroute tool showed my packet getting to Canada on the fifth hop, then going into the US, then back to Canada, then back into the US where it finally timed out.

Weird...

Maybe the NSA is screwing around with the cables again. Who knows...

AGREED!

Sent a report up last night of a Notorious ( I have witnessed his stunt 4-5 times personally now) Disconnector. I shan't say what he does here lest I fall foul of the "revealing an exploit" clause in the T&C; But this ugly fellow has found a way to use Disconning to grief the opposing side if they lose. Thats bad show any way you cut it.

[Skullraze]

Just had my second "session was lost" today.

[DragonsFire]

For anyone that's having a disconnect or ping issue, please try and run a traceroute from you to the server and post it here. It would be helpful in establishing where the issues lies (ie a common border router that everyone goes through).

[Matthew Craig]

We're investigating and we'll post more as and when we know more about what caused this.

[Mindwyrm]

Wonder if the disconnects you all are seeing is the other end of the CTD people are reporting in
Crash & Stability Feedback - 1.2.242 thread.

[TheAtomiser]

This has been happening with me and my friends recently. Random-out-of-nowhere disconnects.

[Svidro]

Yep, disconnecting multiple times tonight. If it's server load, that's kinda nice that we actually have a population. Too bad we won't be able to keep it though, with issues like this.
