Pgi has tonnage limits and the ability to rejoin after a disconnect coming. That should alleviate a lot of it

I would love to look at the server data to see if there is a noticeable correlation between Elo and weight class.

I'm not sure if tonnage or weight class is the "secondary consideration" after ELO is factored in.

Elo is per weight class and I don't think tonnage has anything to do with it.

I've dropped in a group of almost all lights/meds, couple of heavies and no Assaults vs a group with 1 light, 2 meds, the rest H/A..... it was a blast. We lost, something like 7-12 but listening to the other side whine about Light wolfpacks was sweet, sweet music

What I mean is that every player has 4 different Elo scores for each weight class (light, medium, heavy, assault). I would be interested to see if there is a disproportionate number of assaults and heavies in high Elo.

My guess is that there is higher ELO values for heavies+assaults (particularly those that are meta-heavy compliant) than mediums. Lights shouldn't be too bad as it probably would fall below heavy+assaults, but not by much.

I think the Shadowhawk has upped the ELO values a bit, considering how powerful it is... I'm not sure how close to lights they are though...

I downloaded the Public Test environment and immediately after that my production environment would not get through a single game without disconnecting. Even though Public Test supposedly uses no shared files with production.

I ran the repair tool and production stability increased but only to the extent of disconnecting 1 out of every 4 games instead of every game.

Someone suggested I reboot my router which I did and after that I was back to normal.

Pretty much every disconnect I'm generating is because MWO is simply the most unstable software out there.

This doesn't even begin to touch of the surface of my rage about this game's memory corruption.
