this time game crashed within 90 seconds of game start. Took 4 mins to get mechlab to reconnect and then the rejoin function finally gets back into the match and i'm dead. such joy.

seriously what a pointless function. Since the patch the game is heaps more buggy. Rather than a rejoin function, how about just making some of the basic bugs that have been since closed beta given a fix so the client is just more stable would seem a better option.

that's what happened when I rejoined the game:

Works well, but giving us another minute to connect and still get XP/C-Bills would be nice, had to reboot and didn't make it back in time.

Tried rejoining my game after I quit because everyone appeared to be walking in place...attempted it 10 times only to be "Disconnected from game server" and back to the mech lab over and over again.

Was disconnected with the Fread 0 from 128 bug. Managed to reconnect (first time in 8 previous attempts), but had no HUD.

I ended up joining a group of mechs. They didn't shoot me, so thankfully my team. I shot where they shot. End result: 3 Team kills. Must not have been my team.

Actually, the last two sentences are bunk.

Reconnect didn´t work for me even once.

I can load the map but as soon as that is done i find myself in Mechlab and get the pop-up "Disconnected from game server".


I would love "rejoin" and hope you guys fix it as soon as possible.

2 days ago i lagged out of a game, disconnected to mechlab, hit rejoin and loaded back in - unfortunately by that time i was already shot dead but the rejoining worked fine for me.
Had a few games in the last days were one pilot disconnected at the start of the match but came back in and was able to join the fight without any problems.

So far, i like it very much. Maybe it´s still a little buggy in some cases but definitely a very useful feature.

"Disconnected from game server" and back to the mech lab over and over again. "

...Yep, exactly the same for me. Rejoin attempted after memory alloaction error, and so far has not worked at all

[QuaxDerBruchpilot]

Doesn't work for me. When hitting the rejoin button, I first see the "match preview screen", it then tells me "connecting", then I end up with a black screen.

[Finring]

Yet to get it to work for me. I just get kicked back to the mech lab every time.

[Joe Marberg]

I have not managed to rejoin at all. Ever. But as far as I know it doesn't do anything about CryEngine on launch crashes so I don't know what other purpose this button serves. Seems to be the false hope button and I'm just ignoring it now since it doesn't seem to do anything.

[EvilCow]

Kicked back to mechlab while rejoining, in tourmaline. My mech was still there, my team mates confirmed that. Worked well in other occasions.

The interesting thing is that if it fails then it continue to fail no matter how may attempts you do.

I've successfully rejoined a couple times, but got this yesterday. Crashed and needed to restart the client, couldn't connect.

It would be nice to change up the message if the 2 minute timer has expired and you won't be able to reconnect, rather than simply kicking you back to mechlab simply saying 'disconnected from game server'

[Fiona Marshe]

Game crashed to desktop instantly during a private match. managed to reconnect.

At the end of the game, it got stuck in a perpetual "Loading" screen and I had to manually kill the game and reboot again.

[Icewraith]

Got stuck in "Disconnected from Game Server" loop that kept dropping me back in mechlab. Super frustrating.

[Flying Fox 333]

Haven't had to rejoin yet thankfully. However I am starting to see it abused from time to time. Here is one of the notable examples:

I was playing a match this week where only two members of our side were left and the enemy had one apparent disconnect left. We had a legged Kitfox and red CT Summoner left, with only a single C-SRM6 between them. The Summoner decided to hunt down the disconnect to finish the game, after we all told him not to go over there, the mech came back to life as he approached. It was a lightly damaged Atlas. Luckily he got the message and escaped successfully. Since the Atlas couldn't give chase after a while, he disconnected again to wait for his friends who were presumably spectating, to let him know when to rejoin, as we were in the group queue.

Suffice to say this sort of behaviour is not really in the spirit of which the game should be played. We used to call this behaviour "ghosting" in DayZ for those who want a way to describe it. I'd be interested if anybody has had similar stories, because PGI should be made aware of this kind of behaviour. I would also like it if they could update their official rules to make it clear it isn't acceptable, if used this way.

[Serpentbane]

The times I've tried I get a disconected from server error message. The connection starts, the image of the maps shows, then I drop back to mechbay.

[Styxx42]

I disconnected and game crashed.
I was under enemy fire via LRM/s

I fired the game back up rejoined and was only lightly damaged. I am guessing I went shut down when I disconnected.
THAT WAS SWEET.
We still lost but It was a great experience.
Thanks

[Beaching Betty]

Please remove this feature. This is the MAIN cause of all the problesm we get, moonwalking mech, freezes, crashes. and it is killing the fun out of the game, k thx.

When one is disco for over 2 mins, his "reconnect" should not be possible when his team is dead. Period. Else we just are waiting up to 10 minutes for this player to be found and destroyed.
It's not once every 20 games we get that, it's more like once every 3 games.
And that's an incredible total waste of time.
12 men waisting 5 mins, that's 1h lost every 3 match, that's 1h lost every 45 minutes. And I feel I am being fair with numbers here.That obviously was planned to "fix" things (too many disco / unbalance from disco), but the way you made it is making the game way less enjoyable.

Fix it ! STOP WASTING OUR TIME !

Would you be as kind as to fill as a bug report regarding this feature, and let us know it has been acknowledged as an emergency ?
