I disconnected out of match and couldn't get back in for the life of me. It says "Connection Error: Disconnected from Game Server". And yet all 4 of my mechs are still stuck in the match! For the next frickin' 20 minutes. Those are my best mechs (sob), plus, my poor team, what will they do without me?

Thing is, I've heard of this happening to quite a few people. Has anyone ever actually gotten back *into* a CW match once they've disconnected out?

[JadeTimberwolf]

What you describe has happened to me once, the other 3 times I disconnected for one reason or another while in CW I had been able to get back into the drop without issue, other than being down a Mech.

You need to have one of your CW mechs selected to rejoin.

I did. (I don't have very many mechs, hence the problem when they get stuck in CW )

[Kinski Orlawisch]

B4 the patch . Yes. I rejoin.
Since the patch..happened 3 times already..I rejoin to mechlab.

[Krivvan]

If rejoining from mechlab doesn't work then you need to go to the planet itself and click attack or defend. That starts you rejoining the match.

[UberStuka]

^^^ what he said sometimes the "rejoin" button is bugged so you have to select the faction tab / planet you were on to rejoin

[Kinski Orlawisch]

Oh Yes he starts to rejoin..No Problem..But I didn t end up in the game..I end up in the mechlab..as all 23 other Player from that game.

We had something similar happen like that during a recent drop. The server the game was hosted on crashed and the drop was inaccessible. Your 'mechs get locked in but you can not rejoin.

Generally though if the game crashes or you disconnect due to other reasons, you can rejoin CW matches no problem. You just might be dead when you get back in.

Only once did it lock me out when I settings- quit because my mech was frozen. For disconnects or.crashes I just select.any other planet.click attack.and it asks me.if.I.want.to rejoin. I have done this a dozen times.

[Prawfutt]

As Jeirhart said. I have been able to rejoin each time that I have been disconnected myself by clicking on the planet I was fighting on and attacking.

When you are not able to rejoin it is likely because game server disconnected (not just you personally) and there is no more game to rejoin to. which still means you are hosed out of your mechs for whatever amount of time was left in the match unfortunately.

Yes most of the time without problem I can re-join a CW match, but very occasionally I cannot and my CW mechs show as in use on a planet - obviously some sort of rare CW bug.

[ackstorm]

Worked for me every time.

[Strykewolf]

Got back in every time. Went to the faction page, clicked on the planet involved and just clicked attack/defend as appropriate. Pop-up asks if I want to rejoin, click yes...in.

[Ax2Grind]

60% of the time it works every time!

Seriously though, so far I have been able to rejoin every time.

[SPII025]

I came here looking for a fix for this since it's happening to me right now. I have gone to the planet and clicked "defend" and it says "you cannot take that mech since it is in another match." So I tried every planet being contested in case I had the wrong planet. Nope. No "do you want to rejoin" popup. Every time I hit rejoin in the mechlab it gives me the "disconnected from game server" pop up. Tried 12 times now going on 13.

[SPII025]

UPDATE: I was able to find, and join, and play a regular Skirmish match immediately after the last attempt at joining into a game.

Ofcourse, it dawned on me now, I used to do exactly that. Totally forgot to do it in the recent matches. Just clicking REJOIN in mechbay dosent help. Faction page -> Planet -> Rejoin is the way to go. Even then you might get the error though, but worth a shot.

First thing to do is to go to your mechlab. Not the faction area. Click on a mech in game. The option to rejoin should be available. Only if it is bugged do you want to try and see if the faction tab will let you rejoin.

Connection Error: Disconnected from Game Server.

Tried the various rejoin methods; can't rejoin; mechs are locked.
