3 DC's from 7 Games. Ping is constant. Not spiking or anything unusual. Not doing anything unusual in game either. How about halving the required scores for this Takeover event?

[ToeFuNinja]

For me, about every other game is a disconnect with out a possible reconnect.

Im kicking a 266 ping from the East Coast to the Oceanic servers. Which I would suppose is within the limits.

I'm guessing that the 30 games that crashed that PGI is talking about... those 30 games... had 24 people in them that all just independently crashed... thus making the whole game crash.... with so many disconnections going on, there is bounded to be 30 games or so where everyone was screwed.

Getting dropped over and over today. It was bad yesterday but this morning is really bad. I hope you will extend this challenge or start it back up after you resolve the problem.

[MacKJames]

I'm not only having an issue with getting dropped without the ability to rejoin but also this game seems to be crashing far more often.

Apologies for the server frustrations over the weekend everyone. I can assure you that the engineering team were working through the weekend to resolve these problems.
I've updated the original post with the information below.

The engineers performed some work over the weekend in an effort to resolve the Oceanic server issues, but disconnections and general instability are still effecting the Oceanic servers as of this morning. The server crashes highlighted in the original post were a side effect of a greater issue that is currently being investigated.
While we are working with our hosting and server partners to resolve the ongoing issues, the Oceanic servers will remain active.
As a result of these problems, the Oceanic Takeover event will be extended until further notice.

Thanks for the update. We'll keep playing to provide data points...

Awesome! I'm getting close to getting some flags, but wasn't sure if I'd have time to get them.

The double XP has been nice too.


I get DCed maybe once every 5 games. But only once was it just me. Every other time I've been DCed, so has everyone else on my team.

Some of the interesting odd things I've seen on the Oceanic servers:

- Had a friendly Thunderbolt just appear in front of me on Frozen City. I was headed for a gap between buildings when he just popped into existence there facing me. He looked around and then ran off. No one else was even close to me, I just about shot him by accident.
- Had a mech collision where I teleported around the map for about 5 seconds and took a lot of damage from it. Was the longest collision/teleport that I've run into so far.
- Blocked an enemy who was backing up while shooting at my team, and somehow he cored my front CT. (must be those back mounted weapons ) Had something similar happen once a year ago when a friendly killed me while I was a few steps behind him and he was facing away from me shooting.


Certainly keeps it interesting.

[Phadrus Corpus]

now I've got a Mech stuck in a never ending match that crashed, won't let me rejoin, and won't let me move on; LOL GREAT!

[Phadrus Corpus]

and AGAIN! When this challenge is over I'm never playing Oceanic again!

[The Unstoppable Puggernaut]

I know it's frustrating. At least there is an extension on this challenge.

Can something be done about the dreaded ping too?

This is worse than dial up speeds.

Only YOU and your ISP can do something against a ping too high !

You need a route to the Oceanic server with less HOPS and/or less LAG ... check it with TRACERT or other network tools.

dunno if someone has mentioned it. The kick from game, exactly like on oceanic, and inability to return, appeared on NA server long time ago. Its somthing in the game.

[Heavenly war]

Glad something has been worked on all weekend, but the Oceanic Server should have definitely waited a good month or so longer before it was setup. You just released the Euro server and could hardly keep up with that first and work out the kinks, so why put yourselves in deeper water and over your heads with the Oceanic almost a week or 2 after?

Should have waited to get more statistics and more solid information to upkeep and maintain these servers. Oceanic ping is also ridiculous. shouldn't be at a constant 250 for everyone in the world. Hell, i shouldn't have 150 for euro either...but that's another story.

[Knight2416]

Thanks PGI for extending the Comp, I had 8 out of 30 matches, lock up and most common was River City.

I remember this issue, at the time my unit thought it was us as all in the AU/NZ zones with 220 ping or higher.

Question PGI: why did you
a) not public test the oceania server?
not plan that running the Comp on NA/EU servers for a week then trying to add oceania server on its own would flood the oceania with players who got flags on the other 2 servers and would not normally use this one?

Still we AU/NZ players thank you for the server as finally our Hit reg works.

Thats what AU/NZ have had for ping from day one, we get 100-170 on oceania server so we happy. Welcome to our world.

Remember that time they set up a European test server, invited the community to take it for a spin and provide data/feedback, and nobody ever used it? I'm sure PGI does

[Belorion]

I am not sure what the status is, but the only time I have experienced these crashes is when I take a Panther. Every time I take a Panther, and never when I bring something else. Could be complete coincidence, but who knows.

[Ultor Akier]

[MannishBoy]

Just had another round where my team wins, I get the scoreboard and results screens, disconnect normally, yet my mech is stuck in rejoin and I won't get credit for the match. That's the worst. Bad enough to lose connection mid match, but that's all for nothing now as far as the event goes.

EDIT: I may have actually gotten credit that time. Previously when that happened, I didn't.

2 games, 2 disconnects with Oceanic at 8:45 and 9:20. Both times with the reward CN9-AH. One disconnected before I even dropped, the other disconnected when I was halfway through awesome match on Crimson with cool brawl under the carpark. I had mech and ammo left and fight was going hard
