So yeah... F2P person here trying to make the most of what little premium time I can from recent events. So not only can I have the option of deciding when to activate it, I also can't get through faction play games without crashing. My system is a little old, but it's not the reason for the crashes. It's the game servers. Notably, when I crash mid match I frantically try to rejoin. To my surprise.. every time, I get back to a winning (sometimes losing) match and get no contract bonus or premium pay outs. And it's not like it's happening at the beginning everytime, mostly halfway through. So I'm doing like 400+ damage and don't get any reward for it. Roughly 100,000 C-bills. When full matches give 800,000ish C-bills for whinning or 250,000ish C-bills for losing (with premium time).

I understand this is designed to keep others from leaving and rejoining to somehow get large payouts with out contributing (but wouldn't damage work too?) but this to me as a F2P person is unacceptable. I'm doing the best I can with my system to make sure I don't drop connection, but if the server decides to fail then I have to be punished for it? Isn't that a little much?

This grind is getting a little old, and with out the ability to selected when I want to activate premium time and you all, piranha games, deciding that I can't get the most out a match through a server issues when I'm not at fault is really testing my patience.

Why should I pay real money if I can't get the most out it? I mean really. Would you all dump money into some thing that is unreliable?

Why can't you stay connected?

The FP servers are in NorthAmerica.. I assume you are Euro or Oceanic and are having routing troubles?

Complain to your ISP if so. Or just play quickplay to get the most out of your premium time.

The rest of us in the FP match aren't exactly thrilled about disconnects either. ;D

Umm.. I'm in north america. So...

So you like the losing out on your FP match bonuses?
I'm not referring to just disconnecting and still getting payed, no.
Just when you rejoin the game and then at the end you don't get the same payout. (ie contract bonus/premium bonus)

Sorry for any confusion.

this is naterists tip of the day. hit up support. theyre cooler then all heck. if you dont want to do that, make sure your connection is solid, and recheck if your comp is inside the min. specs for the game. i had your problem, totally thought it was pgi and not me, and when i hit up support the problem was a combo of bad connection, and what i thought was a correct gpu (or whatever it was, i totally forgot) was a rating too weak since the laptop equipment i used was bumped up a number to seem more powerful then i thought it was upon original sale. once i got a better comp and repostitioned my station to be closer to the router, it was way better.

What are video setting set too?

It needs to be FULLSCREEN WINDOWED. That stops the crashing for most people.
