Switching mechs in the mech lab is slow. Loading back into the front end, after a match is slow. Loading the website and forums is slow. I'm experiencing it. Streamers are experiencing it. US players are complaining in the Patch Feedback forum. Euro players are complaining in the Patch Feedback forum. It's really clearly your database server choking.

Come on, PGI.... You've run a multiplayer game since 2012. You have learned something about network infrastructure along the way, right?

You must be puffing the magic dragon if you think they don't know about it already. Russ has been tweeting about it since yesterday, saying they see our reports and are looking for a cause.

They don't own the server farm, ya know .

I think there are just more people online that were expected. We wont hear anything back before Monday, classic PGI, break something on Friday then leave for the weekend.

I have been disconnecting at the match lobby loading screen in about half the FP matches I try to join for the past week.

Tonight it's 100%. And it also takes 7 minutes to rejoin the match. After that there's the notice on the match score screen saying no rewards are given if you rejoin after more than 2 minutes... punishment for being disconnected from PGI's server.

So I have quit playing for the day.

I hope PGI fix it soon so I can continue to contribute to Tukayyid 3.

Yes to many players, the hamster cant keep up.

PGI's potato servers are super slow today. My favorite is that I get a penalty when their crappy game crashes or disconnects me.

[Johnny Z]

Taking a break as well.

[Mechammer555]

Worst I have ever seen it. I have DC'd 7 times in the last 3 matches today.
That is more than the total number of DC's I have had in 2 years of playing.
I am also sick of being penalized for "leaving the match" early!
I guess I am going to go play Fallout now...

The hamsters name is Hamster.

You would think they could figure out how to not have this happen, you know because they are a company that runs an online mmo.. but apparently not. Are they going to add extra time for people whom have been booted from the game during matches and got the penalty, or made it so bad to play in game you are essentially a rubber banding duck. Look guys huge event, now have fun looking at loading screens and disconnect messages. How do they screw this up this bad. Oh, and it's sunday, so have fun sucking snot until Monday.

That blue smoke was my c-bills, GXP, and MC disappearing. Not to mention my unit, title, and PSR. I also have 85 mechs and 0 mechbays. Friends list is down to 6.



At least i'm back in tier 5 where i belong

Where is that meme pic with burning buildings and people running away with the tagline "everything is alright"?

That is currently the situation.

Also, the two tin cans (and a string) used for an Internet connection was previously used for beer pong in the office.

Weird. I had 2 scouting matches where none of the 4 I.S. pilots connected. 2 wins, 7 days premium time.

Maybe it's a conspiracy against I.S. pilots

Did pgi pawn 50% of the servers from their peak two years ago?

Sure they did, amount of players using the Steam client averages at 1k. Steam numbers are almost double now (have been during whole EU primetime). But of course, PGI didn't account for massive rewards drawing in lots of additional players, so they left the servers at their regular toaster level.
