so as always i am DC'ed in the middle of the fight, i can still hear on Comms what people are doing and when i try and reconnect i get empty drop (pictured) have to restart the whole game to enter game at the expense of a penality

[Prototelis]

It sounds like your game is crashing, rather than just being disconnected.

Do you play full screen mode?

[Derek_Wildstar]

windowed mode

i got DCed again next game now my penality is up to 2 minutes for DCing ..

[Prototelis]

Thats weird dude, I'm sure someone else will chime in with some ideas.

I play on cell internet, and my computer is about 10 years old now. I7 990X, 8gb ram, GTX 480. I only get disconnected if my cell phone overheats while tethered, crash once maybe every 200 games or so.

Not bragging on that by any means, but I don't know many people with worse setups than mine.

people wanna blam LRMs/ATMs but there are times when i go days with no issues so it's not that. either way people shouldn't be punished for Clients issues ..

Anyway,
- try to close the game completely before reconnect.
- run memory test (i.e. Memtest64) - sometime you can get all sort of weird behavior when one of memory banks are faulting.
- check your CPU is not overheating, i.e run some utility that displays CPU temp on screen and pay attention to it when the game crashes.

Once i had the same problem over a long time.

If you have this empty lobby after relogin, log out & in again, then you can rejoin the match.

I figured out that MWO is very sensitive to small interruptions in Internet connection.

So i have Internet over my power line connection. There are sometimes small interruptions and MWO disconnects. Then i put out the cable and put it in again and the problem is solved. (New connection with router is established)

Also try to minimize all application usage which are affecting internet while you play MWO. I still have standalone client and i close steam when i play MWO and that helps a lot.

Hope i could help you.

Upgrade your PC, internet, w/e. Stop dropping and making 11 other people have to be at a disadvantage for 25 minutes...

Getting rid of DC penalties is not a very good solution imo.

Most players are not having the problems that you're describing here.

[Nightbird]

The penalty is there to get you to fix your PC+networking, working as intended?

i have no issues but with this game all my other online games run flawlessly. my rig is a i7-3770 with 16GB memory, 2x7950 in xfire don't think my machine is the issue with speed or video , it's water cooled so heat isn't a factor. i run a AC2100 router so plenty of bandwidth ..

pretty sure my PC is alot better then most here i run 100MB internet which i am sure should be more then sufficient to run this game.

I don't have any issues whatsoever with this game, no DCing, no crashes, etc, so it's something on your end. Some games stress the PC out more or in different ways than others, cryengine has historically exposed more instability in the hardware than others but it could also be software. If your DC happens without MWO crashing, it could also be your network card/modem overheating.

but none of my other devices/computers lag or DC and the comms are still connected even after i been completely booted out back to login (which tells me i am still connected to the VOIP server without issue, if it was my network both should cut out) .. don't think my network is the problem . it only happens with this game. none of my other ONLINE games do i have a issue.

[Nightbird]

Sounds like a network hardware issue then. When a networking component overheats, it does a self-reboot and fixes the issue. The reboot is fast enough to keep you from timing out of VOIP connections but not MWO.

(because the timeout limit is set lower than other games)

negitive.. cause i have used multiple PCIe cards and disabled my onboard does it does the same thing, switched out my modem and router and didn't change anything either. before you try and tell me about issues.. i am A+ and Net+ certified have been for over 20 years.. i pretty confidence my computer is not the cause ...

Then you have a **** ISP, my condolences

[Xannatharr]

Maybe try a VPN, hope you don't catch a ban

Wait... this isnt SOE/DayBreakGames , is it ?

[Nightbird]

How does a VPN help with a disconnect?
