I think PTS just died for me. Played 2 Assault matches about 45 mins ago, then the conflict cycle ended, and restarted with a new 8 hour cycle. However I kept getting "failed to find a match". I logged off and relogged in but now it keeps telling me failure to find account data, happening right now as I type this. Tried 3 times all 3 times failure to find account data.

[whatever it takes]

Yeah, i guess it died fo everyone. Died for me like 15-20 mins ago, i hope it will get fixed soon..

[Skippy The Danger Squirrel]

Yup, it died for me too. I suppose I'll go be productive and mow the lawn or something while we wait for the 8086 that's hosting the game to spool back up. It takes a while to load into RAM from a 5.25" floppy and deliver game content over a 2400 baud modem...

Well, Paul said to expect trouble during phase changeover

[FRAGTAST1C]

Given how many Error 63 I alone have encountered in the space of 90 mins and having played only 1 match, I think this event, if it's meant to be an event, could be extended to another 2 days or maybe 3.....

[Skippy The Danger Squirrel]

The server is back up! Yea! No mowing the lawn for me!

[Mech2C]

yeah .. no error 63 ;-)

Btw:

Beep beep is gone when you deactivate frontend sounds in settings.

Kudos to all who are posting constructive feedback. We all know it's been quite a while since FP has had much attention. Here's to hoping that this is the start of ongoing improvement!!

Disconnected in a match, no reconnect option.

Actually, there is one... it is very logically & obviously placed under the... QUICK PLAY BUTTON

Is there any way to track whether or not we've completed the 4 mission requirement? I had two games disconnect and I'm not sure I got the minimum match score...

As far as we know, no.

So I got 3 4 scouting games in, then I looked at the events tab and saw that there was no active event, will I still get the PTR reward in this case?

Yes

Ok, so I was not involved in any of the early-on discussions about what the Faction Play changes could be, or prioritizing of them. I do have my PTS updated and might try to participate in a few drops, but Real Life time takes priority over game time unfortunately.

Regardless, as a technology engineer with 23+ years of experience behind me, I would think the best way for moving things forward would be to:

1. Take in all proposals, both internally and from the community.

2. Assess proposals for feasibility, work-effort, and return-on-investment (player enjoyment).

3. Discard unfeasible proposals, set aside excessively-time-consuming proposals (work-effort) for the later stages of implementation.

4. Prioritize remaining proposals based on ease-of-implementation and return-on-investment (player enjoyment), while considering any proposal inter-dependencies, to maximize positive impact for the game and the players.

5. Implement changes only one-at-a-time, scientifically, to avoid breaking things unexpectedly.

Doing things that way you achieve your main goals of (1) Improving the Faction Play experience over time, and (2) Improving the player experience over time.

And, if I might be so bold as to suggest, the first priority should be...

I know. It's so ingenious it's beautiful. You have to click Quick Play and a dropdown appears. There you can find your active matches. Click the FP one and Rejoin.

I managed to rejoin a PTS match yesterday using this method, after several minutes of pure fury... I mean, of searching for the respective button.
