Dropped in one match last night which was a fun Incursion on River City, re-queued and sat for 5 minutes so I shut the game off.

Also can't recall the last server maintenance unless they did that with the last patch, seem to recall there being maintenance in-between patches.

Cant say Ive had any issues, but at least one person disconnected in every match I played this morning.

[CherokeeRose187]

First time?

LOL

I play with a cell phone hot spot in a forest valley, on the far side of a mountain from the closest cell tower, 15 miles away. I get one bar if I set my phone in the perfect spot on my couch, my ping is about 200 on a good night, and it randomly goes to 700 if a squirrel walks by. If someone walks by my phone my ping goes to 1600 then disconnects. Or sometimes it goes to 700 and disconnects mid match for no apparent reason. I'd guestimate at least 1 in 10 matches I get either a disconnect or random ping issues. Not PGIs fault.

I can't even play right now because the cell phone gods decided to not give me ping tonight so I'm running on geosyncronous satellite just to get internet at all, which would give me1000-3000 ping, if PGI would even let me connect like that anymore. I was T2 yesterday, but after having random d/c's and randomly dropping to 600 ping all day yesterday, and randomly all week, I'm down to T3 once again.

But I'm not going to cry about it like a whiny little female dog in heat. It's a handicap, but I'm handicapable.

First world problems and all that, I'll work my way back up to T2 eventually when I get a night with a good connection.

I'd still rather live in the woods in BFE than in a city and have to put up with... people.

I've thought about starlink, but I'd have to build a tower in a tree to get line of sight.

Just finished a match on Rubellite. Right as the last Red gets killed, disconnected before scoreboard pops up. Earlier a Blue Fafnir got DC'ed. No idea if same cause, but I have had DC issues so rarely that the recent spate of them I've been having is concerning.

Gonna do the usual DNS stuff and check some other things but this is spooky. Been DCed in Mechlab, even.

What do you expect when PGI goes out buys blade servers from BestBuy made in China and makes their own inhouse server setup DUH been that way for years now. If the servers where on a top-of-the-line USA servers it would make a huge difference I tried playing on Oceanic once it was lagggggggggggy and crazy even US/EU servers laggggggggg from client to server's packet loss is insane in MWO.

[Meep Meep]

I'm getting bad lag or even booted when I am in an EU match. I guess the hop across the pond is unstable.

Yeah, actually.

Sorry about your choice in locales and misanthropy, hope that gets better! Must be terrible to hate yourself enough that you hide from the world and tell yourself it's because you're actually just better than them.

I'm happy where I'm at, glad to have crappy internet in exchange for being able to walk outside and breath clean air, fire my gun off the porch without cops showing up, and be able to hear a car driving down the road from 4 miles away.

Cities are overrated.

People live out here because we want to be left alone. I don't even know where a key is for my front door, my car keys stay in the ignition, doors unlocked. Apparently nobody is dumb enough to try and break into a rural home and steal anything... just be cause there is a chance someone might be home to help them take the room temperature challenge.

My lag for USA matches is about what most USA people have for Euro and Pacific matches.

[PocketYoda]

I find if i drop to soon it tells me i left the match to early and i get a warning.. even though i was dead.

Maybe an Aussie server thing i dunno.. so i tend to hang around now for my cbills.

[Solitary Jerk]

The disconnects are getting terrible. Try and join any match and I get a black screen and then penalized? what the heck PGI?

[Obelix drives an Atlas]

happens to me a lot, too.

2+ years ago when I played this *cough* often, I had no issues. a disco once in a blue moon.
now, with the SAME machine, only a faster cpu and gpu, I get a disco about every 5-7th match.

..which is bad, but manageable in QP; except those times a lightpilot eats your as$ before you reconnect.


on a related note:
logging in after crash/disco takes FOREVER (on a good ssd, with everything else (ram, cpu, gpu) at the PLENTY level).
other games don't take so awfully long.
they REALLY should speed up the login-process, especially as it is punishing in mwo to lose 1-2minutes for this crepes

Ive NEVER had a disconnect and just had one in a match and another before a match started and I cant even rejoin because it just automatically drops. Picked a different mech and had a penalty for abandoning. Maybe the new hamster isn't up to par yet? Must be a new one from when the site went down the other day.

[Luckless Horn]

I'm really struggling to stay connected today. I got disconnected 30 seconds into my first match, and now on my third match I can't connect at all, just get a black screen each time I try to reconnect and then about a minute later get a popup saying I was disconnected from the game server.

[Mark Yore]

Just finished a game with 10 disconnects on our side and 10 on the enemy.

Worst of all someone selected Conquest as the game type.

Last night was almost as bad - game style quickly turned into lights running to the other spawn and shooting all the disconnected mechs.

[Mark Yore]

Hey PGI, this is still happening.

I check in once a day now to see how many mechs are down at start - and how many never actually fire up.

Anyone have any ideas on what's going on?

[The Fox Kestrel]

Same here. Came back after years break 2 days ago. Was working fine 2 days ago. Today...disconnect every join attempt. Already tried all the supposed workarounds. DNS cache flush, ip release/renew, reinstall game, latest drivers, etc etc. Now basically at permanent 20min penalty timeout until I can try again. I remember now why I left.

Windows TCP monitor and wireshark both say I have exactly 0% packet loss to the server and <80ms latency. Issue is not on my end.

ATTN: We are aware of some instability issues in our Oceanic servers at the moment, and we are currently investigating the cause and how far the reach of this problem is. We thank you for your patience, and if possible we recommend queueing for quickplay matches in NA and EU servers only at this time. Thank you for your understanding.

[TVMA Doc]

The disconnects are already annoying enough, but I'm getting hit with disconnect EVERY time the game progresses to the countdown after map selection. This means that I'm getting penalties of up to ten minutes so far for "leaving game early" even though it is horrific client programming.

If this keeps up much longer, I'm permanently done with this game.

[Catra Lanis]

My line has been very solid since I started in 2014. Maybe a problem every 200 match if even that. Lately I've had at least one every session.

Look like I have a ping again with the Oceanic, and have checked it again for testing. Had unchecked it when it was not showing ANY ping.. and I was getting those disconnects.

[PublicWifi]

I'm seeing 2-3 D/C's in pub matches. Nothing too weird.
