When you can't have a game with 2 full teams...why bother? Every match, people either not connecting or disconnecting...it is terrible.

PGI apologizes for having forgot to feed Harvey the Wunder Hamster, whom powers their servers through vigorous (yet sadly forced) hamster wheel running.

I think this is more an isp issue than actual server problems. I was having some rampant discos and lag last week and it turned out a hop to the servers was losing massive packets so I flushed the dns cache and it found a new route and no more discos or lag. The first thing anyone should do if the game is suddenly lagging out or discoing is to power down the pc and router/modem and let it sit for a few minutes. Then power back on and most connection issues should self resolve.

I run full screen and alt tab all the time. But I have matched my resolution and refresh rates to my TV. I'm playing on 1920X1080 at 60hz. Sure it's only 60 fps but that's good enough.

Now before I matched my setting on my TV to the setting on my desktop and the setting I wanted in MWO ALT Tabbing would cause disconnects all the time. TV is 65 or 70 inch, I don't remember exactly.

Fullscreen windowed is fine to alt tab but it might have its own performance issues for some users. I can't use it for some reason as the game stutters madly in that mode so I have to run dedicated fullscreen.
