Alright so I just had something hilarious / awful happen to me.

So I hopped into a random round. Gettin ready to roll, we get the message someone has disconnected. I hit tab, and notice its one of ours. A teammate chats "Great". I respond "Yeah, don't you love starting down by one?" to which they reply "down by two. One of us is a seven year-old."

I pause for a minute, and someone tells everyone to stay together. Then I reply "Well, a seven year-old has got to be better than a dc'er, right?" Just then I notice a target show up on sensors. I rotate, wait for lock, and fire off my LRMs...

... and crash to desktop.

<sigh>

Similar thing just happened to me, lighting the enemy team up and *poof*

Not sure what happened but me thinks that patch fubared my files or something, 985,000 cpu memory usage...

lol that is completely MWO. New patch same problems, and at least 4 new ones

I wonder how the seven-year-old did...

Ok, it wasn't just our group then...we've been seeing more of these weird drops like this once someone in the group has experienced the 4fps bug....anyone else?

What we do now, is when someone gets the 4fps bug, we all drop from the group, last group lead restarts client, affected player restarts machine to clear the mem leak, and well, I blow out the shader cache out of habit now...it's not like they fixed that either.

This seems to work in clearing up the problems that always seem to follow after someone grouped gets the 4fps bug, it almost never pays to keep the group for a rejoin. I'll agree it's a P.I.T.A. workaround, but it seems to work all the time.

It's usually better to restart the game client after every 3 games if you have these problems.

Also, the 4fps bug is still alive and kickin'. I continue to think it's a memory leak of sorts. After about 10-15 matches, I have to restart my client. Fixes it, but PGI should have fixed it already.

[Shazbotian]

Yeah I just wonder what the rest of the team thought of some who complained about disconnecting... and then immediately disconnected.

It came back for me in the most recent patch. The previous patch, November I think it was, I didn't have it at all after that. It sucks especially cause you are basically completely worthless that round, again creating a down-by-one problem. I had that last night and it took everything I could just to reach a cap point... and my team still won! hahah... oh well...
