I just came out of a match where 3 people on the other team disconnected before the game even started and then 1 or 2 more got discouraged and followed them out.

Our team was pretty ECM heavy but not a premade guys were scattered around. It seems Lights have yet another advantage over my preferred Atlas since they can get to the disconnected mechs and get free kills faster than anything else ;/

My ISP problems are totally RANDOM though. Sometimes I have your aforementioned crystal ball + glamour sparkles trailing behind my Ilya, and sometimes she hunches over on the water as I am left staring at my desktop's wallpaper.

For the record, I have only quit matches before the scoreboard appears when I get a yellow screen, or when I have the 4FPS bug, and those occurences probably amount to less than 5: I sometimes play through them anyway.

The person behind the console factors strongly into issues like these as well.

I've actually seen a guy disconnect 5 times in a row (yes, I sadly ran into him 5 times in a row, both on friendly and hostile teams), and while I didn't bother making a report I saw him on the forums several days later talking about how his ISP was acting up.

It's hard to know who's doing what, but more often than not I try not to care.

Makes that 5-8 win all the more interesting... and funny.

This.

There have been so many DCs for so many reasons for so many months, that now I chalk it up to faulty hotdrop jetbrakes and keep on fighting.

since the last patch ( yesterday ) it is realy rare.

i did play yesterday right after the patch 25 matches... had maybe 3 or 4 disconnects.
Today after 11 games maybe 2.

It is way better now...

In fairness I must say there has been 3 times I have gotten the black screen on load up, and two auto DCs which pissed me off because there is no rhyme or reason. The ones I hate are the afkers you know the ones where you look through there cockpit and it just jerks in one direction every 30 seconds or so and then the DCs that happen right after the game starts.

So if it happens before the countdown it could be bug odds are not but it could be because I have been there and so have clan mates. nothing like a 4 man drop and start hearing bitching over TS.
