Steps to reproduce:
- Start game client
- Launch match
- Play match to its completion
- Launch match
- Begin playing (after power up animation)
- Play for about 10 to 30 seconds (even engage other mechs in combat)
Results:
- Screen goes black
- I'm returned to the client lobby
- Friends/teammates report me as "disconnected"
- I'm still in any group I was in prior to disconnecting
- Mech remains in the match 'till its completion
- Issue persists until I reboot my computer
TL;DR: I can launch Mechwarrior and play a single match, then I'm disconnected from any (all) subsequent matches until I fully reboot my computer.
In short, this simply isn't tenable. And since I haven't changed anything on my end (updated drivers, changed ISPs, etc.), I'm wondering if somehow I'm getting false flagged as AFK or something?
